My 50 lb Belg Malinois needs all sides to only have the smaller holes. Midwest has made large "escape" holes on the bottom. Is this crate the same?

I have a pitbull/lab in mine and she has not escaped, where she has in other crates. We did use a chain and hook on the doors to be on the safe side, but so far (1 year) she has not escaped. Worked great for us.

The slates are approx. 2×10. I don't see any escape holes in the bottom. We have a dutch Shepard that is not able to escape the cage portion but has figured out how to open the lock. So we just reinforced it and so far no problems. Hope this answers your question.

Yes but an easy fix is to put a thick piece of plywood in the bottom which cans be dropped in since the top opens. My dog is an escape artist so we chain the gate with td top as she can open all the locks

No, there is a grate on the bottom and the pan underneath slides out but this has been the only crate that has survived my 85 lb escape artist.

I'm not sure what you mean about escape holes. Do you mean the space at the bottom of the kennel? My neapolitan mastiff escaped out of this kennel in 20 minutes. He eventually tore the bars out.

No small holes but the latches on the front and top are a joke. If your dog is determined they will pop the latches with no problem. We have to chain and padlock the front and top and so far this has kept our escape artist in place.

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.

Yes, if you have the correct 42 in cover. There are velco tabs on each corner. You can raise or lower each side as needed. You will be glad that you bought a cover. By having the side door open, I use the crate as a lamp table. The dog can sit in her crate, be out of the way and feel part of the family. Very nice.

I don't have a small crate. Mine is large and door is on the side. It's entirely possible the small crate would have the second door on top. Maybe someone who has a small crate can answer.

Yes, I removed grate and sides. Bottom solid. I have 6lb Pomeranian female. Use litter box type with male. Taught her "in the box" and "out of the box" like a circus dog, because she was afraid at first. Went to confined area with bed, box and food so she would have no choice. NOW everything is perfect. I fold the pad smaller so she is not one leg in and the other out lazy, LOL.

No my puppy was a minpin and chewed up the handle and chewed on the wire trying to get out.We used it for about 4 weeks then bought a hard sided kennel

Yes. The sides are attached with velcro strips, so you can leave whichever side open. I just fold the flap up to the top of the crate and it stays pretty well. Hope this helps.

Depending if it has air vents in the back if not you will need to drill some. For a large or extra large crate, a series of 1 inch holes with a wood drill bit can be used.

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

The entry and exit holes are adjustable....but we use just the regular size kibble we buy at Costco. Our Great Pyrenees pup just loves this and it does keep him busy for awhile.

Hi Jeff,Yes this crate will easily accommodate both dogs. Crates are not really intended to replace a pin or other enclosure where the dogs can have a bit of room to move about. The crate is intended more to be a place of safety for resting and does restrict movement to some degree. In class even larger dogs fit in the crate since they were used for periods of rest more so than confinement. With all of that said, your dogs will have some space to move about and space to stretch out and rest. I think you will be pleased with this crate as a portable option.

So far I have been very happy with this crate and have not found it to be noisy. I am involved with dog agility and the crate basically stays in the back of my Tahoe. I have another by Petmate, and the Midwest is heavier and more sturdy. I would buy another Midwest.

I sent this back it was too cheaply made. The Dog Crate cover for Midwest iCrate are much more durable & very well made. They are made of canvas material & cover all four sides of the crate. The front & back flaps of this cover can be unzipped on both sides & rolled up & stay in place with velcro keepers...super nice crate cover!

Depending on the size of the dog, I suppose it's possible. We leave a blanket in the corner for ours to sleep on so it doesn't seem to bother her. I will say that the spot welds recently popped on the floor of the crate so the corner sags. I rigged it with a zip tie (don't judge) because i worried about her foot slipping and getting pinched. we are back to good with that modification. It's not a perfect crate, but doe the money, I won't complain. My only perfect crate was a custom built $600 crate for my husky years ago.

Sorry to take so long to answer. I bought the divider with hopes of using it in the other type of big cage I have but it didn't fit--too big. Think I'lll probably buby the whole midwest guinea habitat at some point--because I like how wide it is and that it's adjustable (can add on other cages) . I do hesitate because it has that flimsy canvas bottom and not a vinyl tray-like bottom which I find easy to use. I saw one being used at my local pet shop and it was great except for that canvas bottom. Any one else's experiences would be appreciated...though by this writing, they probably stopped making them (ha ha) Sorry to take so long to answer.

The bottom is made of the same material as the whole crate. I don't know if they sell crate pads separately for this particular crate. I picked up one at a dog show that fit pretty good. Hope this helps.

Yes there is a grating below the pan. I would by a liner sold on Amazon as well or use a towel on the plastic. This crate is much too small for a 55 lb lab. I use it for a 10 lb dog. I would get a bigger size.
