Can anyone reccommend a folding dog crate please?

It needs to be about 2 ft tall & I assumed about 3 ft by maybe 3 or 4 ft

& do they all have a solid base/tray?

It's not for a dog so I don't really know what I'm doing Grin

If you have a Range near you they do good crates. We've had three for various different places and they've all been good and they are cheaper than most in the pet shops

I got one at Halfords - similar to and cheaper than those at pet shops think I paid £25 for similar size a couple years ago ie big enough for a staffie - put something soft on the base and dead comfy and folds flat only 2 or 3 inches high

Probably yes; we will be doinga lot of travelling with him & I really want him to be comfy - I do spoil him

Oh I didn't mean get a tiny one, just it's easy to underestimate how big they are, lol...I have a 46" (xxl) crate for a Rottweiler, because that was the recommended size - both him and my 6 ft 3 son can fit in it together, rofl.

And it takes up vast amounts of space because the height matches the size of it.

But I'd think a medium or large would do you Smile

I've had this one from Argos - might be the sort of size you need. ( I had puppies in it though! )
Easy to put up and down with a solid plastic tray base.

well we won't be using the space when we are driving & we can flat pack it as soon as we stop

He needs to be comphy

Ah right...

You might not want one big enough to fit quite all that in...they get quite tall as they get bigger, so they take up a lot of room.

But yeah, metal ones all fold and have solid floors and you can get them pretty cheap on eBay and Amazon - they'll have dimensions on too.

Do they? That's good

The cat is coming on a camper van holiday & I thought a dog crate would be good for hime to travel in (with his food/water/bed/litter) - I know I'm a bit daft
