Best Pet Cages and Crates

Nowadays, dog crates are dime a dozen and finding a good one may seem like a daunting task for some users. Fortunately, this wooden pet cage from Casual Home is not only a good crate for your dog but also a nice piece of decor for your house.

Resembling a regular coffee table, the crate has a special compartment underneath the table top for a smaller dog. With dimensions of 20 x 27.5 x 24 inches the pet crate can accommodate small to medium dog breeds with relative ease leaving plenty of room for pet’s comfort. More crate sizes are optionally available so you can find the one that suits your furry friend, depending on their size. In case the standard Espresso color is not really your cup of tea, this model is optionally available in 4 different colors so you can pick the one that suits your room design the most.

For added security, the crate is equipped with a lockable latch on the main gate, which allows securing the cage. The latch itself is fairly durable which negates the risk of your pet breaking it accidentally or on purpose. Conversely, the lack of metal parts and sharp corners also adds to the overall safety of the crate for your dog.

Finally, if you are desperately searching for a simple, reliable pet crate, then this product from Casual Home will be the right pick for that role. The crate has a simple design, which makes cleaning and maintaining it easy.

The Noz2Noz Sof-Krate is presented in five different sizes. The smallest one measures 19 x 12.7 x 11.5 inches and will suit the owners of Pomeranian Spitzes or Toy terriers. The biggest size has such dimensions - 40.8 x 26.8 x 20.6 inches. Imagine, this model can fit even Bobtail. So, it is obvious that you will be able to choose the best size just for your pet.

The frame of this model is made of solid steel with rounded corners. The surface is covered with the heavy-duty cloth. For the better air circulation, the crate is equipped with the tight-weave mesh inserts on the sides. Owing to the construction and materials, this model can be a perfect portable dog and cat crate for small and medium-sized dogs. So, you can take it along on different trips, excursions or visits to the vet in your car, which makes it a quite convenient crate that doesn't feature metal framing.

Noz2Noz Sof-Krate construction is easy to assemble and install. You just have to push button tabs and the crate will be collapsed within the seconds. Really easy! It can also be a great space-saver as it can be stored flat. Moreover, the model is equipped with the washable cover, which can be easily removed from the steel frame. For this reason, you can throw it even in the washing machine. And in the end, the  Noz2Noz Sof-Krate is simply one of the most optimal picks for the price, especially if you are looking for a high-quality mesh pet crate.

Being one of the biggest crates on our list, this MidWest Homes for Pets crate is not as heavy as you would expect. With dimensions of 33 x 30 x 48 inches, the cage weighs about 53 pounds once fully assembled. With that in mind, the crate can accommodate a fairly large dog just under 90-pound mark. Alternatviely, this cage is optionally available in smaller variants so you can definitely find the size that suits your dog and room layout.

This 48-inch model features a plastic divider on the bottom of the crate for added comfort of your pet. That said, we still advise placing a mat or other kind of soft material on top of it, since the divider is rather stiff.

Conversely, the crate has only one door in the front with two latches located on the top and bottom sides of it. Even though you can secure the door, its wire frame nature makes the latches a tad bit weak, so we strongly recommend getting a secondary lock just in case. As for the convenient aspects, this model has a carrying handle for transporting the empty crate, as well as roller feet on the bottom to protect wooden tiles and floors.

Wrapping things up, if you were looking for a simple yet highly functional pet crate, then this model from MidWest Homes for Pets will be right up your alley. While not being too heavy, it provides even the bigger dog breeds out there with plenty of room inside.

Just like many other similar products, this crate features a single door on the frontal side of the cage. For added security, door has two latches instead of a single one. Owing to this, even if one latch opens the second one will reinforce the door.

To make the crate more portable, the wiring also includes a carry handle on the top side, which enables carrying the crate. Although it is fairly durable and robust, it is not recommended to carry the cage with the dog inside due to the risk of breaking. The only thing we didn’t really appreciate about this model is the fact that wiring on the sides of the cage is a bit rough around the edges, which doesn’t make it suitable for long-term use for your pet.

On the bright side, though, this crate can be folded when it’s not needed, which simplifies the storage part of keeping a pet cage quite a bit. Conversely, it can be put up in mere seconds when you have guests or simply need to keep the dog restrained for a while.

Dimension-wise, the cage measures 25 x 23 x 36 inches and weighs only 20 pounds (with a divider pad attached), so it can fit a medium-sized dog without too much of on issue. As for the total capacity, crate can hold up to 90 pounds of weight before its door and wire frame begins to budge. 

All in all, if a simple design is what you look for in pet crates this AmazonBasics crate will be a good option. Easy to assemble, store, and transport, it is, perhaps one of the best pet crates and cages for dogs for the price.

This particular crate from X-ZONE PET will be suitable for smaller dog breds only, due to its low weight and mesh materials. To be more specific, the total weight of a fully assembled crate barely reaches 2 pounds, which makes it good only for tiny dogs that weigh 15 pounds or even less.

On the contrary, a mesh pet crate is quite convenient to have if your little furry friend becomes too eager when guests or other visitors come to your house. Speaking of conveniences, the floor mat, as well as other mesh elements of the crate are easily washable, however, they require to be detached from the main frame before cleaning.

Made of combination of high-quality Oxford fabric and 230D polyester, the surface of the walls, as well as the bottom of the mesh cage doesn’t stain easily, which ultimately makes this model a prime pick for owners of different small breeds of dogs.

All things considered, if you need a light and simple pet crate for a tiny dog that tends to get too excited with new people around - this mesh model from X-ZONE PET will be an excellent pick for that. Simple in assembly and maintenance, it requires zero former experience with pet crates and cages for dogs. Likewise, the lack of metal parts inside the cage makes it a safe option for your furry friend.
