Intermediate LifeStages Double Door 36-In Dog Crate - Secure, Foldable

In this review of the Intermediate LifeStages double door dog crate, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, secure option for medium to large dogs that need a sturdy, portable home. Sized for dogs roughly 41-70 lbs and measuring 37.38 x 25.5 x 26.38 in, this crate stands out for its enhanced security features and all-inclusive accessories that make setup and upkeep straightforward. The reviewer found it especially useful for owners who value a durable crate with easy assembly, a divider for growth, and protections like a leak-proof pan and rubber feet.

Key Features

• Intermediate sizing: The crate measures 37.38 x 25.5 x 26.38 in, providing a roomy den for medium to large breeds up to about 70 lbs.
• Enhanced security: Slide-bolt latches include locking tips and a patented Paw Block to reduce the chance of accidental or intentional escapes.
• All-inclusive accessories: Includes a divider panel, leak-proof plastic pan, rubber floor-protecting feet, and a carrying handle for convenient use right out of the box.
• Quick setup and portability: Assembles in seconds with no tools and folds flat with a handle for easy travel or storage.
• Comfort and safety focused: Rounded corners, proper ventilation, and low door thresholds create a secure, den-like space for resting pets.

Who It's For

This crate is best for owners of medium to large dogs who want a versatile, durable option that adapts as a dog grows; the included divider panel makes it a good choice for puppy-to-adult transitions. It also fits households that need a crate that is easy to clean and move, thanks to the leak-proof pan, rubber feet, and carrying handle.

Owners of dogs consistently above the upper suggested weight range or dogs who require extra interior space for long periods should consider sizing up for added comfort. If you need a heavy-duty escape-proof solution for determined chewers, investigate steel-plate or welded options designed for heavy-duty confinement.
