I am really happy with my purchase from K&J crates. Their product came highly recommended from my breeder, and I am not disappointed. It is nice to be able to easily transport the crate when needed, but also know that it is solid and secure. More importantly their service was exceptional resolving any of my concerns. Highly recommend.
We're really happy with our new crate, as is Freya, our Malinois X pup. It looks fantastic and will definitely outlast us, that's for sure!
The only reason for 4 stars vs 5 is that we had thought from watching the demo video that that crate would be very quick to collapse and rebuild, as we were planning to move it to a different room at night and potentially use it in a vehicle for short trips. However, while the crate is certainly very easy to put together and super-sturdy, there are 16 small thumb-screws on the sides that need to be removed/replaced each time the crate is collapsed, so while it is collapsible as advertised it's not quite as "portable" as we'd assumed.
Either way, we highly recommend this crate!
Thank you Robert. We appreciate your feedback. The screws can be a bit tricky to get a hang of at the start, but rest assured these additions add to the sturdiness of the crate. We are so glad Freya is happy.
Amazing crate!!
I ordered an x-small illusion raspberry metallic crate with a white pearl door plus a door guard, fan, grooming set & trolley. They thought of everything!! Well done worth the wait and $. I can’t recommend this company enough! Thank you sooo much!!
Thank you Barb, we loved working with you too to get the full package to you and work for your needs. And the illusion raspberry with the pearl door was a work of art, we had lots of ooos and awwws in the shop.
This was well worth the wait! These crates are engineered so thoughtfully, I’m super impressed. Colors came out amazing as well! Worth every penny in my opinion!
Thank you Tiffany, we appreciate your patience, as your wait was a little longer than expected. We are glad it was worth it, and it truly is a fabulous combination of colours. Thank you for the photos
I purchased the Rear Airline Rail for my collapsible crate which I use frequently for airline travel. Adding the rear airline rail gives me peace of mind that my crate will have an added layer of stability and will meet airline compliance ensuring my dogs will be safe during travel. My dogs will be comfortable and their crate will be extra sturdy. I highly recommend purchasing the rear airline rail as airlines get more particular about crates that they will accept.
Thank you Janna. As always, it is a pleasure working with you!
The door chew guard was purchased to give me peace of mind when using my K&J crate for airline travel. I know now that a paw or leg will now not fit through the bars on the crate which could have led to a potential injury when airline crews are loading/off loading my crate from the aircraft hold.
We purchased and received our new crate from the wonderful folks at K&J Custom Dog Crates in the last 10 days. the product is superior to any other dog crate we have seen or owned over 30 years. The quality is first class and appears to built to last a long time. Jillian was fantastic answering my questions, and everything she told me about their products was accurate. I would highly suggest this product for people that wish to take great care of their dog.
Thank you Richard, it was amazing working with you too, and getting you exactly what you were looking for. We are always here to answer any questions. All the best, Kevin & Jillian
Love it. Easy to attach to crate. It is quiet. Bernie loves it.
Thank you Janice, the photos say it all. We are glad you and Bernie love it!
This crate is going to be a great crate for our dog to fly back from Hawaii in! The design is easy to assemble, and it seems to be very sturdy and safe for our dog. The paw print air holes are also a wonderful touch.
Great crate, the big guy loves it and features like the more open door and the availability of a trolley really set these apart!
Got a few of these collars and they are awesome!
Thank you John, we love that you have enjoyed them as much as we do, and have repurchased
I cannot say good enough things about this crate. I was having troubling finding a crate I could keep my puppy safe in and know he won’t escape until I found KJ. I would recommend to anyone possible
Thank you Tyler, we are glad we had what you were looking for! We wish you and puppers all the best in their new home!
It’s helpful to keep those routinely used items in the side caddy. The compartments are large enough so they the bottles settle easily into the slot. It’s deep enough that I can leave the bottles in the external holder while wheeling the cart, they won’t fall out. All these products are so well thought out. Love everything so far.
That's awesome Sharon, we are glad the side caddy additiona is everything you need! Thank you for your custom!
Lifts the box up off the floor just enough that it’s handy enough so don’t need to put the box on a table. I’m very happy with the quality of all o these products.
We're glad you love the trolley as much as we enjoyed adding it Sharon. We think it's a huge benefit to the tack box ensemble.
I was delighted to find out K&J has digital Gift Cards. It made the perfect gift. The recipient can choose her own colour and configuration. She was very excited to receive it!
Thank you Barbara, we are happy you go to spread the love with a KJ gift card.
I have bought many crates from KJ. This newest 2.0 model is fantastic, showcasing remarkable upgrades and elevating functionality. The improved latches on the door and the durable airline rails now have screws, exemplifying a thoughtful design. What I love most about these aluminum crates is their exceptional build quality and effortless cleaning. Unlike plastic crates, they resist absorbing smells or oils. I believed in the quality of these crates before, but now my admiration has deepened; I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a crate that embodies excellence for their beloved pup.
Also, the powder-coated paint is worth the extra cost and is less likely to crack or wear.
Thank you Laura, we truly appreciate your custom, and your first hand feedback on the benefits. The powder coat makes a huge difference to the durability of the crate for sure.

My wife and I have often admired the K&J Crates our friends have used at the Dog Shows we attend with our Keeshonden, but I couldn’t justify the expense when the wire crates we have work well enough at the shows… until we entered our boy for the National KCA Specialty in North Carolina. A 3500 km distance can’t reasonably be travelled by car, so we needed a safe crate that’s airline compliant for a flight, which is precisely what we got with our K&J Collapsible Crate. I added the rear Flight Rail, the Trolley, the Grooming Mat & Arm (which store neatly in the side flight rail), and ordered the crate in my wife’s favourite Teal. Not only did Kevin & Jan have our crate in stock, they extended the sale price that had expired the day prior to my order, and delivered the crate the following Monday, just days before Christmas! They even gifted us with door guards and their 2.0 fan at no extra charge! Now my wife and our boy have the perfect crate for travel and for the Show, so he can not only get safely to Asheville but also be groomed and brought right to Ringside in style! It was the perfect gift, and getting to meet the wonderful couple behind the company in person was the icing on the cake. The crate assembly was simple, and Lynn and Asher love it! Thank you K&J for the perfect Christmas present - we can’t wait to show off our crate at the National!
Thank you Reimund, it was great to work with you also and get you all you needed for dog shows and the National! It was awesome to meet with you too!
My wife loved her new collapsable crate. She’s been playing with it since she got it.
This is awesome! We are so glad she liked her present.
This is a game changer! I groom my micro aussie doodle and this grooming kit allows me to have her at a great height to safely and securely use the electric clippers! She sits calmly on her crate, the rubber mat offering her good footing, and the adjustable pole gives me the option to use the slip leash if she decides to be ‘squirmy’. Such a great idea to incorporate the grooming kit with the awesome crate! Love them both!
Thank you Kris, we are glad that this has changed the grooming game for you!
This grooming set has made dog showing super easy. I can groom right on top of my crate then fold and store it away when I’m done! The grooming pad cleans very easily!
Thank you!
The quality and thoughtfulness that went into this crate is not even in the same league as competitors. The additional screws make it feel sturdier when assembled. It is nice to have the flexibility of stacking (with clasps, not just stack and hope) or collapsing, extra latches, color options, durability (without paying for a different “caliber” of design). The add ons like the insulated cover for winter travel, and IATA compliance make it next to none. Thank you!!
Thank you Hillary, we are glad that you find the benefits of the additional latches and screws. You are most welcome!
The quality of this tack box and rolling cart is outstanding. I’ve seen lots of boxes at shows. Far better quality than the Chris Christensen stuff. They also ship to Canada so I didn’t have to drive down across the border to pick up. Love it. It’s super pretty in candy apple red too.
