Ideal dog crate can be easy to clean, durable and offers good ventilation and visibility. Following are some tips to choose a dog crate for your dog.
- Dog crate designs that fold may be useful for travel situations.
- The bottom of the dog crate can be solid or raised. Raised floors keep your dog elevated over a solid pan that will catch any food, water, or waste that would otherwise accumulate in your dog's living space.
- If you have a puppy, choose a crate size that will accommodate his as an adult and allow enough room for him to stand, lie down, or sit in any position in the crate without restriction. Since puppies grow, consider a design that can be sectioned off to allow for expansion.
- Plastic dog crates are easy to clean, durable but offer less ventilation than a wire frame crate. Most are airline approved for travel.
- When you put your dog in a crate, remove his collar so there is no chance of it getting hocked or stuck thus trapping or choking your dog.
- Scrutinize the design. When selecting a wire frame crate, consider the size of the wire; be sure your dog's paws won't fall through the grid. Also, check for any sharp edges. Check the front door to see if it is spring loaded, these doors can snap shut on a paw or tail.
