Would this be big enough to use as a crate for a 10lb yorkie? (if it were expanded to full size). 4 hours at a time or overnight.

I travel with cats - Siamese breeds. The adults are accustomed to travel & the expanded carrier would allow room for a small litter box. Do not know if a dog would tolerate this. Maybe if in car where it can see & talk to you. Would never leave my cat overnight in something so small unless ER.

No, the dog would not be able to stand up, turn around, or stretch it's legs. These are three elements necessary for any animals. I would suggest you measure the height (X2) and length (X2) of your pet and get a crate based on those measurements.

Yes. My daughter carriers her 2 multipoos together. One is 4 lbs. and the other is 8 lbs.

I have a 12 pound pug/Brussels griffon mix in this size (medium) crate for short periods of time. If we leave the house for more than 2 hours, he goes in the next size bigger. They say a dog needs to be able to stand up and turn around in a crate. I like it to be a little larger than that, though. At 4 lbs, your dog will fit fine in this size.

My dog is about 15 lbs. and he has plenty of room. He naps in it quite a bit during the day, and doesn't seem to mind going in when I leave the house. The crate is very sturdy, and easy to fold down, plus the color is nice.

unfortunately, I don't think it would be to comfortable for either of you. My dog is only 8# and it is roomy enough when zipped up and even better unzipped, so keeping him in there for any length of time is no different than in his airline carrier, but adding another 10# I think might be pushing it, especially for any length of time. I'm all about comfort. Hope This Helps

It never said on the box or on the slip that went inside but I think more importantly, the question should be, can your pet stand up completely, turn around, and lay down comfortably with still some room to spare. While your dog is asleep measure the room around him and add a few inches then see which crate matches best.

I have a yorkie who is about 7.5 pounds and she loves it. It has a little pad for the bottom, but I put her favorite toy and a small "blankie" inside for her. She goes in and out of it during the day and about 10:00 every night, she puts herself to bed. I use it as a carrier when we go out, but she seems to consider it her "house"

Depends. If they are in there to sleep and play there is enough time, but if you would like to include the food bowls and water, might be tight. I have a three pound Yorkie and I make it her home away from home apartment when we are out of town (with bedding, toys, food, water). All in all I really love how transportable it is.

I can't answer whether it is big enough but the Midwest iCrate I bought for my Bichon is very sturdy and very well made. I would definetly recommend this crate.

I bought it for my yorkie who is 3 pounds and just put a blanket in it. Otherwise he couldn't see out. I've used mine numerous times and works well. If you are putting 2 smaller yorkies in it I still think you will need something. It seems pretty sturdy but haven't tried it with more than 3 pound and not too sure it's safe for two dogs.

I bought it for my miniature dachshound , she is about 9lbs and has more than enough room to stretch out! I probably could have went smaller but wanted her to have plenty of room since she is crated for 9 hrs a day. Cage is well made too :-)

I would definitely think so. I bought this for my pug puppy (who is roughly similar size to a Cairn) for the exact same reason as you and it has been absolutely perfect-- much larger than her crate and enough room for a bed, food and water bowl, wee wee pads and room to walk around/play. I usually line the bottom with wee wee pads. This comes up to about my waist when I'm standing, maybe a little higher. My dog is a big biter/scratcher, but she hasn't been able to claw her way out of this. This has been incredibly helpful while we are at work, and she really likes it. Best part is it is easy to set up and folds completely flat for travel/storage. I would recommend it. I would definitely think so.

I would order a smaller size. Even if the bed rolled up on the sides of your crate I don't think it would lay right. The bed is thick doesn't really have much give to it. Great bed though!!!!

I wish I could help you there, but I have a 3 lb Yorkie :-) When I searched for the crate, I typed in "small dog crate". Maybe, try the opposite for your search. Wish I could be of more help! Good luck!

It is very light weight and your 4 pound Yorkey will love the room to stretch out in. Our currently is in storage but it is easy to use and can be lifted into the back of our Escape without any difficulty. It has served us well in the past.

I don't think the 4 panel is large enough. One of my puppies is a jumper so I had to make a 4 panel one and use one panel on top to stop her from getting out. There is barely space for her bed and a couple of chew toys. You would need a bigger one to fir the wee wee pad and the crate.

Greetings! My that is a big dog. We don't have a crate that big at the moment. We make an XXL that is 109cm L x 68cm W x 86cm H but that would most likely not be tall enough to allow your dog sit straight. Here is a link to the crate - http://www.icc-case.com/impact-case-dog-crate-stationary-xx-large/

The bed is pretty big! Not sure how big your crate is, but the bed would not fit in the large one we had...plus, how would the dog get in and out of it in the crate?
