MidWest Homes for Pets 24-Inch Single-Door Wire Dog Crate with Adjustable Divider

MidWest Homes for Pets LifeStages is a 24-inch single-door metal wire dog crate designed to provide a secure, familiar space for small dogs, with a divider panel that adjusts the interior as a puppy grows.

• Reinforced, heavier-gauge wire with precision-welded construction and a black e-coat — made for everyday crate use with resistance to rust and wear.
• Patented Paw Block, locking slide-bolt tips, and rounded corner clips — designed to help reduce escape and cut risks.
• Divider panel, leak-proof pan, rubber feet, and carry handle — practical features for changing crate space, cleanup, and handling.
• Large openings and low thresholds — make entering and exiting easier during crate training.
• One-year manufacturer’s warranty — coverage from the crate’s manufacturer.

A crate can give a dog a designated place to rest at home and a familiar setup for trips or temporary stays. The LifeStages is made for small breeds and for owners who want a wire crate that can serve through puppyhood, fold away when not in use, and support crate-training routines.

What size dog is the 24-inch LifeStages crate made for?

The crate is designed for dogs weighing 12–20 lb (5.4–9.1 kg), including Fox Terriers, Pugs, Chihuahuas, and similar breeds. Its external dimensions are 24.5 x 17.5 x 19.5 inches (62.2 x 44.5 x 49.5 cm). For a dog near 20 lb, consider the 30-inch model (76.2 cm) to provide more room.

Compare the dimensions with the space available where you plan to set up the crate, and consider your dog’s fit within the interior. The single-door design provides one entry point for positioning in a room.

• Intended weight range: 12–20 lb.
• Breed examples: Fox Terrier, Pug, or Chihuahua.

What helps secure the crate and protect your dog?

The LifeStages combines a patented Paw Block with locking tips on its slide-bolt latch to help resist escapes. Rounded corner clips are designed to mitigate cuts, and the crate undergoes rigorous safety testing.

Its wire is a heavier gauge than that of standard crates, and precision-welded construction forms the metal frame. A black e-coat finish helps the wire resist rust and wear over time. These construction and latch features are intended for everyday use, including for dogs that may need a more durable crate because of higher separation anxiety.

• Slide-bolt latch with locking tips.
• Rounded corner clips designed to mitigate cut risks.

What is included with the LifeStages crate?

The crate comes with a divider panel, a leak-proof pan, rubber feet, and a carrying handle. The divider lets you adjust the available space as a puppy grows, while the pan provides a contained surface that is easier to clean.

Rubber feet help protect floors, and the handle makes the crate easier to carry. Larger openings and low thresholds make entry and exit easier, which can help make crate-training routines more approachable for a dog.

• Use the divider to change the interior space as your puppy grows.
• The leak-proof pan supports easier cleanup.
• Rubber feet help protect the floor beneath the crate.

Can the crate be folded for storage or travel?

Yes, the LifeStages folds flat in seconds without tools. This makes it practical to put away between uses or set up in different locations, including at home or during a stay away from home.

The included carrying handle supports moving the folded crate, while its tool-free setup avoids the need for assembly tools. The crate is backed by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.

• Folds flat in seconds.
• No tools are needed to set it up.
