Which is better for a dog that chews?

The Ruff Land. Its molded polyethylene shell resists chewing far better than the iCrate's wire, which a determined dog can bend.

Which is better for crate training a puppy?

The MidWest iCrate. Its divider panel lets the crate grow with the puppy, and the two doors and low threshold make entry easier.

Is the Ruff Land worth the extra money?

Only if you travel rough or need weather and chew resistance. For indoor containment, the iCrate does the job for much less.

Which is easier to move and store?

The iCrate. It weighs about 17 lb and folds flat; the Ruff Land weighs 42 lb and does not fold.

Will the 30-inch iCrate fit a medium dog?

Check the stated 12 lb capacity and 30 x 19 x 16 in interior against your dog's measurements. Many medium dogs need a larger size.

Can the Ruff Land go in a truck bed?

Yes. The polyethylene shell handles weather and road spray, but tie it down since it is not a folding crate.
