You may have heard that dogs are den animals and in stressful times they look to their crate for comfort. This den-like structure is provides a safe place to sleep but it’s also a stress-free zone.

Wire Dog Crates

Wire dog crates are functional, but they are not fashionable. These crates are basic and generally cannot be customized. They are also usually collapsible, which means they are not particularly sturdy or strong.

Soft-sided Dog Crates

The soft side crates are are light-weight, and may be great to use while traveling but they can be harder to clean, easier to escape by curious pups and easier to chew by destructive animals.

Plastic Crates

Like soft sided crates, these can be useful while traveling. There are crates that can be fitted to your car or truck for transporting your dogs, and there are portable crates that are great for taking your dog to the vet or groomer. However, these are not ideal for your dog’s place in your home. They generally come in standard sizes and colors and cannot be customized for your dog’s needs or your decor

Heavy Duty Crates

Aluminum, steel, and impact resistant kennels are another option to consider, especially if your dog has behavioral issues. When selecting a kennel for transportation, please review the safety information carefully to make sure you get the best crate for your intended purpose.
