Finally! A crate that fits my dog! ...But your UPS deliverer will hate you.
This is a huge crate and just wait til you see the box it arrives in! If your kids (or you) like to play with boxes, this is the holy grail!
In all seriousness, it was nice to find a crate that could finally fit my 120lb puppy. Sure, he could cram into smaller crates, but because he has hip dysplasia it was becoming more difficult and more painful for him to scrunch up in them. He can now stand, turn around, stretch out a bit and just be comfortable like he deserves.
* Worth the price you ask?
In my opinion, and especially in my situation, yes.
* Other info?
This is the third Midwest crate I have purchased and they have all held up well. The other two (smaller ones) are still in action. One used for another dog and the other for a bunny. They've held up well, so I expect nothing less from this giant crate.
* Cons?
- It is more flimsy than their smaller crates - but still plenty solid. When fully built it does sway just a bit, but up against the wall and with a blanket on top it is fine. You could also tighten it up with some zip ties if needed. (Midwest, if you're reading this, a handy feature you could include are some velcro ties to tighten things up a bit - but still leave it portable. Let's be honest though, no one is really gonna port this thing around.)
* Considerations?
- You do need a good chunk of space for this thing, but that's gonna happen with any big crate.
- The box is hard to dispose of (really, I'm not kidding.)
- It is heavy and not easy to move. If you catch the UPS person maybe they can help you move it where you want?
