HOME AND TRAVEL COLLAPSIBLE DOG CRATE

In an embodiment, a collapsible and portable pet crate has a rear, top, bottom, folding side, and front panels. The assembled crate may be collapsed by lifting the top panel and pressing the forward panel towards the rear panel as the side panels fold, folding the top panel over the front panel, and then folding the bottom panel over the front panel. Sliding hinges may be provided at the junction between the bottom plate and the rear plate to enable a smaller profile for the collapsed crate. Latches may be provided to secure the crate in the assembled and collapsed configurations. The rear wall may include wall mounting attachment(s), for example, magnetic assemblies that can be mated with another magnetic mounting on the user's wall for easy storage and/or enable collapsing the crate in much the same way as a Murphy bed.
