Overview
This is the smallest size in MidWest's iCrate line, a folding wire crate built for tiny and toy breeds up to about 10 lbs. It ships with a divider panel so the same crate can section down for a growing puppy, plus a removable leak-proof tray underneath.
MidWest sells this size specifically as a puppy crate rather than a permanent home for an adult dog, since the wire spacing and floor space are scaled to extra-small breeds. The divider panel is the main selling point: block off extra room while a puppy is small, then open it up as they grow toward the 10 lb ceiling. It folds flat along its frame for storage or travel between uses.
- 18 inch length, sized for dogs up to 10 lbs
- Includes a divider panel for puppy growth stages
- Removable leak-proof plastic tray
- Folds flat for storage or travel
Who it's for
Owners of toy or extra-small breed puppies, or adult dogs that stay under 10 lbs, who want a crate for house training or a defined resting space at home. Not a fit for anyone crate shopping for a dog that will outgrow 10 lbs.
Pros and cons
- Divider panel lets it shrink for a growing puppy
- Leak-proof tray lifts out for easy cleanup
- Folds flat for storage or transport
- Sized specifically for extra-small breeds under 10 lbs
- Single door only, no side access option
- Too small once a dog passes 10 lbs
Performance notes
The crate folds along a wire frame with a single door and a plastic tray at the base that lifts out for cleaning. Gap size between wires is listed at 37.5 millimeters, tight enough to suit small-breed heads and paws. The latch is described as secure, and the unit is meant for indoor use.
