I want a crate for a 45lb Wheaton Terrier to set up and collapse on daily basis easily (less then 2 minutes). Is this product right for me?

It's pretty easy to set up and tear down however, I think space will be an issue. I would go with the next size up.

It's a very big crate. I can fit my 80lb dog in it and me too (she crawled in while I was putting her bed in there, lol). It does fold up pretty easy, but the base is pretty big, so not sure how easy it would be to put in a car to travel. It is a little heavy, but not too much for me, a middle aged woman who isn't very strong. I love it! Really good quality and my dog loves it too!

The brand is great for easy set up. This model is too big for your Wheaton though. I believe they offer multiple sizes.

This is a great roomy crate for larger dogs. However, I don't think you would want to repeatedly set it up and I don't believe that it would/could be done in under two minutes.

I would say that it would be suitable if only for a short time. We use ours for our Polmerian who only is about 6 pounds and has plenty room.

It depends what your purpose is in getting this crate. I have an 9 lb Pomeranian and he is crated during the day while I work, and I have one that is rather large for him 22" wide by about 24" tall. I keep this crate set up all the time. I have smaller crates for him also, but this size works well because it is sturdy enough. It was quick to set up using zip ties, so have a pack of zip ties on hand.

I have this crate & also had a Golden many years ago, Kathy. It will not be big enough, using it for a much smaller dog. Good luck on finding one, it is a big decision.

It works fine for my ten-pound Coton; I think if your dog likes to turn around this box will be too small for him. It is best, in my opinion, for puppies or dogs up to 15 lbs.

Nope. This is perfect for you. I have a 40lb. Puppy and this does just great.

Yes this is a good crate for leaving your pup in. My german shepherd travelled from Alaska to PA in it and he was fine.

Patrick, the crate does collapse. It can be collapsed in less than 30 seconds.

Medium crate is fine for short periods. However since my ChiPoodle is left home alone while I work I actually have the one for large dogs. It works great she has plenty of room to stretch and play.

This is not a collapsible type crate; you would need to take it apart in order to "fold" it down for storage.

It's quite strong when assembled correctly. The sides would crack before they'd collapse. It's more of a hard resin instead of the "laundry basket" type of plastic that many crates are made of. That's why I bought this crate. I cannot imagine dogs escaping if it's assembled the right way. It's very sturdy and durable. I hosed mine out this morning since my dog is being spayed today and it was a breeze. Both ends are wire mesh so it's easy to do and dries quickly.

If you will go to the Carlson website and check out the video and specifications for this 3 in 1 crate I believe it will help you decide if this is what you want. I love this product and there is nothing on the market like it.

Depends how you define comfortable....what I mean is she probably won't be standing erect as others have mentioned but do crates really need to provide that? They are supposed to provide a safe haven as a den would do. I think it would still work for her as a secondary crate on a lower budget but wouldn't recommend long durations for her.

This is a lightweight, easy to assemble crate. You should not place it in the bed of a pick up truck as it could shift and/or fly away. It's easy to get out of the back seat because it is soft sided and will give if crammed against the seat when removing. I had 2 of these in the back seat of my Toyota Solara, and it was pretty easy to remove and pour back in the car. I bought mine 4 years ago, and they are still going strong.. I would recommend these roomy crates to anyone. If you are planning on using them for a dog, he may be able to chew the fabric. I would recommend for cats or small dogs.

This may be suitable for that size pet. The pet should be able to stand up and turn around comfortably inside the crate.

While it is flimsy it is not going to fall apart. I just do not believe it will last any where near as long as the ine I bought from a local pet supply. More of aa concern are the latches which are a pain to operate.an update is needed- This week I came home 2 times to the pup (35 Lb lab) that was in this crate running loose. Both our pups have escaped by pushing an end panel out of the clips. Our sturdier crate bought years ago from petsmart will not bend enough to allow tis. I now have the panels zip tied to prevent future escapes

Like theatre mom, I too purchased this (size 36) for a 40 lb puppy to use in a pet friendly hotel. The size I bought is much too big to be set up inside my car; perhaps in the back of an SUV. It would definitely hold two 10-lb dogs. I suggest you measure the vehicle space you have in order to pick the right size crate you want.

Aristea. I don't know what kind of dog it is, I would think the 36 inch crate would be big enough for a 40 lb. dog. If the dog is housetrained and you want him to have plenty of room to stretch out, get te bigger crate.
