I have a injured dog who must be kept restricted but hates crates. This might "feel" better? Can this be used inside & be stable. My dog is 60 pounds.

I use this crate for my 15yr old 50 pound dog. She's not that active and it confines her well. The materials are very sturdy and each panel is hinged allowing flexibility with the shape to fit just about any area, and you can remove or add panels to suit size. Since it does not "anchor" to the floor, it does not confine a pet as securely as a crate with floor and roof. An active dog can push the panels around, but if the dog is not likely to push-on or attempt to jump over, it should work well. I give this product high marks for quality and construction.

No, it would not work. I bought it for my lab puppy . She was 10 weeks and find a way to climb out of it and from under it.

Its stable for a small dog. A larger dog may be able to move it around. I have a 10 pound pup and if I dont secure it to the ground he can move it across the floor. I do like it though very much. I can make the pen as big or as small as I need. You may also need to consider the door. Is your dog is taller than the heighth?

This is more sturdy than it looks. I would think if used as pictured (8 section) here for a 60" dog it would be roomy enough. Used as a 4 section would NOT be large enough. Keep in mind the sections height and your dog's jumping ability, because I have had dogs jump out of this. I use this for 8wk - 4mo old foster pups and some of the larger pups have escaped.

Honestly, I would say no. My dog is a Yorke, 12 lbs. His bed fits perfect and he has just enough room to turn around. I know the crates Can be very pricey, I was lucky to find this one at a great price. My suggestion to you, go on graigslist, remember the asking price can always be brought down. Hope that helped. .

I would not confine any animal in a crate for a week. Possibly you are not clear on your questionnaire.

This steel crate is well made but it only has two wheels--intended for use when the crate is folded down, like rolling luggage you would use at an airport. Your option for you injured dog is a crate with four wheels OR use this unit with a pet crate trolley. Amazon carries both. Search Pet Crate Four Wheels and/or Pet Crate Trolley. The trolley would fit temporarily beneath this unit so you could pull it around the house as needed. It wouldn't operate as smoothly as a crate with four wheels built in, but with a trolley you would have more crate flexibility after your dog has recovered. Hope your dog is feeling better soon.

Yes for the LARGE size - our border collie x cattle dog and our pit bull (both 22 inches at the shoulder) use it (sometimes sleeping in it curled up together) but it is light weight and soft - this is NOT intended for keep-the-dog-in-the-crate-at-all-costs situations but ones where the dog is willing to be there. We use it - with the door open - for the dogs to sleep in at night (their choice) and when we go to agility trials and someone will be sitting alongside the crate - saves taking the metal crate and a cover. We also use it in the back of the SUV on long trips again, more of a 'safe spot' the dogs are familiar with than to keep them locked in.

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.

It will hold a 60 lb GS easily. It would be much more comfortable for him/her than a crate because they can stretch their legs and have access to water etc. It is not big enough to use as an "exercise pen". We use them in the house on ceramic tile flooring and they do move around a lot but do not tip over. I have not noticed any damage to the tiles. Do not leave your dog unattended in this kennel, however, because he will be able to open the gate unless you add a lock of some kind.

It's very easy to move around yet quite stable & sturdy. i keep it in my living room for my paralyzed Corgi. She has lots of room and airspace compared to a crate. Love it!

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.

I suppose it could but most likely the dog would slip on the surface. I've never personally stood on the crate and would likely place a board or nonstick surface on top of the crate. I would also contact the manufacturer to see if the roof can support the weight.

I would imagine it would be but depending on how tall he is. I have a 35 lb collie mix and he has pleanty of room. I purchased this one beacuse he is an escape artist. I went through about 4-5 different crates before this one and has yet to get to escape!

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.

I have a 40 pound dog who doesn't mind his crate and it works fine for him. We've never had any problems with it after about a month. I think it's sturdy enough for a dog who doesn't try to get out.

It is plenty big on the inside. We have a 32lb brittany and she has more than enough room. Friends of ours bought the same crate for their weimeraner and he can stretch out nicely. Not sure if the height will be suitable for you, but the lid IS removable.

We use the crate when camping and hunting. We have an 85lb Lab who could go straight through the screen if he wanted to, small clips would secure the 2 zippers together are you trying to keep something out? Or something in the crate. it's not designed as a secure carrier merely a place for comfortable secure rest.... It works well for what it was designed for...

This worked great for me because I put it together with another crate to make it larger; however, I used mine for a cat. If your dog is docile and doesn't tear up everything in sight, it would probably work. Good luck!

I bought one for my 60 lb. dog and she has no problem getting up and down. It has carpet on it so that they can keep their grip. I love mine!
