Zikopomi Soft Dog Crate, 36-Inch

For a weekend trip, a visit to the park, or a quieter spot at home, a portable crate can give your dog a familiar enclosed space without the bulk of a rigid kennel.

The Zikopomi soft dog crate folds down for storage and has a carry handle for moving it between the house and the car.

Need an easy setup when you reach your destination? It unfolds without tools, and its mesh panels let you keep an eye on your dog.

Best use cases

This crate is aimed at small and medium dogs, with listed dimensions of 36" L x 25" W x 25" H. It can suit indoor use, outdoor outings, and travel when you want a collapsible enclosure rather than a fixed crate. Picture setting it up at a relative’s house, then rolling up a mesh door so your dog can see the room while you stay nearby.

Two zippered doors offer more than one way in and out. The mesh doors can be rolled up and secured with Velcro to increase airflow, and the built-in safety leash attaches to a dog’s collar to help keep them inside. That attachment is a feature of the crate, not a substitute for choosing the right size or supervising your dog.

You’ll appreciate it if portability and compact storage matter more than a hard-sided structure. Better avoided if your dog needs a rigid enclosure or tends to chew or push at fabric panels, the listing doesn’t describe this as a hard-sided or chew-resistant crate.

Product specs

The crate uses 600D Oxford fabric, stainless steel poles, and a PVC-coated lining. It comes in light gray and measures 36" L x 25" W x 25" H. The listing describes four high-density mesh panels, two zippered doors, a carry handle, and a built-in safety leash. It can be folded for storage, and the lining can be wiped or rinsed clean.

Those details point to a setup designed to be moved and packed away, not left assembled as a permanent fixture. The maker says no tools are needed to unfold it. There’s no listed weight or packed-down measurement, so the product details don’t establish exactly how compact or light it will feel when carried.

Where it shines

The main appeal is the combination of fold-away storage and multiple mesh openings. At home, it can provide a contained resting area, on a trip, the handle and collapsible frame make it easier to bring along than a crate meant to stay in one place. Opening a mesh door and securing it with the Velcro gives you a simple way to increase airflow while checking on your dog.

The fabric construction also changes the buying tradeoff. Compared with a rigid kennel, this design prioritizes portability and storage space. In return, it may not be the right format for a dog that needs a more solid barrier. Cleaning is described as a wipe or rinse, but the listing does not specify machine washing or drying instructions. The safety leash is also a built-in collar attachment, so it’s worth considering whether that arrangement suits your dog.

Buying verdict

According to the maker, the materials are chosen for durability, but the listing doesn’t provide testing details or a weight limit. The size is the clearest decision point: compare the stated dimensions with your dog’s needs and the space where you plan to set the crate up before choosing it.

This is a practical fit if you want a soft-sided kennel that folds away and can travel between indoor and outdoor settings. Choose a different style if a rigid frame or a specified weight capacity is essential to your decision. The Zikopomi’s strengths are its two zippered entrances, visible mesh sides, and pack-away design, its fabric format is also the main reason it won’t suit every dog or every use.
