Guardian Gear Collapsible Dog Crate

I have a Belgian Malanois/ dutch shepherd K9 and I had to take him to NOLA last week and this thing was amazing! key word there is WAS... This product says that it has a lifetime guarantee but when I contact anyone no one can find a way to cash in on that guarantee. No one can even find the company that this thing was made from. this is a great crate and I would like a new one for my k9 but I think that the lifetime guarantee should be honored by someone

I bought this crate because I have a 100+ pound German Shepard who I cannot take to the kennel. We therefore have to find hotels that will take him. We have an XL dog crate at the house, but of course that cannot be broken down and put into the car easily. This portable crate is great!! It is easy to put up and to take down. I will say that if you have a dog that is not used to being crated, this may cause a problem. With his razor sharp teeth, my dog could chew this up, but then he crushes bones. But, he actually loves it and will go into it on his own and lay down. We are able to leave him in it for periods of time in the hotel room while we go site seeing, to dinner or just out for awhile. I recommend it without hesitation.

I have had to clean this for mold, it seems terribly flimsy, and it's WAY too big for my full sized Australian Shepherd.I saw numerous "Guardian Gear" soft crates at agility trials in the past and thought they looked good. When it was time to buy a "travel / trial" crate, I thought I'd give this a try. Whether they changed their design or I just didn't investigate well enough, this crate really didn't live up to what I thought it would be.Look at something with more support and check the sizing closely. Even if it takes an extra 30 seconds to set up, that could be time well spent!

Compared to similar products this is more than 2x as heavy and is not as stable. Most crates like this use removable poles. This crate uses no poles and just relies on wire and zippers to stay up. On other crates I set lighter objects on top while in use- small purse, towel, a couple of leashes. Overall ventilation is one of the best on today's market, but is still poor compared to other soft collapsible crates I have on hand. Can't be transported without the 2 pound carry bag. Unnecessary features. If I keep this as a not-favored backup to my better crates, I will cut off the pockets and side flaps to reduce weight. UPDATE- in addition, this crate failed after moderate use. The wire rim material broke in just one spot- and now is even more unstable.

Our chocolate lab/pitbull “Mr. Pickles” absolutely loves this dog crate! It’s a lot more comfortable than his metal one (we put a blanket down to cushion it a little but it wasn’t much). Even when we leave the zipper open, Pickles typically prefers the crate to the couch, and that says something! It’s incredibly easy to fold up to store or take for trips, it’s also equally as easy to assemble it. Heck, my three year old helps me zip it up! Sturdiness is pretty good, it’s flexible so it’s not going to hold a pile of books on top but we do put dog toys on top for safe keeping and the top portion doesn’t bend or have any give with them. Will definitely buy another for our puppy when he’s a bit older and past his chewing phase!

Finally someone was thinking about the 'larger boned' breeds.We have a Great Dane and we like to take her everywhere we travel. The downside of such a venture has been the need to take a large crate everywhere we went. If we didn't take a crate she would love to sleep right in the middle of the bed and nobody would get any sleep other than her.This crate is perfect, exactly what we need to give her somewhere to sleep in the evenings. We are over the moon that we found it and it was put together well. Moxie on the other hand isn't so happy as she'd rather be sleeping on the bed.Would recommend for anyone with a big breed who likes to take them traveling.

My dog I so very particular about going into small areas or having anything over his head. I had to secure it tothe ground by placing a heavy/comfy bed in it and lined it with a heavy duty yoga mat to prevent my dog from slipping on the hardwood floor when he gets out ofit and my greyhound he loves it!

This travel crate is great. Although it smelt of plastic when we first received it, the smell has subsided. The ventilation is great and I also appreciate that the side vents can be closed to provide a more cozy/comfortable atmosphere. Our puppy absolutely loved this product and didn't have any hesitation spending the night in the travel crate his first time on the road. We have a Neapolitan Mastiff and this crate is more than accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product to anyone with a large breed dog.

And so do I. I bought it originally for traveling, but he loves being in it, so we are using it in the house for his "place" to be when he wants to be by himself. Easy to use, easy to fold up and bring with us. This was a really great buy. If you have a really big dog, XL is huge!

What a deal! Amazing crate ! I have this same crate and when I saw it at this price I had to order another one. Great and resistant fabric. I often put my two aussies inside at dog shows.

Had to return item item! Not sturdy what so ever for very large breeds!!! Have bull mastiff and he turned, it turned, when he moved, it moved. Just made with material and held together by the zippers!!!!!!! Was not happy with product. Also haven’t received return and when you track your return it shows nothing!🤬🤬🤬👎

Take it down in 30 secondsBuck up almost as fast.My puppy Golden doodle had only ripped one little square in 2 months. Great investment

Extremely disappointed Zipper doesn’t work
