Diggs Evolv Modular Dog Crate for Dogs Up to 16" Tall, Ash, Small

The crate arrived today and I was surprised at how heavy it was! That's not such a bad thing, though, as I don't want the thing rocking across the floor if the pup gets a little rambunctious.. This is going to stay put. I would strongly advise anyone who purchases this to watch the YouTube video for assembly instructions. I learn better by watching them do it first rather than by reading the Quick Start guide. I got the Small 24" size for my Maltese. It's a little generous for him, but I can use the puppy wall, if necessary. We have just started our crate training journey, so I'll have to post an update in a few weeks. But so far, he doesn't seem to be afraid to check it out. I have the two door version, and I'm leaving them both open for him to explore. The quality of the crate is very good - substantial and sturdy. On the other hand, foldability isn't a feature of this crate. For travel, it will have to be disassembled and reassembled - not difficult, but not super convenient, either. Personally, if I were to travel with my dog, I would explore other options for foldable crates and leave this one at home. All in all, this is attractive, durable, sturdy, and easy to assemble. It is large enough to be comfy, but not too large. As for value for the money, I feel that if the crate does its job and lasts for a long time, then it's a good value. I'll meet you back here in a few weeks with an update!

This is a really nice crate... very solid, clean looking, rounded edges, interior movable divider. Note that this is heavy for its respective size.. but its also good quality. but if you're constantly moving between rooms or weekend house it can be a lot, especially with no handle. However it is relatively easy too take apart and reassemble (does not fold). I purchased 2 and the one had a small burr on the one metal piece. The cage sides are solid / better than on cheap create and i don't see my aussidoodle being able to bend it by chewing. It has a squeeze type latch which is nice, quite, satisfying when closed. White has a nice clean look in your home without getting into a furniture crate. Expensive but you're getting much higher quality than most. Recommended.

Great crate, good quality, well built, worth the money you pay

I purchased the small-sized crate. I was able to assemble the parts together and it is very sturdy. But I was shocked at how heavy it is. And looking back over the information on the item-the measurement of the dimensions is stated in large print but the weight is hard to find and in small letters. So it lists the small crate weighing 24#s. Whereas the medium crate weighs less @20# which does not make sense. The frame, I assume, is made of stainless steel though it does not state what metal is used. I would have rather had an aluminum frame that would be much lighter. So I think there needs better detail on the description of materials used to make the crate and the weight should be in large print and obvious next to the dimensions of the crate. P.S. I looked at the weight carefully again on the medium crate. It is actually 29#s. The print is so small and hard to read.

Small removable plastic pieces inside crate = safety concern I bought this Diggs Evolv crate because it’s expensive and marketed as premium and safety-focused. Unfortunately, my 8-month-old corgi puppy was able to pull out small plastic rings from inside the crate. I found one chewed and later caught her with another in her mouth before realizing where they came from. Three front holes were already empty. These pieces are small, come loose easily, and pose a choking or ingestion risk. This wasn’t aggressive chewing — they were simply accessible. A crate is meant for unsupervised use, so this is concerning. I removed the remaining pieces myself for safety. The crate looks nice overall, but at this price point I expected better attention to safety details. Puppy owners should inspect or remove these parts immediately.

Instructions said 20 minutes perhaps with two people. Took about an hour. When I first attempted assembly the pieces were very cold. Did not want to cooperate. Let it come to room temperature and much easier to match up corners. Once that happened a snap (or twist) to put together. Note I did mess up the door opening direction, but maybe I'll get ambitious and correct my mistake. Great crate, my 3 month old golden doodle loves it. Very sturdy thus a bit heavy, not easily moved. Latch is pretty good although the squeeze is a bit rough for arthritic hands and you must jiggle a bit to line up the latch slots. But I love it, what a wonderful training aid for new pups. It was the one recommended by breeder and trainer. I use a bungee cord to hold the door open when it is time for pup to roam in and out of the crate.

Purchased this for our Italian Greyhound puppy. She is our fourth IG, so we’ve been down this road before. Our puppy immediately went into the medium Evolv (30”) on in her own lured with only her blanket and a furrybaby dog bed mat 30x19 on the bottom (perfect fit). So much more inviting and attractive than those black wire gages and crappy plastic boxes. Easy to assembly, easy to keep clean, doors work great and there are no sharp edges. It is her safe place. “Crate training” was not necessary - amazing. We cover the Evolv with a blanket at night to make it even cozier. Bought a second Evolv for upstairs bedroom - we put a standard dog bed with high booster sides in this one.

This crate was expensive but I liked the features described in the description. I am always willing to pay more for top quality and products that deliver on their promise. This product delivers. It is very well made of components that are sturdy. It goes together easily -everything fits together perfectly. It’s a real step up from the usual black wire crates. A few nits. A bit heavy if you need to move it around often. Doesn’t break down quickly but that is the nature of the design. For me, bottom line, worth the cost for what you get.

Tardo en llegar, y por más que pedía actualizaciones, no me respondian. El producto llego bien, y quedé encantada con la jaula, se ve bien, no se ve bromosa y fácil de armar

You can get a crate relevantly cheap, but they aren't very aesthetic. I came across Diggs Rebel and Evolve. Unfortunately the Rebel is over £500 and the Evolve was around £330 so opted for the cheaper one. Yes, it's expensive as it's coming from the US, however, the quality really shows. The cage was easy to put together, is heavy and looks the business. The only negative is that the paint is chipped on the divider and a paint defect on one panel, but hopefully this can be replaced and shouldn't impact the functionality. Positive: looks really nice, not like a prison cell, is heavy duty, easy to assemble and has two doors and it doubles as a play pen. It is a lot of money but if you are crate training and will need using it forever then it is worth it.
