By Marcus Bell · Dog nutrition editor · Published 2026-05-19 · Updated 2026-06-22
Gardner Pet's 36 inch soft crate bundles in a fleece bed and 2 storage bags at a reasonable price, but with only a single review so far, it's really too early to call this a proven pick.
Owners who want a lightweight, collapsible crate for travel with a bed and storage bags included, and are comfortable trying a newer listing.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
['This Gardner Pet crate is a 36 by 25 by 25 inch soft sided, collapsible design made from nylon, built for medium to large dogs and marketed for both indoor and outdoor use. It comes with 2 storage bags and a fleece bed included, which adds value compared to crates that only include the frame and cover.', 'The collapsible construction means it folds down for storage or transport far more easily than a metal wire crate, making it a reasonable pick for travel or temporary setups rather than a permanent home base. The grey color and included fleece bed give it a more finished, ready to use feel out of the box.', "At $50.99, it's competitively priced for a soft crate that bundles in a bed and storage bags. However, it currently shows only 1 review, even with a perfect 5.0 star rating and about 100 bought in the past month, so there simply isn't enough feedback yet to know how it holds up over time."]

Performance notes
The bundled fleece bed and 2 storage bags are the main value adds here, since many soft crates in this category are sold as just the frame and cover. The collapsible nylon build folds down quickly for travel, but as with any fabric crate, it won't hold up to a dog that chews or scratches at it the way a metal frame would.
What buyers say
With only 1 review on record, the perfect 5.0 star rating isn't yet a meaningful signal either way, so it's worth treating this as an early stage listing and checking back for more reviews before relying on the current score.
