THIS CRATE IS NOT SAFE!
I bought the 42-inch version of this crate mainly for the price and the included divider, but also because the product description assured me that it had "rounded corners". In other words, because I thought it would be safe for my lab puppy while allowing her to grow. Apparently "corners" only means corners. The ends of the crate's wires are not rounded. Recently my puppy cut her nose while in the crate. After a thorough inspection of the crate, I figured out why. The hinges on the two doors are made by folding the door's horizontal wires over the vertical wire at the crate's door opening. The ends of these horizontal wires have not been rounded or filed down, and these sharp end-points are inside the crate and can easily cut a dog's nose or paw -- especially on the crate's end door where the wires have only been folded over 180 degrees. In addition, a dog could catch her collar on one of these wires and choke (yes, I know, I know -- the instructions say not to put a dog in the crate with her collar on. But how many people read or heed that?) I guess you get what you pay for, but Amazon really should stop selling this crate until the problem is fixed (or state CLEARLY in the product description that there are sharp edges inside the crate. In the meantime I'm off to the pet store to find a SAFE crate. I don't know whether it's worth the hassle to try to return the one I have.
