Carlson Pet Products Extra Large Secure Foldable Single Door Metal Dog Crate, Black

There is so much to say about this crate. I was worried that the extra large crate wouldn't be large enough for my rough collie. Many companies say extra large will fit a full size collie only to find that my dogs head hits the top of the crate. This crate is really nice. First of all it folds flat with a small catch to lock it together. The crate took less than a minute to set up, and half that time to take down. The bottom tray is a heavy duty plastic and doesn't make the metal noise when the dog walks on it. As you can see from the picture my dog has more than enough room even with his bed in the crate to walk around, curl up or stretch out and still have room to spare. It's the perfect crate for shows, home, traveling, or even everyday. The tray is easy to clean with a squirt bottle or a rinse in the shower.

This is a Carlson Compact and secure metal dog crate. This crate is an extra large, black dog crate. It measures 48inches long,30 inches wide and 36 inches long. The wire is coated in a black finish. I believe this will keep the cage from rusting. Altho I wouldn't leave it outside without a cover. It seems very sturdy. I went over this crate to see if there is any way of a pet escaping. With all the latches and catches in place, your dog is not going to get loose. When traveling in a truck, I would secure the crate down to prevent sliding. Also it would be a good idea to put some kind of bedding in the crate as well. You could also use this for a cat or puppies. The wire of the cage is too narrow for even a cat or pup to go through. The crate could also be covered with something to give your dog the feeling of a comfy place to hang out. It also contains a large hard plastic tray in the bottom. This black tray has a 'lip' on it that's about 1 1/2 inch which will keep anything from spilling out. The back panel can be opened to remove the tray for cleaning. The tray can be hosed down for a quick clean. There is a door in the front of the crate that is large enough for a large dog to enter without any problems. The door has 2 locks on it for added security. This cage is large, but will fold down into a compact piece that can be slipped under most beds. Also the tray installed, folds down with it.
