Dog Crate, medium, dual access

££CratesWire crate

This folding wire crate is built from solid steel, with dual access doors and a slide out tray. Best for house-training and safe downtime and giving a dog a den of their own.

Why we picked it

Cardys build this one from solid steel with an anti rust black powder coating, so it sits steady when a dog turns round at night. Two doors give you access from either side, and the tray slides out for cleaning without lifting the crate or the dog. A plastic handle makes it easy to carry once folded.
