Wow great dog crate but what is with the price? $52.95 and that is after taking 24% percent off! It looks like a solid product and comes with a divider panel which is the key to the whole thing but the price is killing me. Take a look at this dog crate only $38.99 for the same size and includes a divider panel, plastic pan and requires No tools to set up!

i bought two of these crates at a tune of 150 each from a pet store. what a rip off they totally stunk, at least for my 2 dogs, one of which was a pup. they both actually tore the crap out of both of them to the point there was nothing i could do to fix them anymore.
I guess i should start by saying that my dogs actually not only bent most of the wires or stretched them and even broke a tone of them making holes that they could squeeze out of. so at first i went around all the joints and where the door met the frame and put on twisty ties,trying to strengthen them. that lasted less than a day they had them off and were out of the kennel in no time flat. then i tried plastic tie strips like you would use to tie together wires in a car to keep wires from dangling. This lasted about 3 or 4 days. Then I started duct taping all the joints. i would have to take a knife to cut the tape off the door to open it. well within a week my dogs figured out that they could eat the tape. So then i figured okay you little brats i went out and bought a ton of little clamps, they figured out within about two weeks how to use their tongues to unscrew them so they could get out. These crates were such a twisted mess by the end of 3 months i had to throw them away. It did do one thing though and that was keep my dogs busy for awhile when i wasnt at home. I then switched to the plastic kennels. They have already started working on the door on those, but i think i have finally slowed them down a bit by turning them around and having the door right up against a wall. Its harder for them to push on the door to bend the frame and brake all the wires. or what ever they call them.

Perhaps padding the crate or covering it up will prevent the dogs from trying to pry it open or break any wires, risking self-injury.

Are these crates acceptable for travel on airlines or trains?

I believe these collapsible wire crates aren't acceptable for air travel because they have carry certain risks. Plastic carriers are used for cargo/checked baggage and the soft ones are used for "under the seat" in-cabin pet traveling.

I had blankets over both cages, first i had one over both at the same time and then since that didnt work after some time. i put a blanket over each. Didnt make a difference, but it does make a difference with a plastic cage.

Maybe try cratewear, it straps onto the sides of the cage and are made of sturdy material. It isn't expensive and is an easy fix. You can find it all over but this is the site that I like best

i got mine 3 yrs ago for my first dog and its still in good shape. im now using it for my new puppy and getting a bigger one for my 3yr old in a week or 2.

i think its a great kennel. it folds up nice if you need to travel for a few weeks or longer.

i did buy mine at about $100 but i now found them at another store for about 60 bucks.
