Ellie-Bo Black Standard Large 36-inch Folding 2-Door Dog Cage/Crate with Metal Tray

It's always difficult when trying to choose what will in essence be, not only a bed but a safe and non-intrusive crate for your dog. My requirements living in a small apartment was that it shouldn't be too bulky, but still be amply spacious for my puppy. I measured what I felt would be a suitable space in all dimensions, then made my search to find the one I felt would be most suitable. It had to be strong but not so heavily constructed that it would make it difficult to move if needed. It also had to be simple and quick to put together. I have been more than impressed and delighted in this particular crate and it exceeded my expectations. It arrived very quickly to me here in Portugal and was well packed. Putting up the crate was as simple as pulling up the integrated handle and just fastening the sides! Cleaning the crate is quick and easy as it has ample headroom even for a small human adult to crawl inside too! It's very sturdy, airy and my puppy couldn't wait to get inside. I can lift it to where I want it to go, and because it has 2 doors (with effective bolts to lock), I can turn it with either the door on the long side or the shorter side. It has proved to be a brilliant purchase and the price is exceptionally reasonable. I can't even think of any negatives about this product and can highly recommend it. My only advice if you're buying a crate for the first time is to properly measure the space where you Intend to place it. Don't forget to measure the height too as if it's for a puppy, they will obviously grow and it makes sense to aim to get a crate that they will still be able to use when fully grown. I have a Maltese Bichon puppy and she will be able to comfortably use it for many years. Obviously, if you have a puppy for a larger breed you need to bear in mind that they won't fit into it when fully grown, it you still have to allow for their growing process they will quickly outgrow the crate! Sounds obvious, but it's still worth mentioning.

Good sturdy dog crate, really good size and excellent price.

The crate is robust with a matt silver finish which will not chip, and it comes with a lipped tray. Fairly easy to fold out into a crate shape. We found a few issues which need to be addressed by Ellie-Bo. 1. A separator panel should be included. This will allow users to separate off a smaller area for a small puppy and then enlarge it as the puppy grows, saving the need to buy a new crate and spend even more money. We bought this crate and used some firm wire and cable ties to make a smaller partition. If you do this take great care to make the edges of the wire safe for the puppy, We used a heavy duty tape to fold over the edge of the partition wire. 2. The doors do not open fully back and so stick out into the room/corridor, which could be a nuisance 3. There should be an option for left or right side hinging on both doors, or the doors should be removable, (or the crate should be usable upside down; more details in next section). We placed our crate in our utility, and found the 'sticking out' doors a real inconvenience in our particular positioning. As the crate is left open all day for the puppy to go inside as he pleases, the doors were continually in the way. So, we decided to turn the crate upside down, which reversed the hinging of the doors, which was perfect for our setup. We manoeuvered the tray round to the other side, (it needed a little final persuasion as it was a tight fit), and felt really pleased with ourselves. However, later in the day we noticed our puppy standing on his hind legs with his head protruding through the holes in the top of the crate. It was then that we realised that the 'official' bottom of the crate, (which has the tray standing on it), had much larger gaps (4 inch x 4 inch). So we ended up attaching some more wire over the holes, so that our puppy didn't hurt himself. Overall, what a palava. This crate is very good quality and has the potential to give it's users the scope for integrating it perfectly into their household. I hope Ellie-Bo come across this review and find the proposals worth considering. At a future date when our puppy is no longer a puppy, we will need to get the 'large' crate, and it would be great to see these issues resolved. If they are, we'll be buying their grate without reservation. If they don't, we'll look around at other crates before making our final decision. In the meantime, we hope potential purchasers find our experience useful.

Well made and metal base tray. Used for our cat after his leg operation. Perfect size allows litter tray at on end, small free space in the middle and sleeping area at the other end. Folds up so takes up little room to store when finished.

Was besseres kenne ich nicht . Ordentlich eingerichtet und der richtige Standord .Dann klappt es . Alle sind d zufrieden . Ich als Tainer bin zufrieden .

La he comprado para un perrete de 2 kg. Lo veo ideal para este tamaño y /o quizás alguno poco más grande, pero no mucho más, sino no tendrá espacio para moverse, o lo hará muy ajustado. En relación al acabado, muy bien, bien terminado. Los cierres de las puertas son fuertes, es prácticamente imposible que lo abra un animal si los cierras correctamente. Al sacar la jaula de la caja / embalaje, puede parecer complejo de montar, pero una vez que lo has hecho la primera vez, se hace a ojos cerrados, y se pliega igualmente, en 10 segundos. Para transportarla, ocupa un grosor muy pequeño una vez se pliega, entorno a unos 4-5 centímetros.

Muy bien, tal y como esperaba. No es endeble y tiene el tamaño perfecto para mi teckle. Incluso se mete la beagle para dormir un rato. Puerta frontal y lateral, acabados decentes y color oscuro. La bandeja encaja y es de un grosor suficiente y he metido la camita dentro y va perfecta. Tiene el tamaño adecuado para un apartamento aunque si tenéis sitio y os cuadra por uso, mejor coged uno más geande aunque el perro sea de tamaño de un teckle, siempre estará mejor y se podrá poner de pie de manera más cómoda.

Ottima gabbia per cani. Acquistata per il maremmano della mia compagna che a breve dovrà essere operato ai crociati. Dovrà stare 1 mese a riposo e solo in una gabbia si può essere sicuri che il riposo sia rispettato. E' davvero ben fatta. Le dimensioni: altezza 86,4cm - larghezza 78,7cm - profondità 121,9cm L'intera gabbia e' fatta con un filo di acciaio del diametro di 4mm, con uno spazio tra le "sbarre" di 3.6cm. Ha due porte di apertura, una sul lato corto e una sul lato lungo. Ha una maniglia (montaggio opzionale, io non l'ho montata) in plastica che si monta ad incastro. Si ripiega per facilitarne il trasporto e diventa di uno spessore di pochi cm. Ha il fondo in ferro rimovibile, basta scorrere il fondo (togliendo i blocchi) Ha doppie "maniglie" ad incastro di chiusura per ogni porta Arriva gia assemblata e piegata. Nella confezione ci sarà un manuale con le immagini per l'apertura corretta, e una semplice giuda (in inglese) di "addestramento" per far conoscere la gabbia al proprio cane. Non tutti i cani sono felici di essere chiusi in un posto nuovo, bisogna sempre fare una abituazione. Materiali diversi, rumori diversi, possono stressare non poco il cane.
