EliteField 3-Door Soft Dog Crate with Bed & Carrying Bag (2-Year Warranty)

I purchased this dog crate a couple of months ago and use it daily. The shipping was very quick and it arrived in good shape from being packed well in the cardboard shipping box. I will give a detailed description of the crate because there are not many times that one truly feels like they got a great bang for your buck on a purchase. My 6 year old 70# lab was crate trained since she was a puppy using a large wire crate. When she was puppy @ times we did shut her door when we had company over but basically the wire crate was her bed/den with the door left open after she was fully potty trained. Happily she did not make messes after being potty trained and never chewed on things to have to contain her all the time when we left the house. Shoes were kept high off floor then. With crate use she never seemed attracted to sleeping on the furniture either. Her crate was her safe and comfortable place to sleep in. I also put a sheet over the crate to make it more private for her. I purchased this soft-sided crate to possibly remove the wire crate and put @ a different house so she would have a 'home' away from home when I was gone. The soft-sided crate would be her main crate @ home affording more options of easily taking it down and transporting to another location. This was/is my goal. This crate will do all of that. It's too big to set up open in the back seat of my sedan (perhaps the size down would). If I had an SUV I know I would be able to comfortably travel with her long distance having it set up for use during travel. I did get the slightly bigger one to make sure it was roomy enough. The next size down was smaller than the wire crate and she would not have had as much room for a large size dog and as she ages and sprawls out. It fits well between the front and back seats to transport for destination use when it is folded flat and in the zippered tote. It does fit in the trunk of my full size car but does not leave room for too much else other than assorted smaller duffle bags and totes. Not a problem for traveling if it's just the 2 of us. My dog no longer chews on anything other than rawhides so I can't speak about how it would stand up to that type of abuse. Or if your dog took their nails and clawed on the screen doors and windows trying to get out. I don't have that problem. I can assure you that the construction of this crate is exceptional in quality and detailing and craftsmanship. Very easy to set-up. Didn't even need the cheat sheet. The crate features an attached and removable pouch with hand-strap for supplies on one end. If you used this for a day trip or camping a handy feature. Another non-removable zippered pouch is attached to the top of the crate for supplies also. The top of the crate is also the zippered ventilating mesh door with crossed X webbed strapping with a Velcro closure like a duffel bag. A nice handle to easily pick the crate up to move. One narrow end of the crate has a zippered mesh door and one of the long sides has a zippered mesh door that you can unzip, roll up and Velcro to keep the door open. 5 sides of this crate have the mesh for ventilation with 3 zippered openings. The top of the crate is also a zippered door for access. I can't see using this feature unless your dog is a light weight. I could see how this crate would be handy if you wanted a secure place for a new litter of puppies although over time the crate would probably be abused with their messes and friskiness. Probably would hold up to a power wash or back yard hose down to clean up rather easily and air dry. But a good quite spot for a birthing I imagine. I've never bred dogs but as a kid we had to give our dog a nice quite place to have her puppies. The floor of the crate is made of the same rubberized canvas material that the rest of the crate is constructed with. Very durable and probably water resistant. Obviously with the mesh top not waterproof unless a tarp was also used. I'm not a camper but I believe if I was, this crate would be exactly what I would want. If it was not mentioned in the other reviews the crate came with a very large zippered tote to store/transport the crate when it is folded flat with hand/shoulder straps. I was pleasantly surprised with this handy addition of the carrier tote. Also included was a small leash and a bottom cushion that is sheep skin like fabric with the underside rubberized. This pad is thin. I have put her very large and thick floor pillow in the crate for her daily use. It fits perfect and what dream bedroom she has. She loves this crate and adapted to it right away when I set it up for home use within hours. The dog has a tendency to nap in her wire crate during the day in a different room and this crate @ night and during the day when I am on the computer. I lightly draped a sheet on this one too to create her 'den'. I can leave the house and know she is in either crate napping and not on the furniture. The construction is superb for the way we use the crate but if you had a high energy, chewing and clawing dog with the doors zippered shut this crate probably would not hold up over time. I did a lot of research before I purchased this crate. I changed from purchasing another wire one to ultimately a more practical 2nd crate that is very high quality and affords more options for portability if we turn into campers or visit friends and family on a road trip. One of the best purchases that I have made. A long review but I wanted to point out the exception quality and extra features that this crate has and that I almost made a mistake buying another clumsy wire crate that would not have been as suitable for our needs. I will mention also that the color is great now that it seems to be permanent in the house and not just for travel. I'm happy it is nice basic beige with black trim instead of a bold color. If you plan to travel/camp with your dog and have enough room I would suggest this crate also for a smaller sized dog giving your pet plenty of room to move around in. If your pet chews or claws I don't think this crate would work out for long. If these are not your issues, the crate will be perfect and you will be very pleased like me with the purchase.

We actually bought the **36-inch** crate for our **two cats**, and it has been one of the best purchases we've made for traveling. We're currently outfitting our **NuCamp Boondock T@G** for a six-week cross-country adventure, and this crate fits perfectly across the back seat of our truck while still leaving plenty of room for food and water bowls. For reference, one of our cats is a **15-pound Siamese mix that's nearly 3 feet long from nose to tail**. We were concerned he'd outgrow most travel crates, but the 36-inch version makes him look small! Both cats have plenty of room to stretch out, turn around, and nap comfortably. The **three zippered mesh doors** are fantastic. They make it easy to load the cats from different directions, provide excellent airflow, and allow us to reach inside without moving the entire crate. Instead of using the included bed, we added a **memory foam mattress with a cooling side for summer and a cozy fleece side for cooler nights**, and our cats settled into it immediately. One unexpected advantage is the **aluminum frame**. It gave us the perfect place to attach a hamster-style hanging water bottle, so our cats always have fresh water without a bowl tipping over or spilling during travel. What really impressed us was how easy this crate is to use. **Setup takes less than a minute, and folding it down takes under 20 seconds.** Because the frame has some flexibility, it's also much easier to load into vehicles with smaller door openings than a rigid kennel. The crate is lightweight, folds flat for storage, and the quality of the fabric, zippers, and frame has exceeded our expectations. If you're traveling with cats in an RV, SUV, or on long road trips, I highly recommend this crate. It's comfortable for the cats, incredibly convenient for us, and has become an essential part of our travel system. You can also use it as a wonderful outdoor viewing space at any RV campsite.

I have had an excellent crate for 15 years that finally broke down and I was looking for a replacement. So disappointed to learn that the company no longer exists and I could not get another for our new puppy. After much searching and review reading, I selected this one and have been very happy with its performance. Good quality construction, easy to set up and fold down. The carrying case with shoulder strap makes it really easy to carry up and down the stair and get into the car. So its super convenient. But best of all, the new puppy loves it. Our Sully sleeps through the night very peacefully in this crate. He looks very comfortable on the cushioned mat that is included. The crate is sturdy enough to contain our high energy puppy easily. Zippers are strong and have clips to anchor them so pokey little noses cannot force the zipper to open. I followed the size guide and he has plenty of room. This has been an excellent purchase and I highly recommend this crate. It is well made, worth the price, and I expect it to last a long time.

This crate is awesome. I wanted a portable crate so that I could bring my Goldendoodle to work. She has a wire crate at home and has been trained to sleep in it at night and for short periods during the day when we are not home. But even the smaller-sized wire crate (we have a 30" for our 10 pound puppy) is a beast to move. It is heavy and awkward - even to fold it is not that easy. There was no way I was going to buy another one to haul to work. This crate works perfectly. First, it is relatively light and easy to carry - even the 42" one that I bought so that our puppy could use it as a full-sized adult. Second, set up was a breeze. I admit to being one of those that hates instructions and tries to set things up without reading them if at all possible. The set up was lightning fast and easy. I did double check the instructions after I was done to make sure that I did it right (lol) and I probably will look at them when I take it back down. Third, the design is very functional. I like the two doors - one on the long side and one on the short side. The Velcro fasteners that hold up the mesh panels when they are open are smart and easy to use. Even when the crate is fully assembled it can be moved very easily. The quality seems great. Having said that I would not use this to crate train any dog or leave a dog that wasn't crate trained in here without constant supervision. Oh heck, I will go as far as to say if you are going to crate train your dog do not use this - use this after they are wire crate trained. Beg, borrow, or steal a wire crate to train them so that you don't set them up for failure with this one. Any motivated dog, including a small puppy could easily destroy this if they are not trained to stay in a crate. When our puppy started in the wire crate she would often gnaw on the corners. But once trained this is super. I love that she can have extra room but I would never have been able to manage any wore crate this size. Way too big. Plus this is portable in a snap. I can see us taking it wherever we travel. great purchase!

I bought this size for our 35 lb doodle so she can stretch out. It’s light weight to carry and sets up and goes down easily. We finally traveled with it, and our girls wanted to sleep together. There was plenty of room. We use an additional mattress with this since the one that came with it is rather thin. This was a good purchase.

We purchased this crate because of the reviews and we were taking our 10 lb chihuahua on vaca with us. We could not be more happy with this soft dog crate! It was comfortable and very sturdy without being like a rickety and bulky metal one. The metal ones, as long as they are stationary, are fine long term. I would not want to put my dog in a soft crate all day long because (aside from being cruel) if a dog is active or is left too long, a soft crate would not be suitable. But this soft crate was the perfect size for our dog for 2-3 hours. Enough room for her pillow, her water & a pee pad folded in half. My dog rarely pees in her crate (We take her out a lot and run her around to dispel anxious energy) but in the event that she did have to pee, I wanted her to feel like she had a corner. Also, the multiple openings were convenient and easy to zip up and fold back with Velcro holders. Added pluses were: storage and carry case and roomy pockets for storing treats and toys. Folds up very nicely but still is plenty sturdy! A++ I would not recommend (for ANY soft crate), a hyper, over-active or larger dog with a penchant for chewing. The nice thing about this crate is the double zippered front closure and both zippers that go 3/4 around respectively. If u zipper both zippers in the upper position, a paw or nose will not be able to separate the zippers easily, allowing them to escape. As an example, my dog got a treat stuck in the cushion near the opening. By pushing her nose around, she was able to push her nose thru the zippers and open the front. Easily resolved by putting both zippers up top to the side and putting a twist tie thru the zippers holes tying them together. Obviously soft crates are not for chewers.

A++ I would not recommend (for ANY soft crate), a hyper, over-active or larger dog with a penchant for chewing. The nice thing about this is that sometimes if a pebble of food or dog treat gets stuck in a corner my dog will try to dig it out and if you don’t have the zippers in the correct position they could accidentally open the zipper with their paw. Easily enough resolved because the zippers start on one end and they go 3/4 of the way around the front opening, which made it easy to avoid that. Obviously soft crates are not for chores or obsessive dogs. This was for my Chihuahua and she is neither a chewer, nor is she large. Her initial whining was quelled and she settled quickly.. I left the TV on in hotel room to block out hallway noise and comfort her. When we return from doing a tourist attraction, she was excited to see us, but after her initial greeting, she felt comfortable enough to go back in to chill out while we got ready for bed. Since she sleeps with us at night, so trusts we always come back. So even when we do leave her for a few hours, this is the best crate for her to be! or obsessive dogs.

Very easy to assemble and disassemble. Roomier than it looks in the pictures and much lighter and portable than a wire cage. Helps with overnight trips or boarding with my sitter. Overall I am happy with the quality.

I ordered this crate/kennel for my 9 month old blue heeler he is just over 40 lbs. I trained him in a metal crate first, so the transition to this was so smooth. He does not try to get out of it or chew on it. He likes to sleep in there and goes in there without a fight when we tell him to. But I could see how it would be a problem if your dog is a chewer. It is of sturdy construction and I like the light color, but no cloth Crate will keep a determined chewer in. The pocket on top is nice for toys and the detachable one is nice to keep medical records in. It was easy to assemble. It is nice that the pad inside is reversible and you can take off the cover to wash it. The size is okay, I went from a larger metal crate down to this size and I think the width and length is just fine, It is just a little short; when my dog sits up he has to crouch a little bit. But we only close him in there when we leave for the day for a few hours so he is fine. In the future I plan to get the next size up, since he is still growing. I love the kennel in general. From the time I ordered it till the day I got it was about a week and a half, it came in great condition, no problems. Only wish it had a clip to secure the zippers together, but that is a cheep buy in itself. Overall great kennel if your dog is trained to be in a kennel and not chew. I probably wouldn't start out with any type of cloth kennel to begin with, start with a metal one then once they are used to the idea of a kennel get a cloth one; some dogs are not good candidates for the cloth ones though. We have another heeler who has bent the metal crate from trying to get out. The cloth one would not hold her in. The Frame is sturdy enough for everyday use, but not for a determined dog. The cloth ones are way easier to travel with and clean, so if your dog is fine in the kennel and does not chew or bang around in it this is a great choice! Great product for the price!

The quality seemed good, but unfortunately the chemical smell never went away, even after a few days. I had to return it in the end.

Well designed and made soft dog crate compared to cheaper options but very expensive

Easy set up and take down, shoulder strap and mat are included. I like that your 36” option is more spacious than others. Worked out great!

Thank you so much for being on top of this purchase. Seller contacted me as they saw a concern. Very proactive. They also followed up to ensure things went well. My dog loves the two houses you shipped so well. One for home and one for the office. Fantastic!

I'm really happy with this kennel. It's easy to assemble and disassemble. The materials appear to be high quality. I would purchase this again. This is in contrast to the amazon basics soft sided kennel that I also purchased. Spend the extra money!!
