How the Divider Panel Saves You Money

We hear some "experts" out there advising you to buy a succession of crates for your dog as it grows from puppy to adult. The idea is that you get a crate just for the size of the dog as it grows.

They claim that this is necessary to prevent your dog from having enough room to sleep at one end of the crate and eliminate at the other end. So they want you to buy a whole bunch of dog crates.

We say: "What a waste of money!". Do you think the people giving you this advise are also selling dog crates? Our solution to this is the crate divider panel:

The divider panel as shown with the "puppy" (above left) reduces the size of the crate when he/she is small. The divider panel can adjusted until your dog reaches its full-grown adult size in about 12 - 18 months.

So - one crate works for the puppy and the dog, which is why the divider panel saves you money.

The following folding dog crate models include a free divider panel:

Midwest iCrates
iCrate Single Door
iCrate Double Door

Midwest Life Stages Training and Travel Crates
Life Stages Single Door
Life Stages Double Door
Life Stages Ultima Triple Door

Select Triple Door Crates
Select Triple Door Crate

Ultima Pro Heavy Duty Crates
Ultima Pro Triple Door, Heavy Duty Dog Crate

The following models are available with a divider panel which is sold separately:

Midwest Giant Dog Crates
1154U Giant Dog Crate
Solutions Series SL54DD Giant Two Door Dog Crate

Conclusion: The divider panel allows you to buy the crate for the adult size of your dog, yet still allow it to be suitable for a puppy. This saves you time and money; a great investment!
