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.

My dog is 11 Lbs I do not think your dog which is 40 lbs would not be able to use this bed for very long . hope this helps

You could probably do it. It works well for my two small dogs. There would probably be a bit of a gap where assuming you have baseboards or some kind of trim around the floor.

You can put your 20 pound dog in the carrier but for me the only problem is that the carrier is hard to push once the animal is in the carrier and it rubs on the wheels... I have a carrier, and to be honest with you I DONT like it.... My cat now just uses it as a bed to sleep in at night.... I have purchased other carriers that do work.... SORRY!!!!!

Yes, it can be moved-by 2 people-just bulky. One person could probably drag it.

Not to my knowledge! I no longer have mine as I went to a grooming table because this was a bit small for my little guy! Would it be possible to jam something into it to keep it from moving so much?Since I don't have mine now I can't try to see if that would work. I'm so sorry I couldn't be more help. My little guy is about 27 lbs. and doesn't fit on it anymore.

After discussing this questions with my husband, he believes the wheels are rubber. Possible? Could the manufacture be contacted? I also saw reviews saying the wt. limit is low and no English Cocker Spaniel could use this--my dog is 30 lbs small English Cocker Spaniel and was perfect for him, he can turn around in it, no sagging what so ever, very sturdy. We have used it several times and he loves it. We bought him on the ferry (using elevator to the top outer deck) and he fell asleep for the ride.

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.

Unfortunately it is difficult to transport. Not like a regular cage that folds down. I guess you could unscrew it and disassemble it. When we go out of town and my cousin watches our dogs for us, we just roll it out to our van and put the whole thing in. It does move easily it's just bulky. Aside from that it's great!!!

I have a 42lb collie/lab mix in it now. He lays down most of the time and can turn around and all, but I'm sure I could've gone bigger. I actually brought it for a Maltese who's really small, but it was way too big... unless you want it that big, but you could fit 4 little dogs in it no problem. I'm no expert so you may want to physically look at the size in a store. Hope I helped a bit.

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.

It is possible, but not comfortably. I did purchase this as it can be used for my cats, but I did purchase the next larger size of this as well and it is perfect for my 21 pound cat and 13 pound dog. It's well made and should last for years. It's on wheels which was important to me. Enjoy!

It probably weighs 20 pounds....No you can't carry it with a dog inside. The 36" one is big enough for a medium-big dog up to about 50 pounds...

My dog is a Maltese, so she was not able to move it around. I also connected it to her crate, but I had to use the divider that came with her crate to close the opening on the top because her crate was not that tall. It works great for me, just make sure you connect the crate with no openings. I left an opening one day and she got out and had the entire house to herself.

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

Yes, you can actually roll this bed up entirely and the good thing is it doesn't come on until pressure is applied - my dachshunds LOVE it. I almost returned it because of the delay in warming thinking it didn't work - now my mother uses it to keep her feet warm when she lies down as well.
