BestPet 48" Foldable Metal Dog Crate vs MidWest LifeStages Double Door Wire Dog Crate

Buy the BestPet 48-inch if you have a large or extra-large dog over 50 lbs; it is the only one of the two sized for that. Buy the MidWest LifeStages 36-inch if you have a medium dog and want a lighter, more portable crate with a one-year manufacturer warranty. The BestPet is bigger, heavier at about 38 lbs, and comes with a divider and removable tray for crate training a growing large pup. The MidWest has a tighter 15 mm wire gap, slide-bolt latches and an electro-coat finish, and owners of medium dogs tend to find it easy to fold and move. Note the MidWest listing's own weight figures conflict, so check the size chart against your dog before ordering.

• Choose the MidWest LifeStages 36-inch if you have a medium dog and want a lighter crate with slide-bolt latches and a manufacturer warranty.
