10 Reviews: Best Dog Crates for Large Dogs (Apr 2024)

With the Paws & Pals Single-Door Folding Wire Dog Crate, you can keep your dog secure while you’re gone and house-train her quickly and efficiently. Canines feel comfortable and secure in their dens in nature, and having her own box to call home may provide your pup with the same amount of comfort, regardless of her age. It’s constructed of high tensile-strength steel wire that’s been firmly shaped and welded for strength and durability before being electro-coated for rust, corrosion, and fade resistance, even in extreme conditions.

It is perfect for hauling to dog shows and training class as it sets up quickly. The floor mat is nice and fits inside when folded up. It has clips on the side to compress it to fit back in the carrying case. This crate is for a dog that is already crate trained, which is the case for any soft sided crate.

The Carlson Pet 6002 DS Foldable Metal Pet Crate is an excellent choice if you want a high-quality crate at a low price. This variant is composed of steel for added toughness, which is required if your dog bites and scratches at everything. The front-facing door includes a single bolt-style latch for faster crate opening and shutting. It also contains a detachable hard-plastic tray that is washable in case your dog has an accident.

This crate doubles as a nice piece of furniture in our spacious theater room that allows our male/female Belgian Malinois, to be part of the family! Love the elegance it adds while crating our large dogs. Just got second crate yesterday! Hannah and Montana are crate trained, and love napping in them!

If your dog isn’t interested in escaping their cage, a soft-sided alternative, such as the popular AmazonBasics Soft Dog Travel Crate, with a PVC frame covered in polyester fabric, is a good choice. The soft-sided container unfolds in seconds and has two doors on the front and top, as well as mesh windows on three sides. The soft dog cage is available in sizes ranging from 21 to 42 inches in length, and many reviewers use it for camping, vacation, and daily usage.

I’m really happy with this product, it’s great quality for large dog breeds.

The Petmate Sky Kennel Pet Carrier is a popular plastic crate because to its heavy-duty construction and 360-degree ventilation, and it is available in six different sizes ranging from 21 to 48 inches long. This plastic box comes with a clip-on food and water dish, and reviewers say it’s great for in-home training as well as traveling. (However, some people have pointed out that the container has to be significantly adjusted to comply with airline travel standards.)

This is great. It seemed large at first but with the divider I tailored it to my dog as he has grown from 10lbs to 35lbs on his way to 60lb adult.

This medium dog cage has a 5-point precision lock system and two doors on each side for optimal security and access. Rounded edges prevent the portable kennel from catching on anything. The sturdy dog training kennel includes an adjustable dividing panel that grows with the puppy. For outdoor usage, it has a rust-resistant surface. The crate collapses for storage and transport. Crate and kennel training is critical for your dog’s safety and comfort.

Wheels sturdy, easily steered. Used to ship 2 large Labs from FL to HI and these were great.

Crates for large dogs don’t have to be boring! This Merry Products 42-inch dog cage combines usable dog housing with a lovely side table. The crate is constructed of mahogany wood paneling and sturdy steel. The bottom of the plastic tray is also detachable for simple cleaning. Simply snap off the wood panels to change it into a portable container that you can carry. Furthermore, the solid crate top enables personal objects to be kept on top, maximizing surface space while having no influence on the cage or pet within.

Love my cage. Beautiful piece of furniture. Sturdy enough to hold my great grandmother’s Tiffany lamp with no worries. Love the separation piece so the cage is growing with puppy. Large bed mattress fits great inside.

The Petmate Sky Kennel is mostly made of strong, high-quality plastic, yet it still has enough ventilation to keep your pet comfortable. The front door, as well as the two windows on each side, are constructed of steel wire, while the rear of the box is made of perforated plastic. For ultimate protection, the door has a vault-style lock and is fastened in four locations. The box is made of two pieces that are fastened together with a number of plastic wingnuts. You can remove the top, flip it, and store it inside the bottom half to save room during transportation or storage.

Two extra large dogs, durable, great for over sea traveling

The Sliverylake Crate’s main selling point is its exceptionally sturdy steel tube structure, but it also has a number of other useful features. The whole crate is supported by four heavy-duty rollers, and a retractable litter pan is included for cleaning up spills. This crate has two doors, one on top and one on the front, for easy access to your pooch. The top has a single latch, but the front entrance has two.

I needed a cage to hold large dogs while drying with a cage dryer. This one is perfect. They have room to move around in it.

The Frisco Ultimate Heavy Duty Steel Metal Dog Crate will keep your pet safe and secure. This huge dog crate is made of heavy-duty 22-gauge steel and has wheels for convenient mobility as well as brakes to keep it in place. The dual locks and detachable bottom tray make it simple to secure and clean. This large dog cage is heavy and may need the assistance of two persons to build. It also has a grated floor that allows food and trash to fall through, as well as a detachable, slide-out tray beneath for fast and simple cleaning.

This thing is solid metal. Didn't take long for my 80 pound German shepherd to figure out she couldn't get out of it. Only day one. Would definitely recommend two people when putting together. I put it together by myself but whew it was a chore.

The light mahogany wood mixes nicely with practically any décor and is solidly made with a strong wood floor and top. Unlike other dens and crates that are just made of wire and a wood cover, the Ruffhaus includes a stronger wire mesh that is fastened to the interior wood frame, making it incredibly solid and lasting. Look no farther than the RuffHaus if you want to upgrade from your standard dog cage to a wonderful habitat that will please both you and your dog.

This is the 4th kennel we have purchased for our Cane Corso. He has broken out of or chewed through every other one we have purchased. This one is super sturdy and well built.
