Made in China. Review: Great crate even two years later. - After having this crate for two months I've come to the conclusion that this is AWESOME. I am buying two more... one for each dog. It is easy to store (folds flat), transport (MUCH easier to set up in a SUV or car than one of those metal crates), carry (the handle is nice), and clean (take off the cover; wash, dry, put back on easily and there are no issues with wear and tear from the W/D as of yet). I bought this originally for two puppies that we adopted when they were about 4 months old... A Border Collie Mix and a Flat Coated Retriever - about 15 lbs each. I crated them together in one 36 inch crate for about two months. They're too big to sleep together in the crate at the same time - now 40 and 30 lbs - but individually it fits them perfectly. The 36 inch size may be too small for the retriever when he is full grown. The 70lb limit set by the manufacturer seems accurate. And yes, my dogs do chew, but they haven't taken to chewing this crate, or it is so minimal I haven't even noticed. What we put in the crate for them was a thick dog bed covered with a blanket, a couple of non-squeeky toys so they could chew at night and not wake us up, and one of my night shirts that I didn't mind being chewed on. My husband read something about putting worn shirts into the crate since it has the owner's scent on it, the puppies feel more comfortable. We also have a Keeshond who is almost four and I crate trained him until he was 1 1/2. He will freely walk into this crate and lay down with the door open. He's not as keen on the idea of sleeping in there all night, but that's just because he's used to sleeping on our bed. I was a little weary of getting this crate simply because of the reviews. Two of the "1" star reviews are IDENTICAL posts written by the SAME PERSON. Three of them are over two years old. I am assuming that companies update their product more often than every two years OR the issue of desertcart posting a different picture than what they send is now fixed. The "2" and "3" star reviews are just silly. These people's dogs were not crate trained - see below - and they're blaming the lack of training their dogs had on the "cheapness" of the crate. The dog has to *ACCEPT* the crate; not want to get the heck out of it after two seconds. Some of the other non-five star reviews are along the same lines. Animals getting anxious or bored and pawing or chewing the crate. If dogs chew or paw excessively and you don't have a way of stopping bad behavior with your animal, this crate IS NOT for you... That includes when you put a dog in a metal crate and they paw at the door to try and open it. It may seem cute in a metal crate and you think nothing of it, but that will ruin mesh very easily. This is a sturdy mesh but enough paws at the material with long nails and it's ruined. Definition of "Crate Training" from Wikipedia: Crate training is the process of teaching a pet to accept a crate or cage as a familiar and safe location. Advocates claim that dogs are den-dwelling animals and that a crate can become a den substitute. Update 12/16/12: We still have the same three crates that we originally purchased. At first I thought that the 36" crate would be too small for our retriever, but he fits inside it well and loves it! We keep the crates against a wall in our living room and I will often walk by them and see each of our dogs inside their individual crates just napping, without us asking them to "go to bed". The crate covers have been through multiple washes, and while they do skink if you dry them, they still fit over the frame. We still have our metal crates but I'm honestly not sure why as I cannot think of a situation where we would use those over these soft-sided crates. Review: PERFECT CRATE WITH 1" CON" and 1 CAVEAT - This crate is perfect in SO MANY ways; it is attractive, the cloth cover removes ( for washing, just to freshen it once in a while) and (when the cover IS removed) the metal frame collapses conveniently for storage in a closet or in the car. This crate has nice mesh ventilation points on the front and sides of the crate . JUST 1 " CON" The zipper on our first crate broke as I was zipping it up- I tried to have it repaired but it was cheaper to just buy another one ( bummer) -SO -ZIP THIS UP SLOWLY.. THE CRATE IS SURPRISINGLY ROOMY( our 80 pound "BIG boy" would sometimes like to " hang- out " in his 38 pound little " sister's" crate,LOL. A WORD TO THE WISE: I WOULD NOT recommend this crate if your dog is an "escape artist" ; a dog who will chew, claw *( the material would NOT ,in my opinion, stand up to a determined set of claws ) *etc. to get out; as the MATERIAL of the crate is (pleasantly) light weight ( easy to move- good ventilation) BUT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT MEANT TO HOLD UP TO THAT KIND OF ABUSE. My mild -mannerd little "girl" will stay comfortably quiet for as long as it takes to get ones teeth cleaned and stop for lunch on the way home ( 3-4 hours). BUT I WOULD NOT trust this " crate" to contain our ( adorably) rambunctious 2 year old Belgian Malinoise "tornado of energy and determination" dog, if she chose to get out ha-ha- for her we bought a $600.00 gorgeous ( super sturdy) mahogany crate that looks( and doubles ) as an end table in the livingroom- we place this easily portable crate ( for our quiet girl) next to her sister's sturdy wooden one when we go out and both are happy- AND WE'RE happy that we can pick this crate up( easily) and pop it in an upstairs closet ( out of sight) when we return home! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE YOUR DOG(S) CRATED FOR 6,8 or more hours, no bathroom breaks ( how would YOU LIKE THAT?) NO WATER. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER WAY (doggy day care, hiring a dog walker ( from a reputable source) to come let your dogs out for a break or walk.We have always treated our furry babies as WE would want to be treated-they have the same needs as we do, exercise, bathroom breaks, ,a drink of water,companionship ( YES THEY MISS YOU WHEN YOU'RE AWAY!

First, measure your pet from the top of his head to the floor (the Port-A-Crate only needs to be one to two inches taller than this measurement). Second, measure your pet from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail (the Port-A-Crate only needs to be four to six inches longer than this measurement). Following these guidelines will allow your pet enough room to stand up, turn around, and lay down comfortably. For more help contact Petnation at PetSupport@spectrumbrands.com. **Q: Does the 24in. have loops to secure a seatbelt ?** A: No, the crate does not have loops to secure a seat belt. For more help contact Petnation at PetSupport@spectrumbrands.com. **Q: Will this crate last for a Labrador retriever?** A: If your dog is really high energy and persistent then u might out for a metal cage with locking door... Otherwise, zip this one to the top corner, the crate can be pushed over if the dog is being wild but I don't think it would hurt the dog. **Q: why is the 32" so much more expensive than the 36"** A: Good question but I wouldn't know why. The 28" is considerably more expensive than the 24" which also seems odd and the 36" is less than the 28"! Weird. The 36" isn't really all that much bigger so why not just buy the 36"? Bigger is better if it's less expensive! Maybe you should send this question directly to Amazon. They must have a contact email but you may have to search for it. If you search Amazon for Petnation 614 they also have the 36" for $117! Maybe the $48 in a mistake. Walmart has the 32" for $37.87 and the 36" for $48.72 online!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great crate even two years later. *by J***7 on October 2, 2010* After having this crate for two months I've come to the conclusion that this is AWESOME.

We bought this as we were traveling a lot over the past summer and needed something lighter than our metal crate for our fur baby. Not only is this much lighter and easier to carry but it’s much easier to set up and take down than a metal crate is. Checking in and out of various hotels and having an easily assembled home for our dog that was minimal fuss was wonderful. I think the quality is also good especially for the price. Some people mentioned in the reviews their dog chewed/clawed the crate open and damaged it. This was not an issue for us. I would say though that my dog is not a chewer on anything she’s not allowed to chew on so for us the crate held up very well (If you do have quite the avid chewer I would not buy this crate, but I guess any pop-up/portable crate would not be an option for you really). She did sometimes scratch at the front of it (out of excitement to get out when she saw us) but it held up well and she caused no damage. One day she was a little Houdini and got out of the crate while we were away but that was our fault since we forgot to secure the zippers on the special clip for them so they can’t be pulled apart, but that’s on us! For size reference I attached some photos, we bought the 28 inch one. Our dog could have easily fit comfortably in the 24 inch one but for some reason she doesn’t like to bow her head to walk into a crate and prefers the extra clearance, so we sized up. She’s an 18 lb cockapoo. Very happy with the purchase! **UPDATE** my husband read my review and says I remember the “Houdini” moment incorrectly, he mentioned that she did actually open the zipper from the seam and got out (I thought we just forgot to secure the zippers to the clip) However, this only happened once so it could have been a fluke incident. Due to this I changed my review to 4 stars, I trust my hubby remembers it better lol ! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1853629-port-a-crate-indoor-and-outdoor-home-for-pets-collapsible](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1853629-port-a-crate-indoor-and-outdoor-home-for-pets-collapsible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
