The same iCrate line sized up for 90-110lb dogs: German Shepherds, Collies, Huskies. Same divider panel, same slide-bolt latch with Paw Block, same fold-flat setup, just built to a size where a big dog can actually stand, turn around, and lie flat without folding itself into a corner.

About MidWest iCrate 48-Inch XL Dog Crate

Real owners of genuinely large dogs confirm the 48-inch size delivers on room: dogs over 110lb, German Shepherds, and golden retrievers are reported fitting and lying down comfortably. Assembly at this larger size is repeatedly described as fast and tool-free, and the leak-proof tray is specifically called out as easy to slide out and clean even at this footprint.

The most genuine recurring complaint at the XL size is inconsistent build quality rather than a sizing problem. Several recent reviews describe the wire gauge as thinner or more bendable than older units of the same crate line, with a few mentioning sharp or unfinished edges on the bars, and at least one report of hinge and latch misalignment that let a strong dog nudge the door open. It's a minority pattern within mostly positive reviews.

The Honest Take

What I Like and What I Don't

What I like

  • Same trusted iCrate line and 111,000+ rating history as the 42-inch size
  • Enough interior room for large breeds to stand and turn around fully
  • Divider panel still included at this size
  • Assembly at this larger 48-inch size is consistently described as fast and tool-free, several reviewers report well under 10 minutes
  • Real buyers report dogs at or above the top of the stated 90-110 lb range fitting comfortably

What holds it back

  • Still a folding wire crate, not built for a dog that chews or claws at the frame
  • At 40lb it's not a one-hand carry between rooms
  • A recurring quality complaint on recent XL purchases: several reviewers say the wire feels thinner and less reinforced than older versions of the same crate, with a couple mentioning sharp or unfinished edges on the bars
  • At least one report of hinge and latch alignment issues at this size, a door that wouldn't securely latch and could be nudged open by a strong dog

Is This For You?

Who Should (and Shouldn't) Buy This

Get it if…

You have a 90-110 lb dog and want a roomy, quick-to-assemble wire crate with a divider panel.

Skip it if…

Consistent heavy-gauge build quality matters more to you than price, a minority of recent XL buyers report the wire and latch hardware feeling lighter than older versions of this same crate line.

The verdict

For most 90-110 lb dogs this delivers the room and easy setup it promises. For indoor rest between crate sessions, see our elevated dog beds guide.

What Real Buyers Say

5.0

This crate is sturdy, spacious, and perfect for extra-large dogs who need room to stretch out. The metal feels strong and secure, the latches stay in place, and the removable tray makes cleaning simple. It's big enough for giant breeds to stand, turn, and relax comfortably.

My Cane Corso is 180 pounds. He fits in this crate beautifully. Please be careful with the bars, I found quite a few that were sharp and poked me to the point of bleeding. If I needed another one, I'd absolutely buy this crate again.

3.0

Not strong enough for a real XL dog. Compared to the 48" kennel we have had for about 8 years this is not the same quality. Had to bend the bottom into shape, which was way too easy. It is missing the third row reinforcement along the tray and overall the wire is just painted bendable, not galvanized and not thicker gauge than the smaller kennels we have.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need the 42-inch or the 48-inch?

MidWest sizes these by weight: the 42-inch fits 71-90lb dogs, this 48-inch fits 90-110lb dogs. If your dog is close to the upper end of a size, size up so they have room to fully stand and turn around.
