Is this crate good for a puppy?

It works for a small puppy as a travel or temporary crate. A puppy that chews or scratches at the mesh can damage it, so supervise until you know your dog's habits.

How big a dog does it fit?

It is made for mini dogs up to about 22 lb. Measure your dog's length and height against the crate's interior before buying, and size up if your dog is near the limit.

Does it fold flat for travel?

Yes. The frame collapses so the crate packs flat, and it sets up again without tools. That makes it easier to take on car trips and into hotels than a rigid kennel.

Can it be used for crate training at home?

It can serve as a secondary crate, but many owners keep a hard crate for overnight training. The soft sides and mesh are less secure for a dog left alone for long periods.

The fabric and mesh wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. The pad, if included, is usually removable, but the crate itself should not go in a washing machine.
