Our verdict

A blue metal crate for extra-small to small dogs, with one door, a multi-point lock and a pull-out tray. The single door limits where the crate can be placed, so check the layout of the room first.

Overview

Folding down for travel and storage, the Carlson 6008 DS is a single door alloy steel crate with a removable pan. A multi-point locking system secures the door, and an instruction manual comes in the box.

Portable metal construction suits both home use and trips to daycare, kennels or the car. The limitation is the narrow size range, since only the smallest breeds are covered, and there is one door.

Who it's for

A household with an extra-small or small dog that needs a secure place to rest, travel or stay at daycare. Medium and large breeds are outside the listed size, and anyone wanting a side door should look at a two-door model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Folds for travel and storage
  • Multi-point locking door
  • Removable pan for cleaning
  • Instruction manual included
Cons
  • Single door only
  • Small dogs only
  • Assembly requirement not listed

Performance notes

A removable tray slides out so waste is cleaned without moving the dog, and the multi-point lock holds the door at several places rather than one latch. A folding frame trades some rigidity for portability, and the listing gives no weight limit.
