Which one should you buy?

For most people the MidWest iCrate 24 inch at around 61 dollars is the best place to start, because it is the budget standard - a folding wire crate with a divider, a leak-proof tray and floor-protecting feet, sized for small dogs that stand, turn and lie down comfortably. Step up to the MidWest Life Stages 24 inch at 92 dollars if you want the same trusted build with two doors for easier placement, the Feandrea 30 inch soft crate at 95 dollars if you want a light fabric carrier for travel and calm dogs, or the Amazon Basics 91cm wire crate at 100 dollars if you want a roomier double-door wire crate with the largest review base here by far. Pick the Petmate Precision ProValu at around 124 dollars if you want a double-door wire crate with a baby-pink rust-resistant finish and a growth divider. The premium pick is the New World 30 inch double-door metal crate: it is the heavier-duty, medium-dog choice with a secure slide-bolt latch and a leak-proof tray, backed by nearly 12,000 ratings. Note the two MidWest crates can run low on stock, so grab them when you see them.
