Petmate Deluxe Edition Wire Dog Kennel

I bought this crate for a new puppy about 6 months ago. It has a couple of features that are nice. The rubber feet are great for damping down noise and saving the floor, and the multiple doors are great for reaching in from the top, etc. But I've stopped using it because it's so flimsy. The rounded corners are part of the front and back panels, and don't line up with the sides at all. On my crate, which is 25 inches high, there's just a single hook in the middle holding the side to the front, and there are 1 inch gaps at the top and bottom. Also, the back, which is designed to fold into the crate for storage, has such a shallow catch at the top that it actually fell into the crate onto the puppy a couple of times.

This could be a nice crate if all the pieces fit together better, and had much better joins between the pieces, but as it is, I think it's dangerous.

I have this product for my dog, it appeared sturdy however my husky easily bent the wire in multiple places, was able to undo the latch and was found with her head squished between open joints, This product was not well welded or assembled. I contacted the company and they were less than caring or helpful and stated "dogs are strong". I've also found sites in which other dogs have met their unfortunate end due to this poorly made product. If you care about your pet avoid this product like the plague.

I have both a Midwest Ultimate and a Petmate Deluxe crate and have been very happy with both.

The Petmate has heavy gauge wires spaced every 1.5" and absolutely is not "flimsy". Also, the hammertone finish and curved edges make it very attractive. The top door doesn't really make much sense to me, however. In comparison the Midwest doesn't look as nice and seems to be similarly strong. One advantage of the Midwest is that it has a door at each end that open up in different directions and a side door so there is more flexibility in placement. Either crate is very well made and you can see it if you compare them to "value" crates that use thin wire spaced further apart. Both products are very nice.

The Petmate Deluxe Edition Wire Kennel has all the extras to make your life easier. The dog probably won't notice the difference. I love having the extra door on the top of the crate for easily adding toys or bedding. I know the small door-in-door on the front is for feeding access but I use it for that last bit of scratching before I leave for work.
