Life Stages Ultima - Triple Door Homes - 1600UL Series with Divider Panel
A step up from the Life Stages Double Doors, the Ultima Series takes security and convenience to the next level! The horizontal wires are closer together to provide tighter mesh spacing than the other Life Stages pet homes. The wire gauge (thickness) is also heavier. This provides extra strength which makes the Ultima Series the choice for professional users as well as for owners of active breeds and adult dogs that have never been crate trained. In addition, the Ultima Series offers the following features not found on any other pet homes that will appeal to a wide range of pet owners.Three doors! Each Ultima Series pet home includes a door on the side and one on either end. What's special about the doors on the ends is that they open out, like MIDWEST's other doors, but they also swing in, out of the way of people and pets. This is a great feature for dogs that have already been crate trained...the door can be left open for easy access at any time, and the door isn't in the pet owner's way. Also, the end doors open in opposite directions. The traditional "front" door opens from the right and swings to the left. The "back" door opens from the left and swings to the right. Finally, a pet home with a door for lefties! When placed lengthwise in a vehicle, the two end doors allow access to the dog though the hatch as well as the passenger compartment. With their multiple openings and right and left hinged end doors that swing in and out, Ultima pet homes can be placed in the most convenient location for the pet owner in any room regardless of configuration. Finally, with the included divider panel, Ultima pet homes can be divided in two to house 2 dogs with individual access to each one.
