38 in Heavy Duty Dog Crate for Medium/Small Dogs - Durable Indoor

Our review of the Lauren&Harold 38 in heavy duty dog crate finds it best suited for medium and small dogs whose owners want a secure, washable indoor kennel with easy access. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of sturdy, laser-welded steel construction and practical access options: a front door with a small feed door plus a top door with a skylight that both reduce anxiety and make interaction simple. It is a thoughtful choice for crate training or home containment when cleaning and mobility matter.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty construction: Laser-welded, corrosion-resistant steel frame increases durability and reduces the risk of bending compared with fine wire crates.
• Dual access doors: A front door with a small feeding hatch and a top door with a skylight let owners reach in or calm a pet without full-door opening.
• Anti-chew reinforcement: Added cross bars on the front right door, both sides, and back help deter chewing and increase security for small dogs.
• Easy to clean: Two removable plastic trays and two metal floor grates slide out for fast cleaning and help keep bedding and floors cleaner.
• Mobility and stability: Four 360-degree rolling casters make relocation simple, with two lockable wheels to hold the crate in place when needed.
• Removable components: The top and front doors are removable for flexible placement or when crate use evolves during training.

Who It's For

This crate is ideal for owners of medium and small breeds who need a robust indoor kennel that is easy to clean and move around the house. It works well for crate training, short-term containment, and pets that respond positively to human interaction through a top skylight or feed hatch.

Owners of very large or highly aggressive chewers should look elsewhere, as the manufacturer cautions that overly aggressive or oversized breeds may still be able to chew through the bars. Also, anyone who relies on the crate for extended unsupervised confinement of a dog with severe separation anxiety should consider alternative heavy-duty solutions.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Not recommended for very large or extremely aggressive chewers who may be able to escape.
• Active dogs may require additional securing of the wire bottom to prevent sliding.
