For a large active dog I will not drop him in from top but I do require top ventilation. Is there a soft crate with that?

As you can see from the picture, the top unzips, however, if you leave it open, your dog may try to escape--depending on your dog's size and temperament.

The Noz2Noz has four vents, front, back and side. The top can be zipped open, but a big dog will get out. It will also figure out how to get out if it can find a partially opened zipper. If you want total security buy a steel cage. My big dog loves her soft crate.

No. I have Gordon Setter who weighs 80 pounds. She is long and thin and can curl up like a cat. This is the perfect size for her. Also, the walls of this crate are thinner than other models. I think your dog could easily push its way out.

Yes, there is a plastic tray in the crate. It may remain there if you fold the crate to move it. I find the vertical opening door makes the crate much less obstructive in the house. I have two of them and our dogs like them very much.

I think you may want to get a more sturdy crate. I have a 20 lb dog so he is small and has lots of room. A 49 lb dog may be able to escape this one, especially if the dog is in the crate for an extended time.

You would have to ask the manufacturer. I have had no trouble with the crate to date.

I believe the medium may be ok for up to 20 lbs. If your pet is an escape artist, however, the shorter height of the medium crate could give your pet an edge of attempting to push the top out of it's snap configuration.

The top is attached by a circular zipper. Absolutely secure for a small dog, as long as your pet is not a chewer - it's a durable fabric, but still it's fabric. Our 12 pound dog absolutely loves it.

It might be tight if he stands up the whole time. My Dog lays down most of the time, but stands when she wants to gaze out the window. She is only about 18 inches at the shoulder and there is room to spare It's a very nice device to keep the dog safe, as well as keeping their fur contained while providing them a comfortable ride. Good Luck!

It's a great crate in terms of size. I own a 100lbs Akaskan Malamute and he can stand upright in this crate. It is however not very strong. My boy broke out on the first day. That said, I added zip ties to the all the connections and he has not escaped since. It was a good price and just adding some strong zip ties wasn't expensive.

I don't think this is intent of this crate, but I guess you could run the seat belt through the top strap and around the crate to secure it. It would definitely be better than not having the pet secure. It would be better it you were able to set in the back of an suv on a flat surface and then secure.

We have ours in a corner and put a large crate inside, so that gives it more stability and it doesn't move at all.

I returned this and have nothing positive to say for meeting my needs, which were different from yours. I also have large Labs (now nine months old), and got two of the Giant versions. The crates were very flimsy and I though they wouldn't keep the dogs in for 30 seconds, if that. The ones I was shipped would not be suitable for outside use. If you dog is small, it might work for inside. Good luck.

Midwest makes a crate with flaps to close off all sides. It has a removable wooden floor so is heavier. We use the 48 inch size at agility trials for our large dogs. The crate also has a holder for a water container.

Absolutely, my 48lb BC mix walks into it and sleeps in it at night by is choice. He easily got out of other crates I had that were in the $200 range. His brother is fine in the other type to a degree, he chewed all the plastic. The cage you are considering doesn't have anything for chewing. It's a great cage, I highly recommend this cage, price is high but worth it!

hi, it's a very big crate that would accomodate my newf, but she doesn't find it stable enough. she prefers the wire crates.

No not it this kind. I would recommend a wire crate. They can usually be broken down and lay flat. It allows for better air circulation when it's warm and you can always cover it to make it darker or warmer as needed. All the other crates I own are the wire with the plastic pan that can slide out of the bottom for ease of cleaning. Hope that helps.

Just confirming Julia's comment on a handle when folded up. FYI we bought the largest crate and the quality is excellent. I see the carrying handle on smallest size; if possible, check it out at a pet store or give them a call to ask about a carrying handle on that model. I went to a pet store to compare quality & ease of set up & earlier reviews of strong odor vs other crates. Highly recommended.
