Great cage, great build … impressive study construction and I love how it folds up … what a great idea!

This is a great crate. We have a huge puppy that was able to escape his old crate very easily. The crate is super sturdy and set up was a breeze (keep hands and fingers clear of side seams when folding open). Size wise, the bars are wide enough for our small cat to get in and out, but close enough together that the puppy cannot get out. There is a thin gap between the two trays that go under the bottom of the crate - we added a pee pad under there just in case he had an accident. We ordered a pad for the bottom.

The cage is heavy duty , very nice , my 3 chihuahua fit in it comfortably, great value for the money ..The only issue I have is with the locking ...the pins are short making it difficult to get a good grip on them they should be longer ..we are going to try to change them out with something a bit bigger..However you may mot have an issue with them like we do .

I purchased this cage for my daughters deaf dog . Very easy to build . She had purchase him 3 cages prior but he would brake out of them when she was a work and he also broke a bar on one of his other cage that stabbed his foot and caused him to have surgery so this cage is perfect for the thickness in bottom panels for this little guy’s safety. He loves this cage he does not try to break out even if he tried he wouldn’t be able to. He’s much calm now and I think he feels secure and it’s very spacious for him to move around so must make him feel he’s free verses the others where to small and caused him higher anxiety especially being deaf it’s hard . I highly recommend this for all dogs . This was an investment that will last a long time . Love her dog like he’s my grandchild so gotta spoil him the same way . My daughter can not be more happier. Thank you I would buy this again if I ever needed to .

I purchased this dog cage for my 2-year-old husky, who has a knack for escaping every enclosure I’ve tried in the past. This cage is a game-changer! The metal is super sturdy, and the locking mechanism is very secure. I also appreciate the removable tray at the bottom, which makes cleaning up accidents a breeze. It’s spacious enough for my dog to stretch out comfortably, and the assembly was straightforward. If you have a high-energy dog like mine, this cage is definitely worth it.

After heavily researching 20+ dog crates on Amazon (plus basic ones at my 3 local pet stores), I bought the 42-inch long Dakito crate from DLINK for my new rescue dog (56 lb Carolina Dog). She is afraid of most every new noise both outside and in the house (was in shelter for 1 year) so a dog crate provides the security and safety she needs. Because she stays in her crate for many hours of the day, it needs to fit all of her needs.Advantages of Dakito Dog Crate ------------------------------------------------• STURDY & WELL-CONSTRUCTED - welded metal construction (round metal vertical bars between thicker square metal pieces at perimeter edges of crate) with 2 easy-to-use locks @ top and bottom of door (plus 3rd lock on small low feeding door integrated into main door)• SAFE - metal coating is listed as dog-safe (i.e. “green” so not environmentally toxic for animals); floor slats are spaced 13/16 inch apart so my dog’s medium-sized paws cannot get stuck in between and it’s highly unlikely that a collar or dog tag could get stuck either (I bought a soft silicone tag that has flex to avoid getting stuck and does not make noise)• COMFORT - floor slats are very sturdy/supportive and are 3/4 inch wide making them comfortable to walk on (compared to the thin wires at the bottom of most crates sold at pet stores)• HYGIENIC - dog urine/feces/hair easily fall through the well-spaced floor slats for capture in tray that sits almost 2.5” below the crate's floor. This (1) keeps the crate cleaner for your dog (when you are not there to remove waste) and prevents your dog from moving or chewing the tray• EASIEST ASSEMBLY - crate is built as 1 set of solid pieces already connected together ... so setup is a breeze (no separate metal sides/top/bottom to connect to each other); just cut the zip ties and lift it to expand• PORTABLE - crate is on wheels that all rotate 360° and lock in place (my rescue dog would freak if the crate moved or made noise when she was inside). But the best part is . . . the crate collapses down to a 42” L x 32.5” H x 8” W panel that is easy to roll into a closet/room (when not needed) or even into your car (so your furry friend can feel safe at the park or relative/friend's home)• BEAUTIFUL - the dark gray stippled metal finish on the Dakito crate is the most sophisticated of any crate I’ve seen (on Amazon or in pet stores). Although my dog could care less, I am thrilled that the Dakito crate looks so nice with my living room furniture• GOOD PRICE - it’s about the lowest price for comparable crate sizes even after including the extra delivery feeRoom for Improvement ----------------------------------------------------------• INCREASE INTERIOR HEIGHT BY 6+ inches - A dog crate needs to be large enough to allow your dog to: (1) turn around in the crate by walking from one end to the other {not just spinning in place} (2) lay with its front paws fully extended and (3) sit and stand with its head fully erectThe interior size of the 43-inch Dakito crate is ~41.25“ L x ~26.25“ W x ~26“ H. Unfortunately, the Dakito crate is ~6 inches shorter than crates of similar lengths and widths sold by other sellers. Because my dog is 33” tall (when standing and sitting), the 26” interior height is too short for her so I had to (begrudgingly) buy a taller crate ... which is not nearly as good as the Dakito in every other aspect• CATCH TRAY - instead of 1 large tray, make the catch tray (for urine/feces/hair) 2 equally-sized separate pieces so it is easier to remove and clean*** Note: if your dog is destroying a sturdy metal crate, the problem is NOT the crate. The problem is that the pet parent is not adequately addressing their dog’s needs for exercise or anxiety . . . so instead of blaming crate sellers for not building an "indestructible dog prison," PLEASE consult a DOG TRAINER so that YOU can LEARN what your dog needs (instead of leaving your dog no option but to act out).

The latch quality is great, very easy to assemble, it will not bend or break, comes with all the parts and how to assemble it and it is very safe for my German shepherd that has anxiety issues and with the other regular cages she would bite and get out. I also like how you can move the cage without any issues . I really recommend this if you have a big dog that has anxiety issues.

This dog cage is super easy to use. No installation is needed - unfold it and it’s ready to go. The cage is also quite sturdy, so I don’t have to worry about the dog chewing it up like some of the plastic one I had before. The wheels on the bottom make it easy to move around.The bottom tray is another bonus - slide in and out and I can easily rinse it with water to keep it clean. Highly recommend!
