Rank #3 in Best Dog Crate 2026: The Inch Is Not a Measurement
DogCrates+ Medium Foldable Dog Crate 30 Inch, 2 Doors, Non-Chew Tray
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DogCrates+ 30-inch crate costs £27.45 and is rated 4.6 stars from 1,672 ratings, 79 per cent of them five-star and 3 per cent one-star.
It takes third because it is the only crate here that publishes its bar spacing — 7 millimetres — which is the one number that tells you whether the crate will hold the dog, and because at £27.45 it is the cheapest of the three 30-inch crates.
How those 1,672 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

Questions people ask
What is a 7mm gap?
The spacing between the bars; at 7mm a puppy cannot push its head through, and it is the only published spacing in this ranking.
Why does bar spacing matter?
Because it is what stops escapes and trapped paws, and nine of these ten listings do not state it.
Is the tray chew-proof?
The field says non-chew plastic, which is one of only two statements here about the material that fails first.
How big a dog fits?
30 inches is a length; measure your dog from chest to rear and add a few centimetres, then compare with the dimensions.
Why is it third?
Because the published bar spacing is the most useful spec here, but its sample is the smallest of the three 30-inch crates.
How many ratings does it have?
1672 at the time of collection, averaging 4.6 stars, with 79 per cent five-star and 3 per cent one-star.
