Collapsible Dog Crate 2.0
Deanna L. (Wasaga Beach, CA)
Large - 40"L x 23"W x 29"H / Orange

Loved the bright orange colour. It was pretty easy to set up. The only problem I had was trying to pull the back side out while holding the top up on set up, arms weren’t long enough from first position I was standing in. Once I moved to the side a bit, it was easy. I ordered the large for a Dalmatian but I think medium would have been big enough. Both my dogs went into it and settled without any problems.

AMAZING.

K&J Is an incredible company and an absolute life saver. We have a high anxiety pup that is an escape artist and has severely injured herself on standard wire kennels. This kennel was a lifesaver. Built to perfection and so many fun color choices! HIGHLY recommend. Worth every penny.

We (my Chinese Crested and I) truly love our new crate! Shortly after my order, someone contacted me to acknowledge my order. The shipping was super fast. The installation was easy to figure out. The weight is surprisingly quite light for all the the remarkable sturdy built. I ordered the wheels and grooming arm after as I forgot to do so when I orderedthe crate (I suppose I can blame the excitement for this) . The customer service is totally helpful and guess what? They even reply on the same day!. The crate was easy to push from my car (it fits in my Hyundai Kona!) To the benching area smoothly. All in all our first experience was absolutely awesome. I am planning to fly soon and the only thing I dare suggesting is that I wish the wheels could have some type of mechanism to somehow be build to be able to unlock them from the platform for easy suitcase storage...I even feel bad suggesting this as I as so pleased with our new crate!!! I am planning to order the fan and drinking bowl soon. Way to go K&J!

We bought our first-generation Collapsable dog crate during covid. K&J was great helping us pick it up. This new one we ordered while in Texas and they were great. Put it aside for us till we got back to Canada. The 2.0 fixed the small issues we didn't like in the original. Thank you for giving our GSD a home he loves to go to during the day. We would recommend these crates to anyone.

I loved my first crate so much, I bought a second one. Customer service top notch, and crate arrived in less thsn a week. Solid, well built, immaculate engineering. My dogs gravitated towards it immediately. I love that I can lock it when we travel. I got the collapsible verdion for traveling, and it is super easy to raise and lower. I can't think of a single negative. Lovelovelove.

Firstly I was happy to be supporting a local company. Secondly the service from K&J was amazing. Spoke on the phone, answered all my questions, even called me back right away.
Lastly, the quality of the materials and construction of this crate is impressive. These are built like tanks. Excellent fit and finish.
Glad I found K&J.

Its a great and functional option for us as it allows us to utilize the space in our car far better. The owners at K&J were great and made picking out the right one an easy process. Thanks again!

So far, so good!

After 3 serious breakouts and trashing 3 plastic crates in as many weeks, we committed to purchasing a K & J Dog crate. She has been in it nightly and for brief periods when we aren’t home and so far so good! Initial scratching on the door guard until she realized the crate could not be breached and she was safely contained. Stress free for us as well. Dog safe, house contents safe!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for your new crate, Jean. We are so glad to hear that it has been a success in keeping your pup safe and your house intact. We strive to provide quality products that bring peace of mind to both pet owners and their furry friends. Thank you for choosing K & J Dog crates.

Amazing Service

This is our third crate from K&J!. Jill was amazing when I called to see if there was an opportunity to buy the crate right from the warehouse to save shipping fees. She was very accomadating and customer focused. To top it off, right after I ordered the crate, I noticed another 5% discount and she offered it up without hesitation. They offer a great product and service. I see another crate in the future.

Thank you Greg. It was awesome to go through your options and make it work. We are here whenever you need. Jill & Team

Great crate

So ordered this crate for my 5 month old cane corse. It was incredibly easy to put together, the longest part was attaching the wheels to the tray. Was easy enough for my wife and I to put together (she has 2 broken ribs atm).

I only gave it 4 stars as it hasn't been used a bunch yet but so far this thing is built very solid. But will come back and either fix or do another review once it's been used more.

Hi J, we are so glad that you guys found the crate easy to put together We hope you have had lots of use of the crate for you and your puppers over the last few months.

Excited to use our whole set up!

We bought a new set up for our new vehicle because we do lots with our dogs and got tired of hauling different crates and equipment. After checking out friends’ K&J set up this summer we got collapsible crates, fans so we can keep them cool when we bench in the car this summer, and a trolley to haul everything inside when we’re at shows.
For now the crates are comfortable for trips and well ventilated. As a bonus, the door stays open when we’re loading and unloading. I had to hold the door open on the old crates while wrangling leashes and dogs. Love the bright, fun colours - had to buy purple for our bullmastiff Violet 😉🐾🐾

Thank you Janet so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're thrilled to hear that you are excited to use our wheeled trolley and collapsible crates for your dogs. We understand the struggle of hauling different equipment and we're glad to hear that our products have made your life a bit easier. We hope your furry friends enjoy their new comfortable and well-ventilated crates. And we agree, the bright colors definitely add a fun touch! Thank you for choosing our products and have a great time with Violet at the shows!

Collapsible Dog Crate

We have just received and set up our fabulous collapsible dog crate from K&J and I could not be more pleased with the fit and finish and overall quality and design. We purchased it with the rolling trolly base for mobility around our home and it works wonderfully. Our 12 week old Aussie Sheppard pops right in after a good exercise session and rests easily and comfortably. Going from a wire crate to this more enclosed crate was a concern, but he’s made no complaints at all and may even find it easier to settle. Our preference is to always buy Canadian-made products and services (local if possible), and to support small businesses. Jillian and Kevin provide excellent customer service and it’s lovely to deal with small business owners who are committed to their product and their customers. We are completely satisfied!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review Scott! We are thrilled to hear that it has exceeded your expectations and that your 12-week-old Aussie Sheppard is enjoying it as well. Thank you for choosing K&J and for your kind words about our customer service. We truly appreciate your satisfaction and are always here to help. Happy crate training! -Jillian and Kevin from K&J
