It depends on the crate. Stationary and Separation Anxiety crate doors can switch directions. Due to the nature of the hinge design the Collapsible crates cannot. Contact us with your specific needs and we’ll customize your crate to suit you and your dog.
The aluminum skins we use to build our crates are specifically designed for our listed crate sizes. As a result, we are unable to make custom sizes. We have a list of awesome people who make custom sized dog crates/kennels. Reach out to us and we’d be happy to share their contact information.
Yes! The Stationary and Collapsible crates can become airline compliant with the IATA door guard and airline rails which can be found on our Accessories page. Each airline has specific requirements for flying with pet cargo; we highly recommend contacting your chosen airline in advance.

"Outstanding quality, incredibly easy to set up, and our puppy absolutely loves it. We can’t wait to take it with us on future trips. After going through so many crates over the years, I only wish we had found this one sooner. The design, durability, and convenience are far better than anything we’ve used before. If you’re looking for a travel crate, save yourself the trial and error, this is the one."
"Bought the white collapsible crate. It's not only a good looking crate but sturdy and solid! Our Belgian Malinois is growing fast and with her excitable temperament, gives us confidence she'll be contained and safe. I've had other dogs escape wire crates and in fear for injuries or getting out and into trouble, chose this brand through word of mouth. Glad we chose Rock Creek. Recommending to everyone looking for a REAL dog crate to invest here. If you love your dog, this is the crate you want!"
"Built to out smart your dog - I have had a dog completely destroy other crates. Training 8 month old and is going great. I love that your furry friend is safe for home or while traveling. Shipped super Fast and easy to assemble. 100% satisfied."
"Our escape artist will not be getting out of this crate!! It is well made, looks great and keeps her safe when we are not home. Unfortunately she eats anything she can when not supervised. Socks are her favorite. 😬"
"This is an excellent, well-built crate and perfect for my 62 lb. BT. So easy to set up and take down. The only downside for me is that it is heavier than I anticipated. Even though I knew the weight, I was hoping it would be a little lighter when lifting it into my van once set up. With that said, customer service is outstanding, shipping was quick, and it arrived in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend a Rock Creek crate."
"We bought this crate for traveling with our German Shepherd after she almost escaped from a wire crate while at the beach. This crate is everything we hoped for and she loves it. She can comfortably lay on her back, she’s 85lbs and we got the 42”. The sage green is actually more gray than green but I still love the color."
"Did a lot of research before buying this crate. Our husky puppy had turned into an escape artist with our cheap wire crate and we were at our wits end. She hates the crate, but after using this one for a week she does a lot better. This thing is built like a tank! Even the collapsible one is extremely sturdy and was super easy to set up. After having it for about a week, it's holding up super well. It does have some scratch marks on the paint, but it's all just cosmetic. I think my puppies sharp nails/teeth would scratch anything. Overall, super happy with this purchase and I expect it will literally last a lifetime. That being said, it better for how expensive it is haha!"
"Very satisfied with the whole proces and quality of the crate. Will definitely be purchasing anlther one soon"
"My crate arrived very quickly. Unfortunately during transport it sustained a dent. Unboxed it three days later, and discovered the dent and contacted the company the next business day. They responded immediately and gave me a quick and suitable solution. They actually gave me two options. I am very satisfied with this purchase and the customer service. I had researched other dog crate companies before going with Rock Creek Crates. ( impact crates, kennel boss and others) personally I like to speak to a live person who knows about their items and Sean was very helpful."
"After researching pretty much everything on the market, I couldn't be happier with the Rock Creek. Strapped down in the back of the Tahoe it fits the versatile need of having a safe space during training or deployment and the ability to take down and use during lodging. Strong and durable. And my Bloodhound loves it!"
