DUMOS 36in Dog Crate Review — Medium Double-Door

Intro

I’m The Pet Dude and I live for practical gear that makes life with dogs easier. The DUMOS 36 Inch Dog Crate is a medium-size, metal wire kennel marketed for indoor and outdoor use with a long list of convenience features: two doors, a removable plastic leak-proof pan tray, a partition plate, foldable design, and a rust-resistant coated finish. In this review I’ll walk through what the product actually is, how it performs in daily life, the build and safety points that matter, and who should consider this crate — and who should skip it.

What it is / first look

On paper the DUMOS D36IN is a straightforward, mid-size basic crate. The listing gives these concrete specs: the crate measures 36 x 22.64 x 24.2 inches and weighs 25.9 pounds. It’s described as a 36 inch medium double door dog cage with a plastic leak-proof pan tray and a folding metal wire kennel suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The manufacturer/brand is DUMOS and the model number is D36IN.

Here are the headline features the listing presents:

• Rounded corners to eliminate sharp edges
• Durable metal wire construction with a protective black coat finish
• Double-door design (front and side) with heavy-duty sliding bolt latches
• Removable plastic tray with a deep lip designed to prevent overflow
• Foldable / collapsible design that folds flat to less than 3" thickness and includes an attachable carrying handle
• Partition plate included and adjustable to resize the internal living area
• Listed uses: Indoor and Outdoor

Visually and spec-wise, it’s positioned as a basic, functional crate for medium-breed dogs with a focus on portability and easy cleaning. The listing also calls out that the tray will not stain, warp, corrode or retain pet odors, and that the crate is designed for pet training, resting and playing.

In daily use

Because the listing highlights indoor and outdoor use plus portability, I consider the DUMOS crate primarily a daily-living option for medium dogs who need a temporary or semi-permanent kennel indoors or a stowable crate for travel and storage.

Setup & portability

The listing says the crate assembles quickly and collapses into a flat unit less than 3" thick, and that it comes with an attachable carrying handle. For owners who need to break down and move the crate or stow it away between uses, those details matter: fold-flat portability is a genuine convenience when storage space is limited or when you’re transporting a kennel between house and car.

Access, doors, and daily handling

There are two doors — a front and a side door — so the crate supports crossover placement in a room and gives multiple access points. Each door has a heavy-duty sliding bolt latch to lock the door in place. The listing emphasizes a large door opening and a low threshold, which should make entry and exit easier for most medium dogs and for puppies transitioning to crate use.

Cleaning and maintenance

The removable plastic tray has a deep lip intended to prevent overflow and, per the listing, will not stain, warp, corrode or retain pet odors. The listing also notes the whole cage can be wiped clean. For anyone who wants low-effort cleanup after accidents or muddy paws, that tray plus a wipe-downable wire frame is the main selling point here.

Adjustability during growth

The crate includes a partition plate that can be secured and disassembled easily so you can adjust the internal living area as your dog grows. The listing specifically says the partition makes it easy to adjust the size of the internal living area where your pet grows. It also suggests that if you have two pets you can assign activity areas by their size, using the partition to divide the space.

Materials & build quality

The product page lists the material type as "Metal" and describes a protective, long-lasting black coat finish intended to be rust-resistant. The listing also calls the construction durable and emphasizes rounded corners to eliminate sharp points. Those are the build claims you should use when evaluating fit for your home.

Concrete, listing-backed notes about build and finish:

• Material type: Metal (the listing does not specify the exact metal alloy or gauge)
• Protective black coat finish described as long-lasting and rust-resistant
• Rounded corners to reduce sharp edges and protect floors
• Plastic removable tray designed with a deep lip to prevent overflow and resist staining, warping, corrosion and odor retention
• Included components called out: Dog Crate and User Manual

That gives a picture of a basic metal kennel finished for corrosion resistance and user-friendly cleaning. The listing does not provide metal thickness, weld quality photographs, or structural load ratings, so if you need those details the listing is silent and you’ll want to contact the manufacturer for specifics.

Safety considerations

Pet safety is my top priority and the listing addresses several points directly. Here’s what the product copy says that matters for safety:

• Rounded corners: The crate is designed with rounded corners to eliminate sharp edges and reduce the risk of collisions and scratches.
• Latch design: Each door includes a heavy-duty sliding bolt latch to securely lock it in place.
• Low threshold and large door opening: The listing mentions a large door opening and low threshold to make entry and exit easier for pets.
• Removable tray: The tray has a deep lip to prevent overflow and is described as resisting stains, warping, corrosion and pet odors — important where liquid spills or accidents occur.
• Rust-resistant finish: A protective, long-lasting black coat finish and a rust-resistant description are called out for outdoor use.

What the listing does not specify (and you should check before buying): weight/load capacity, the exact metal type and gauge, whether the latches are escape-proof for high-drive chewers, and whether replacement parts are available from the manufacturer. If your dog is an escape artist, a heavy chewer, or if you need the crate for continuous outdoor exposure, the listing doesn’t provide a tested stress rating or material specification — it only describes the finish as rust-resistant and the latch as heavy-duty.

Who this is for / who should skip

The listing gives a clear breed recommendation: Medium. It also lists specific uses: Indoor, Outdoor. Use those two points as your primary fit heuristics.

Who this fits well

• Owners of medium-breed dogs who want a foldable, portable crate with two doors for easy room placement.
• People who need a crate that’s straightforward to clean: the removable plastic tray with a deep lip is built for easy wipe-downs and to minimize odor or staining, per the listing.
• Households that want flexibility: the included partition plate lets you resize the internal area as your dog grows or assign space if you have two pets by size, according to the listing.
• Owners who need a crate they can store flat or transport: the listing describes a collapsible design that folds less than 3" thick and includes an attachable carrying handle.

Who should skip or verify before buying

• If you need a crate rated for very large breeds, the listing specifically recommends medium dogs, so this is not designed for large-breed adult dogs.
• If you require detailed metal-gauge, weight-capacity, or chewer-proof certification, the listing does not provide those technical specs — contact the manufacturer or look for a heavy-duty labeled alternative.
• If you expect continuous heavy-duty outdoor exposure in harsh climates, the listing notes a rust-resistant finish but does not provide longevity testing data — consider confirming finish details with the manufacturer.

Verdict

As presented in the listing, the DUMOS 36 Inch Dog Crate is a practical, no-frills medium-size metal kennel aimed at owners who want portability, easy cleaning and flexibility. The combination of double-door access, a removable leak-proof tray with a deep lip, a partition plate for resizing the interior, and a fold-flat design with carrying handle all point to convenience-oriented design for everyday use.

Strengths called out in the product copy include rounded corners, a protective black coat finish described as rust-resistant, and heavy-duty sliding bolt latches on both doors. The crate targets medium dogs and states it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The removable tray is explicitly described as resisting stains, warping, corrosion and odor retention, which matters for hygiene and maintenance.

Limits of the listing: the manufacturer lists material type as metal but does not specify alloy, wire gauge, or load ratings. There’s no explicit statement about chewer resistance or replacement-part availability. If those are deal-breakers, you’ll need to seek clarified specs from DUMOS or look for a crate with detailed engineering specs.

Check before you buy

• Compare the crate dimensions (36 x 22.64 x 24.2 inches) to your dog’s measurement to confirm the medium size is appropriate for your pet.
• Confirm the crate’s double-door layout will fit where you intend to place it (front and side door swing and clearance).
• If you plan extended outdoor use, verify the finish and rust-resistant claims meet your climate needs — the listing describes a rust-resistant black coat finish but does not provide longevity testing data.
• Check whether the included partition plate gives the internal sizing you need for a growing puppy or for dividing space between two pets by size, per the listing’s description.
• Confirm you’re okay with the listed material description (Metal) and the lack of a specific metal gauge if you need heavy-duty or chewer-proof equipment.

Colors

The product listing specifies the crate color as Black. Based on the listing color field and the product images, available color in the listing is:

Final thoughts from The Pet Dude

I treat crate purchases like furniture: they should be safe, easy to maintain, and appropriate for the size and behavior of your dog. From the listing copy alone, the DUMOS 36in crate hits those convenience boxes — fold-flat portability, a removable leak-proof tray with a deep lip, a partition plate for growth management, and a rust-resistant, coated metal finish. If you have a medium dog and need a crate that’s easy to move, store, and clean, the listing positions this model as a solid basic choice.

If your dog is a determined chewer, you need large-breed capacity, or you require detailed materials engineering (wire gauge, load rating), the listing doesn’t provide those specifics, so I recommend confirming with DUMOS or choosing a crate explicitly marketed and spec’d for heavy-duty or large-breed use.

That covers the DUMOS crate as presented. Below are quick answers to common pre-purchase questions based on the listing text.
