K9 Kennel Boss - Heavy Duty Fully Collapsible Powder-Coated Aluminum Dog Crate - Small (Black)

This is the best crate I've bought in my life, so easy to pack up and move to and from my friends house. Its basically the impact crate but your not paying the 1300 it would cost if you bought from them. The latch latches strongly, easy to fold (just make sure to remove dog toys first, made that mistake), super strong (can contain my 40 pound Aussie easily (size medium). No creaking or screeching in the hinges. Matches my esthetic of industrial that everyone notices and comments on. I took a photoshoot of my dog and her breaking out of her old crate and putting her in a jail suit outfit and sending her to "maximum security doggy jail." Even had the front and side mug shots next to her crate with a sign saying what she was in there for ahah. Was a perfect funny Facebook story post.

My dog has high separation anxiety. He’s about 70-80 of muscle. He’s destroyed 3 other crates before this. Even ones considered “heavy duty”. While this is big, it holds up to his chaos. I live in an apartment or we’re traveling in an RV and it’s easy to assemble or disassemble daily if needed. It’s not ideal but it’s doable. It’s sturdy while still being collapsible which I found hard to find.

Love this crate so much. Holds up great and keeps our pet safe. Love that it collapses, makes moving it and storing it so easy. Even loaned it to a friend to help with their new husky and is still doing great. Budget friendly compared to Impact and no bad reputation. 10 outta 10 would buy again.

Not a fan. I bought this for my retired K9, hoping it was as good as the Impact crate. I’ve had it for about a year and a half. So far, the screws constantly come loose and they fall off. I constantly have to screw them back in and constantly make sure they are tight. The locking mechanism on the door worked fine in the beginning, but then it stopped working properly. I had to double and triple check that the lock was secure. I had to put a note on the crate, stating to double check the door, so it was secure. Today, I loaded up my dog, I checked to make sure the door was secured, and I left the room. I let my other dog out, and unbeknownst to me, my K9, had escaped her crate and the fight was on. In addition, our last foster dog’s adopter bought one for him, at our recommendation. The dog ended up destroying the crate. He broke out through the back. He was hurt in the process. I do not recommend this crate.

Looks like a good and sturdy kennel. Unfortunately it was damaged in the transport and I didn’t see damage until it was fully assembled. I will repurchase it again.

One of our dogs is a 63lb rescue who wasn't crate trained (and didn't want to be). He would get into things (garbage, food, M&Ms, etc) and ruin things when we were gone (i.e. scratch doors & window sills, chew blankets). He knocked screens out and escaped from our RV twice while traveling. He broke out of the folding wire crates easily and chewed through (!!!) a $250, THICK, composite plastic crate. Imagine coming home from work to a possible vet visit (and bill) almost every day! This crate has changed all our lives. He is SAFE now when we're at work and on the road. It has the perfect amount of room for him, it's secure (we don't even have to additionally lock it - though we could), and it's not too difficult to manage folding down. I'm so glad this company offered this crate for this price. It's a lot of money, but WORTH it compared to the alternatives.

This crate is exactly like an Impact collapsible crate at a much more reasonable price. The door is like the older version of Impacts with the bars instead of holes. I prefer this as it gives much better ventilation. The large is equivalent to the 40+ with Impact. Impact charges $1300 for the tan vs $750 for this one. The thumb screws are a game changer and really make the crate solid. It's such a good idea that Impact sort of copied it except theirs are 2 pieces with a bolt that goes on the inside and a cheap plastic nut that goes on the outside. The only negative (and it's not enough to take off any stars IMO) is I don't like how the tabs on the side rails are exposed on the inside of the crate (2nd pic). For some dogs that chew on everything, this could be a cutting hazard. Impact collapsible crates gave the same issue. I wish there were little pockets welded on the inside that would cover the tabs. Maybe future versions could incorporate something like that.

Excellent! Sturdy build, easy take down and my dog loves it. This is her getaway and safe zone.

Lightweight but very sturdy.
