Are you able to roll this with a dog in it? I'd like to move it from one room to another without removing a 40 lb injured dog.

The wheels are only on one end, not both, so I would say no because the dog would slide to the far end of the crate as soon as you pick up the handle to move the crate. Picture this more like a suitcase that you would pick up on one end and pull behind you.

Ps. If you have carpet, you can easily slide the crate from room to room. I do that all the time. :)

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.

It has wheels on one side only, so no, you can't roll it with a dog inside.

Yes but the bottom of it will not hold your dog. It will sag. Not comfortable for you dog. I had to rebuild the bottom so it would hold both of my dogs. Together they weigh 75 pounds. After making a new floor it worked great.

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.

It wouldn't be comfortable. Our dog weighs about 20lbs and has plenty of room to stand and turn around, but I think a bigger dog would be cramped.

Yes, it should be able to. I bought it for my Cavalier King Charles and it was huge for her when she was a puppy. She's almost 10 pounds now and it's perfect. So, it might be a bit of a tight fit, but in my experience, the dogs seem to like it tight so they can curl up and feel secure. Hope that helps.

I think you could. I have a 30 lb mini Australian Shepherd who rides in it every day and loves it.

The weight would not be a problem. The bottom is solid. Your dog's size would be the biggest consideration. We have 2 11lb dogs. One of them has good room to turn around. Both of them in there is cramped. A bigger dog, size wise, would be cramped, in my opinion. You might want to consider the large size

I tried to do that but it made it unstable with my 12 pound dog inside ...wobbly if she moved..top quality item tho

you might be able to but just - it was a lot smaller than it appeared and our dogs are way too big. For them its more like a drinking trough...Imagine an old-fashioned baby carriage, the part where you lay the baby down, and that is about how big it is

There's definitely potential for rolling up and moving. I have the king size and two people can roll it up, but it would require a significant amount of closet space for storing.

You could but nothing to really anchor it too. It wouldn't be as steep a grade though so it might not need an anchor....depends on how heavy the dog is i guess.

It moves pretty easily on a wood floor. It you have carpet you might want to contact the company to see if you can change out the "feet" for rollers.

I'm sure you could, but my girls haven't tried it. Now the dog had taken one outside & the leg came off. I was worried it wasn't going to go back on but it did.

Yes, probably. I have two dogs--77 pounds and 60 pounds and there's room left over. It really is a good product--have one in each of two rooms and both dogs love them.

I feel it would be a squeeze. My dog is #7. He has some rm to move around in and I can put other items in there with him also. Both in it would not be a good idea. Hope this helps. Otherwise I love it.

First of all, I think that the smaller size carriers are too small for a 40-lb dog. Maybe the larger-sized carrier (Med or Large) would have the internal room needed. Then there is the question of structure. The smaller carrier has a metal tubular framework that seems strong enough to carry a larger dog. However, the floor of the carrier is nothing more than the canvas stretched over the metal framework. It may be adequate, but to me it seems that the concentrated weight of a 40-lb dog would stretch and maybe deform the canvas floor. I have also used the larger sized carrier (not sure if it is M or L) to carry two cats. It has the same canvas floor as the smaller ones, but there are two nylon straps sewn across the flooring fabric to reinforce the bottom. The total weight of the two cats is somewhere near 20 pounds and the floor was perfect. I'm guessing the larger carriers have sufficiently reinforced floors to carry whatever the recommended weight load is for that carrier. Okay, so a larger carrier is probably good from a structural point. The problem I had carrying two cats is that even though the 20 or so pounds isn't much, the length/width/depth of the carrier, made it awkward for one person to carry it. I did, but I am 6 feet and 200 pounds - still it was sort of clumsy to carry either by the hand straps or the shoulder straps. The smaller gals at the vet clinic could not effectively carry the carrier with the two cats. If there were two of them (one on each hand strap), they managed well enough. Remember now, this was 20-something pounds and not 40 pounds. Moving your 40-pound dog will most likely require one person on each side of the carrier or you doing it alone, hunched over with the shoulder strap while you schlep your feet along.

It can be moved with two people. However, if it is inside the house it won't fit through an average door without taking it apart.
