Soft Dog Crate 36 in with Adjustable Stainless Steel Frame - Travel

In this review of the 36 in soft dog crate, the bottom line is simple: this is a travel-friendly, lightweight kennel best for owners who need a durable, portable shelter for medium dogs. The reviewer found the patented adjustable support rods to be the standout feature, because they make setup quick and keep the canopy taut without the instability of button or clip mechanisms. That single improvement plus the robust 600D Oxford fabric make this crate a sensible choice for road trips, camping, or home use where a collapsible but sturdy option is needed.

Key Features

• Patented adjustable support rods: Rotating rods during setup creates a taut canopy that prevents sudden collapse and reduces stress on the fabric for safer use.
• 600D Oxford fabric cover: Heavy-duty material resists wear and is easy to wipe clean so the crate stays hygienic after frequent travel.
• Three-door access: Front, side, and top doors give flexible entry and loading options, with front and side doors that roll up and secure with Velcro.
• Dual folding options: Two collapse methods and a built-in handle make the kennel simple to carry and store for trips or seasonal storage.
• Mesh ventilation on three sides: Large mesh windows provide airflow and visibility so dogs remain comfortable and can see their surroundings.
• Convenient storage pocket: A pocket for treats or small items keeps essentials organized when traveling with the crate.

Who It's For

This soft crate is ideal for owners of medium dogs up to around 40 lb who want a lightweight, portable kennel for travel, camping, or occasional home use. The taut canopy and sturdy frame appeal to those who have experienced flimsy pop-up crates and want a more reliable setup without the weight of a metal cage.

Owners who need a permanent, heavy-duty indoor crate or those with very large or very strong chewers should look elsewhere; the fabric design and folding frame are optimized for portability rather than full-time separation for powerful escape artists.
