Fable Dog Crate vs Diggs: What’s The Difference?

Are you in the market for a premium dog crate but you’re unsure whether to invest in a Diggs or Fable dog crate?

There’s no shortage of dog crate options for new pet owners or dog parents who want to upgrade their current setup to improve the furry friend’s quality of life or find a better-designed product.

I’ve been reviewing dog crate for nearly 10 years on my social media and my website, and I’ve seen some great products and some cumbersome designs.

Copper and Skye love having a crate and I regularly find my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs taking a nap inside one of their dens to get away from the craziness in our home with a toddler.

Having got my hands on the Fable and Revol dog crate, I’ve been able to put both pet products through their paces and test them out on my Klee Kai dogs for a number of months.

In this article, we’re going to compare the Fable dog crate with the Revol by Diggs to help pet owners trying to decide between these two popular products.

Diggs Vs Fable Dog Crate: Our Recommendation

Diggs and Fable are two reputable brands in the dog crate marketplace but their designs are very different. Fable offer one crate in different finishes, while Diggs have three products in their dog crate range. For the purposes of this comparison article, I’ll be pitting the Revol against the Fable dog crate.

If I had to pick between these two crates, I would recommend the Fable dog crate because of its elevated appearance. It doesn’t look like a dog crate, but more like a piece of furniture. We’ve had guests come to our home and take a minute to realise what they’re looking at is Copper and Skye’s dog crate.

Like I mentioned above, Copper and Skye love having a den-like feel in their crate. The Fable provided that for my Klee Kai. There’s ample air flow, the crate is extremely sturdy, and Yasmin was happy because it matched the other walnut finishes in our home.

There are potential flaws for some dog owners. The Fable isn’t recommended for big chewers, and it isn’t very portable. It can’t be collapsed and it’s heavy to move. But we got this crate to sit permanently in our living room to give Copper and Skye a safe space when they need a break.

While the Revol is collapsible, the Diggs product does look more like a traditional dog crate. Copper and Skye were skittish whenever I opened or closed the garage-style door. The Revol has increased in price to $599 for the small, going up to $1149 for the large.

The Fable dog crate is more expensive but you can purchase the small size with acrylic gate and signature finish for $799. The prices increase as you go up in size but if you want to invest once in a premium dog crate, I believe it’s worth the cost.

Fable Dog Crate

The Fable dog crate stands out because it doesn’t look like most dog crates. It’s more like a piece of furniture than a pet product. But it doesn’t compromise on functionality with a front door that’s easy to open and close.

There’s ample air flow thanks to the holes in the door, sides and back of the dog crate. We opted for the acrylic gate, which we liked because we could see Copper and Skye at all times in their “den”.

The crate is made from premium wood so it’s extremely sturdy. However, it can be tricky to move for pet owners who struggle lifting heavy items. You’ll likely want to keep it in one place in your home.

Copper and Skye loved having their Fable dog crate to go inside whenever my toddler was getting a little bit too rambunctious or we had a lot of visitors and there was too much stimulation for them.

The Fable dog crate does have some drawbacks. It’s not collapsible and it’s heavy, so you won’t be moving it around a lot or bringing it on road trips. The price is another sticking point.

There’s no getting past the fact that the Fable dog crate is a pricey product. It’s a big investment and one that you’ll want to get right because they don’t accept return considering its a “large furniture item”. It starts at $799 for the cheapest version, and it can go all the way up to $2,500 depending on the size and finish.

However, I believe the Fable dog crate is worth the cost if you’re ready to buy a dog crate that’ll be a permanent fixture in your home and your dog’s life.

The Revol by Diggs

If you’re active on social media, you’ve likely seen the Revol because it’s proven a particular hit with pet owners and pet influencers on Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. It’s easy to see why because the Revol delivers on functionality.

This Diggs crate is collapsible. It takes less than 60 seconds to collapse the crate and put it back up again. It’s really that simple so the Revol is perfect if you need a crate that you can move around.

There are three entry points – the front door, garage-style door and the roof. As I mentioned above, Copper and Skye were skittish whenever I used the garage-style door. That’s something to consider if you’ve got anxious dogs like me.

While you can store the Revol when collapsed in your garage, a big closet (depending on the size of your crate), or roll it to your car if you want to use it in your trunk, it’s also cumbersome to carry. It does have wheels on one side but Yasmin still found it hard to move.

The Revol can’t compete with Fable’s design. Ultimately, the Revol looks like a dog crate so it’ll be harder to blend into your home’s interior design.

Diggs have increased their prices since we first reviewed their crates, raising the price from mid-range to premium in this particular pet product category. The Revol small is available at $599 (previously $375), increasing to $1149 (formerly $675) for the large crate.

Wrapping Up

We’ve reached the end of our dog crate comparison, taking a close look at the Fable dog crate and the Revol.

We’d recommend the Fable dog crate for the reasons outlined above, and ultimately, if you’re going to pay nearly $600 for a dog crate, I’d want a crate that has style and functionality.
