EliteField 3-Door Folding Soft Dog Crate 36in - Spacious, Portable Pet

Our review of the EliteField 3-Door Folding Soft Dog Crate finds it best suited for dog owners who need a lightweight, portable indoor/outdoor home with extra room. The single biggest reason to consider this crate is the roomy interior - at 36in long by 24in wide and 28in high it gives more headroom and width than many competing 36in soft crates, making it a better option for growing dogs or breeds that need extra space. Setup is tool-free and fast, and the included fleece bed and carrying bag make it ready for travel.

Key Features

• Extra interior space: The 36in x 24in x 28in footprint provides noticeably more width and height than typical 36in soft crates, allowing dogs to stand and turn comfortably.
• Three access points: Top, front and side mesh doors give flexible access and improved ventilation while the front and side zippers lock for security.
• Durable construction: A sturdy steel tubing frame combined with 600D fabric and hex mesh offers a lightweight yet stable enclosure for travel and home use.
• Portable and packable: The crate folds to just 3in thick, includes a carrying bag with padded shoulder strap and hand straps, and has its own handles for easy transport.
• Washable comfort: The removable crate cover and fleece bed are machine-washable for easier cleanup after outdoor trips or regular use.
• Accessory storage: Two pockets on the top and back keep leashes, treats or paperwork handy during travel or at home.

Who It's For

This crate is ideal for owners who travel frequently by car or camp and need a lightweight, easy-to-fold soft crate that still feels roomy for medium to large dogs. The added height and width make it a logical choice for breeds that are taller or that need extra space to move around.

Owners who expect heavy chewers or extremely destructive behavior should look at metal or heavy-duty wire options instead, as soft-sided crates rely on fabric and mesh. Also, those needing a crate for permanent outdoor exposure in severe weather may prefer a fully weatherproof hard-sided unit.
