IRIS USA Small Animal Wire Cage, brown (586230)

Good size for smaller dog. The plastic connector to put the sides together allow the sides to pivot a bit. We have a white one like this that’s a bit sturdier. We use it for night time. Easy to put sleeping puppy to bed - since there’s no top.

I got this because we have a small dog and my husband’s back hurts a lot. It is much easier for him to get our pup out from the top instead of having to use the dog doors like in a crate, where he would have to crouch down.The only downside for us has been the clips in the corner that secure the pieces together. Our dog is a very good climber and uses the corners like a ladder, with a little boost from the door as well. I wish it had an optional lid for the top. For quality construction, though, I really like it.

It's for my adopted Chihuahua, but you might want to use it to accustom your dog to a grass surface. The sturdy snap-on bottom detaches from the cage and there is no wire structure at the bottom, so it can be made floorless. Thus I can set it up on grass to potty train my dog. He was abused by the people not training him and he developed the habit of hiding to go in the house. Because of this, he won't go in front of me, and I'm sure he was punished when he got caught. So, I can't walk him, at least not yet. I have to put him out on a stake and leave. There are owls in my neighborhood, so this serves the need at night that they can't dive bomb him. Needless to say, he would be seriously injured and maybe carried away.This would also serve well as a place to allow your dog to be outside without supervision.

It doe what we need but our neurotic 10lb Maltese-mix bent the door the first time we used it! we now have to use bungee cords & a large painter stick for added support to make sure she doesn't break through it. Also could really use some much clearer directions of how to put the thing together!

Excellent pen! Price was right with no shipping cost. The pen is working out great,

This is so elegant looking and just perfect for my little guinea pig. IRIS cages are high quality and sensibly made.

This is the worst pet cage I have ever seen.. It will not stay together.. Very low quality

I use this for small pets about 8-15 lbs. As a multiple toy-breed pet owner for several decades I've owned many different cages; this is by far the easiest to assemble/collapse/move/store/reassemble that I've ever owned.Frankly, it makes me feel bad about how much money I've spent on other cages that weren't designed nearly as well and weren't nearly as easy to clean, assemble, move, or store.The only thing I would change (if I could) is the color.

As a human the crate is very nice, very well made, but my puppy just hated it. It's got nothing to do with the crate. So we've kept it and set up his food bowls and use the roof as an extra shelf to put his dog stuff. He's warmed up to it, but it never will be a place he sleeps in. he does sometimes hang out in the daytime there though.One thing I would fix is the door latch. It's basically a drop key latch with a sharp end metal stake holding the door shut. It pricked my hand a bit (no blood), but it's rather sharp and I don't understand why that exposed piece of metal couldn't be blunt. My dog didn't spend a lot of time near the door latch, but I imagine a rambunctious dog pawing at it could get hurt.

Was nice for a tiny dog, but I thought it had a top on it as well, but it was an open top.

This was the smallest crate ever, more for your bunny rabbit, returned it the next flowing day😔
