iCrate Single & Double Door Dog Crate - Secure, Portable XS Crate

In this review of the iCrate double-door dog crate, the bottom line is simple: it is a compact, well-built crate for extra small dogs up to 12 pounds that prioritizes safety and easy cleaning. The crate's newly enhanced slide-bolt latch with patented Paw Block and locking tips stands out as the single biggest reason to buy, offering added security and peace of mind. For owners who need a portable, tool-free setup with a leak-proof pan and divider for growing pups, this crate delivers practical features without unnecessary complexity.

Key Features

• Enhanced security: The slide-bolt latch now includes a patented Paw Block and locking tips to reduce accidental openings and keep pets secure.
• Double-door design: Two large door openings with low thresholds make entry and exit easier and offer flexible placement in a room.
• Leak-proof pan: The durable plastic pan is removable and washable, simplifying cleanup for potty training or accidents.
• Divider panel included: The divider lets owners adjust the usable space as a puppy grows, extending the crate's useful life.
• Portable and tool-free: The crate folds flat for travel and sets up in seconds with no tools required, helping with short trips or temporary placement.
• Protective feet and rounded corners: Rubber feet protect floors and rounded corner clips reduce sharp edges for a safer crate environment.

Who It's For

The iCrate is best for owners of extra small dog breeds or young puppies with an adult weight up to 12 pounds who want a secure, easy-to-clean crate that travels and stores easily. It suits people who value safety features like the Paw Block latch and a removable pan for potty training.

Those who need a larger, heavy-duty crate for medium or large dogs, or a model with thicker bars for heavy chewers, should look at larger sizes or different construction. If a permanent, heavy metal kennel is required for prolonged unsupervised containment, choose a sturdier size up.
