30" iCrate Double Door Kit

MidWest Homes for Pets' iCrate Double Door Kit is the perfect starter kit for any new dog parent. Instead of searching around for different crates and accessories, get everything you need to create your dog's cozy retreat in one convenient box, saving you time and money.

In each kit, you'll receive one double door iCrate, one QuietTime Fleece Crate Bed, one QuietTime Crate Cover, and two Snap'y Fit food & water bowls. Everything in the kit is sized to be a perfect fit to the crate.

Double Door iCrate

The double-door iCrate is the Inclusive Home Training System designed completely around the safety, security, and comfort of your dog. This versatile 2-door dog crate includes a free divider panel, allowing you to adjust the living space as your puppy grows; a durable, leak-proof and easy-to-clean plastic pan; a strong, detachable, carrying handle; and rubber floor protectors. The safe and secure slide-bolt door latches provide peace of mind while you’re away. The iCrate sets up in seconds with no tools required and folds flat for storage and portability.

QuietTime Fleece Bed

This ultra-soft fleece bed is perfectly sized to fit inside a crate, but works great as a standalone bed, too. It features a cushioned poly/cotton base with comfortable polyester-filled bolsters, providing a pillowy place for pets to rest their head. The bed is easy to keep clean with a quick machine wash and dry, and it resists pilling and wear over time.

QuietTime Crate Cover

MidWest's Crate Covers provide your pet with a quiet, private sanctuary of their own. The easy-to-use cover simply slips over the top of your MidWest crate, providing your pet with a relaxing environment while you are away. This machine washable cover offers proper ventilation and can be used with 1 or 2-door crates, allowing entrance and access from multiple sides. If your dog prefers a little light, each side can be lifted and hooked in place.

Snap'y Fit Food & Water Bowls

Snap’y Fit bowls feature a patented design that holds the bowl firmly in place but still allows the bowl to easily be removed for cleaning. The stainless steel pet bowls come with a rust resistant e-coated bracket that easily attaches to the crate with two wing nuts. Because Snap'y Fit food and water bowls attach to a crate's wire mesh, they promote healthy elevated eating and conveniently keep the pet bowls from being knocked over (no-tip design) by pets and pet parents alike, eliminating potential mealtime messes.

• Dimension: 20''LX19''WX20''H, Provide private room for your pet anywhere you go.Perfect size for cats or small dog up to 20 pounds.
• Easy to set up, no tools needed.
• Three mesh sides for good ventilation and vision.
• Foldable, easy to travel with carrying case.
• Machine washable mat for easier cleaning.

User questions & answers

Question:	If I need to put the large crate (29 inches high) into a space 27 inches high will it smoosh into the space
Answer:	It's the Strut without the coil/spring. I just used my old coils/springs. I used these for a 2007 Frontier. The struts are pretty easy to remove, just get a good set of spring compressors and be careful when removing the springs.
Question:	can I purchase the mat only again? My pet ruined it and I need to replace
Answer:	Yes, this is for a Frontier SE RWD for the front.
Question:	Would this kennel be good for cat shows
Answer:	Price is for one strut.
Question:	Can i carry small size on plane
Answer:	It is not a kit, just the strut itself. Not a pair either, I purchased the left and the right. The other side is part no 71454 if I remember correctly.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions

Question:	Would the 36 inch crate be large enough for a boxer
Answer:	It's ideal for my 65 lb. rangey mutt, taller and longer than most boxers. He has enough height and enough room to lie down and to turn around. Something to consider is the size and weight for storage. This folded 36" crate is pretty heavy and unwieldy at about 25 lbs. with a soft mat included. Also, any dog has to be trained to be comfortable in a crate (see http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/tips/crate_training.html ).
Question:	What size would be big enough for a regular dachshund
Answer:	I have a standard full sized dachshund, and because his back is so long; he needs room to turn around. I have a a 36 x 23x 24 crate which is perfect for him. He can go in head first and still have enough to turn himself around to come out.
Question:	has the problem of sharp edges in the crate been corrected
Answer:	No, it has not. I received the 36x23x25 intermediate crate today (2/22/2019) and the edges are definitely sharp. In the past two years, I have ordered two of the higher end MidWest Ultima Pro crates and neither had sharp edges. I wish that I purchased another Pro but I needed something lighter, cheaper for a growing puppy. I think the Midwest Pro is the way to go-thicker, sturdier, no sharp metal.

ABCs of Crate Training

Simply start from early puppyhood and have your puppy sleep and rest in his home. Almost without trying he will train himself to seek security and comfort inside his little "dog room".

ABCs of Crate Training

Encourage your puppy to go into his home on his own. If necessary, toss a little treat in the home. DON'T FORCE HIM. He may quickly back out or be shy, but that's normal. Just take it slowly. At first, don't close the door on him, let him go in and out on his own. Once he is happy and unafraid, simply restrain him at the door with your hand. Make him stay in the home for a few minutes and then gradually increase the time. Be sure to praise him!

ABCs of Crate Training

Once he is comfortable with this, (probably a few hours or days of short training sessions) simply restrain him at the door - again praising him lavishly. Soon he will be secure in his home with the door closed. Slowly you can get further and further away from him, always praising his accepting behavior. Eventually, the pup will sit quietly and sleep in his home with the door closed.

ABCs of Crate Training

Understand that little puppies need to "go" about every 2-4 hours. On a schedule, (such as after feeding, before bedtime, first thing in the morning) let your puppy out, teach him the route to the door, praise him at the door and take him out to the part of the yard you want him to use. Very quickly, you are teaching him an elimination schedule that will stay with him for the rest of his life.
