I love this crate, our 46 lb dog loves this crate, the lid goes up, the area where the water bowls sit swivels around on its side door to go out or in the cage. You can fit the bowls that come with the cage or other bowls. The front opening gate is large and the 2 big trays underneath are great for anything loose that slipped through. Just remember to get a very thick mat to lay down inside since it is metal. It has wheels so it rolls easy unless you lock them. Our Pitt will just go right into her comfy cage.  The best!! So easy to put together too.
