The verdict
This is the crate most puppy owners end up with, and the reason is the free divider panel. The listing describes it as letting the crate "grow with your dog, from puppy kennel to full-size crate," which is exactly the problem a new puppy creates: the space that keeps a sixteen-week-old from soiling one corner is a third of the space they will want at a year. Six sizes run from 18 to 48 inches, so you size to the adult and wall off the rest. Owners consistently mention easy tool-free assembly and that the divider works well for house training; the recurring complaints are bent wires on strong dogs and a side door that can be fussy to latch. Fold it flat when the crate stops being a bedroom and becomes a door left open.
Drawbacks
- Wire crates are not accepted for airline cargo
- Some owners report bent wires with heavy adolescent chewers
