When popular dog channel Life With Klee Kai decided to find the best collapsible dog crate on the market, they didn't just read the spec sheets — they tested three of the most talked-about options head-to-head with their two Alaskan Klee Kai dogs. The lineup included the Impact Collapsible Crate, the Diggs Revol, and the PAWD by KindTail — and each was put through its paces across price, setup speed, durability, functionality, and — perhaps most importantly — which one the dogs actually preferred.
Style that fits your home
One thing that immediately stood out to the reviewer was the PAWD's design. They felt the PAWD had a nicer design than the Revol, and that it matched their home's interior design more seamlessly than traditional crates. For anyone who's ever tried to hide a clunky wire crate behind the sofa, that's a big deal.
Durable, despite being plastic
Some shoppers hesitate when they hear "plastic crate" — but the PAWD quickly put that concern to rest. KindTail used high-quality plastic that ensures the crate has structural integrity when assembled. It also won points for being toxin-free with ample ventilation and easy to clean — all without requiring any tools to set up or collapse.
The best crate for puppies
The PAWD earned the title of "Best Dog Crate for Puppies" in the review, specifically because it's easy to clean, toxin-free, and built with pup-safe ventilation holes with no risk of snout or paw trapping. The fact that it folds down so compactly also makes it easy to move between rooms or take on the road as your pup grows.
Outstanding value
Perhaps the most compelling part of the PAWD story is the price. The PAWD is priced at $139.99 for the small and $209.99 for the medium — significantly cheaper than the Revol by Diggs and Impact's collapsible crate, both of which can run well north of $400. Yet it holds its own on design, durability, and usability.
The verdict from Life With Klee Kai? Their recommendation was the PAWD — a thoughtfully designed crate that was easy to use, and one their Klee Kai dogs loved being inside.
If you've been looking for a collapsible crate that looks great, performs brilliantly, and won't break the bank, the PAWD is exactly that.
