There are several Midwest dog crates series that have been discontinued – so grab them while stock is still available because once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Stock remains on some sizes in the following series:
better buy home training series 1000
better buy home training & travel series 1200
canine camper soft side dog crates series 1700
life stages ultima triple door series 1600ul
starter series 1100
I am in the process of expanding my dog crate offerings to be sure that my customers have a wide variety of styles, strengths and finishes from which to choose. For starters, this will include professional, heavy-duty Suitcase Crates by Precision Pet Products as well as their Great Crates which are available in two finish choices. Expect new soft crates, kennels, dog houses and more in the near future.
Check Pet Crates Direct home page and the daily dog blog often as new products will be highlighted as they become available.
As always, customer feedback is appreciated. If you have recommendations for crate features or styles not currently offered, please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
and in closing…a word about the economy
Every customer is important to Pet Crates Direct and the value of each is amplified in these hard economic times. With most of us making purchases more thoughtfully, I am grateful to each of you who entrust me with your pet product purchase. Your continued patronage is keeping our “mom and pop” operation alive in the midst of economic turmoil. Thank You!

Pet Dreams, the supplier of the classic and plush dog cratewear cover sets, presently has many items on backorder. I suppose this is an indication of the popularity of these dog crate covers as there seems to be a continuing problem with item availability, often resulting in extended backorder situations. While selling them so quickly as to not be able to keep up with stock is good for the manufacturer, it tends to put a crimp in my efforts to provide customers with timely delivery of orders and communications in regards to backorders. I attempt to keep the dog crate cover pages up-to-date as to item availability but find it a frustrating process as I often do not know about another item being short until I have attempted to have customer orders delivered. I apologize to customers who have been affected by this and appreciate your understanding in regards to situations that might arise which are out of my control. In the meantime, if there is a particular size/color that you desire which is on backorder you might want to order and wait as orders in-house will be filled before new orders and at this rate new inventory arrivals might only go as far as filling all of the backorders.

I received word from the factory today that model 1624 Life Stages single door dog crates are on backorder until the week of March 6th. Please consider the double door version in the meantime. I have noted the backorder status on the webpage as well.

Some of you have been patiently waiting for the arrival of Bay Isle models 1824 and 1830 which have been on backorder. We got word yesterday that they have arrived and all orders in house will ship today. We’ll forward tracking numbers on monday. We appreciate your patience and orders.

Midwest had announced that they would discontinue the Championship series of dog crates beginning in January of this year. This includes all models in the series with the exception of the side by sides. I’ve just gotten an updated status as to the stock situation and have updated the pages on the site to reflect the models that are still available. Don’t hesitate to purchase if you are interested in one of these crates as they seem to be going quickly.
