Dog Crates ShopWithMonty.com

Every dog needs his/her own crate. A dog's crate should be their safe haven, their den, their safe and secure place to rest and sleep.

A crate can also be used to assist in housetraining a puppy. Most dogs will not defecate or urinate in their den, or in the case of your pup, his crate.

You should select a crate that will be big enough for your dog to stand up and turn around, but not too big or the dog will not have the comfort feel of a den.

There are many types of crates, and variations within the types:

Solid plastic crates are usually more suitable than other types for secure travel, such as in an airplane. They might also be safer in a car accident than other types. Disadvantages are that they take up a lot of space and do not fold for storage.
Wire crates usually can be folded for storage or transport, although it might be difficult to do and they are fairly heavy for their size. They provide more airflow for the dog and provide people with a clearer view inside. Such crates are often used in car travel, at veterinary hospitals, and at kennels. There are a variety of covers and pads available to make crates safe and more comfortable.
Soft crates can always be easily folded for storage or transport and are lightweight. They provide the dog with a stronger sense of security but still allow visibility and airflow. They cannot be used with dogs who are likely to dig or chew at the crate, and they are unsuitable for transporting dogs in any type of vehicle.

A crate pad will make the crate more comfortable for your dog.

A crate cart makes travelling in and out of dog show arenas so much more easy! Just load up your dog's crate and wheel it in with your supplies!

Having your dog used to a crate will make it far easier should he/she ever have to spend the night at the vet's where they keep the patients in crates.
