I am flying with my service animal next week for the first time. I need to bring her metal crate that folds down with us, is it possible to check this item with our luggage?

You should be able to keeping in mind SW’s checked baggage policies. The item will have to conform to those. Find the details here!

Depending on how it folds, you might be able tp bring it on as a carry on - as long as it's no bigger than 24x16x10. If you have to check it, be sure it's packaged in such a way that it does not sustain damage in the process
