Which one should you buy?

For most people the MidWest iCrate 24 inch 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 if you want the same trusted build with two doors for easier placement, the Feandrea 30 inch soft crate if you want a light fabric carrier for travel and calm dogs, or the Amazon Basics 91cm wire crate if you want a roomier double door wire crate with the largest review base here by far. Pick the Petmate Precision ProValu 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.
