My plan is to use this everyday instead of a crate when I am at work. My dog is 7 month old Morkie. Will this be safe enough?

I have used this for my 8 lbs pomeranian when she was less than a year old, and she has honestly found all ways to jump out from it. It was amazing how she managed to do all that! It will work if you zip the pawhut all the way both top and bottom because this is a very light tent. When I didn't zip the bottom, she managed to lift the whole thing and get out from it, and when i didn't zip the top she was able to jump out from it... If your yorkie is well behaved and really tiny, there is a possibility this will work... Mine was not trained and always bored at that time!

I have two labs, one is two years old and and about 100lbs and my other one is expected to be larger than him. They are crated while we are at work. Both of them LOVE their kennels! Most times it is difficult to get them out! I would say yes you will be perfectly fine!

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.

In my opinion no, it's never too late. The crate is a great tool to help keep the dog confined when you are not at home, and also give them a little reassurance if when you are not home if they are a bit insecure. You always want to keep the crate a positive place, and make sure she has some toys or bones in there to chew on (something that she won't get into trouble with). And don't start with all day, but an hour or two, and make sure you let her out for potty breaks. She's a bit older so she shouldn't need as many breaks as a younger dog might, but it would be good to start with every 2 hours or so in the beginning. My border collie is 10 months old and she was in a crate for the first few months of her life, so much so that she started to not like it and I had trouble getting her in. Now we have gone back and made it a positive experience for her, and she's happy to sit in there while I'm not home for a few hours with a bone to chew on.

We have a 75 lb Setter, but I believe it's reliable depending on the harness you use. We purchased the thickest harness. Sorry I don't have the packaging to see if there's a recommended weightLimit. I think it's also important you keep the length short so there is little slack for your dog to move around too much. We tried it with out 8 mo puppy and it was not a good solution, even with a harness that fit her. She chewed on the other seatbelts and anything else within her reach, so car/crate only for her.

This is a soft crate. It does not provide the same protection in a vehicle that a rigid metal crate that is bolted down would offer. If you goal is to keep your dog from wandering around in a van, it should be fine as it has a metal frame holding up the canvas and it is stable. I have used it at many dog shows and it is great. If you are looking for accident protection for your dog though, either a rigid crate bolted down or a car seat harness might be best.

Your cockerpoo would fit fine, however your pet may have limited movement. Of coarse that depends on your pets length. I have and 7 lb Yorkie and a 14 lb Dashshon they both get in and play in their crate together and nap. But I have one for each of them when we travel. As they would have limited movements in one. Really nice crate for the money, Give it a try...

In my opinion it is safe. I like to line it with blankets for more comfort on longer rides. It has a short leash that can attach to their harness. This allows you to keep the top "window" open without the dog getting out. I had to adjust the length of it for my dog. I hope this was helpful.

I probably never have my dog in a crate for that long, but from my exposure to the mat I would said it will not stay cold that long and it might well keep some of your dogs heat and pass it back to him. I am just not sure about that. Sorry!

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

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.

Hi,I accidentally put my dog in the crate overnight with it on. It does not present any more of a choking hazard in my opinion than it would if the dog was wearing any other type of color. It's just slightly bigger than that in general. I will say that it's extremely effective, very humane, and does the job beautifully.

i used it for a less than 10 lbs puppy. he is now about 12 lbs and he would still fit into it. i am not in the same location as the crate to measure for you. sorry.

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.

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.

This crate is NOT puppy proof. If you want to crate train I would start with a metal crate until they are completely and 100% comfortable then you can move to a soft sided crate. My dog has a metal crate at home I only use the dogit for agility practice and competitions.

We have two crates, both for small dogs. It would be too small for anything larger than a medium sized dog (a Cocker Spaniel).
