Love Thy Crate
TL; DR: I love my crate. Yup, nothing more to read here unless you want the skinny on why. In that case…
Me @ 8 weeks old in the “small” sized crate (December 2019)
Enter my story….I own all 3 available sizes of this crate: Small (24”), Medium (30”) and Large (36”) and could not be a bigger fan. I’ve used the pad it comes with and have also used my own crate pad/bed - both options have worked for me and my cuddle buddies Owl (who I hope is okay - poor guy went missing a while back), Llama, and occasionally my Ugly Doll.
My Favorite Features:
The mesh panels on the sides and top can be unzipped and opened giving me “private cabana” vibes…
When zipped closed the panels still allow great ventilation and I can then convert my “cabana” into my own cocoon and safe space
Set up is super easy and quick. If putting things together isn’t your forte, this crate is for you
Portability. Whether it’s time to get away from your human(s) and head over to your BFF’s house for the weekend, or are out for a picnic in the park, this crate folds into a flat position and comes with its own carrying case.
Sizing recommendation: Buy the crate based on your pup’s expected full grown adult size.
Small (24”): I utilized this crate up until I was 3 months old and about 10 pounds.
Medium (30”): this worked well for me until about 7 months of age. I now use this crate only to lounge in, and keep all of the panels open
Large (36”): at 8 months old and 16 pounds this is my sleeping crate! It provides the most room and clearance for me to fully stretch my legs (I like to lay upside down a lot), as well as stand up, turn, and move around – even enough space should I grow a little more. I also like to voluntarily lounge in there and convene with my crew of plush toys.
