Dog crates come with many different features so that you can customize your dog's
personal space to its needs and preferences. The variety will also help you get
the most of what you want out of a large dog crate in terms of accessibility, travel
potential and ease of assembly.
Drop Pin Dog Crates
Drop pin dog crates are made up of six sides (the four "walls," "ceiling"
and "floor") and attached at four corners with drop pins. This type
of dog crate is very easy to construct as it requires no tools. Drop pin crates
are most beneficial for owners who intend to set up the crate and leave it in
one place.
Soft Sided Dog Crates
A soft sided dog crate provides an extra comfortable environment for your dog.
Just as it sounds, the sides of the crate are extra soft which is cozier for the
dog in general and also very helpful when traveling. For example, should the dog
be pushed into the side of the crate on a sharp turn, the soft sides will prevent
discomfort.
Folding Dog Crates
Fold and carry dog crates are a snap to construct. Folding dog crates are best
for dog owners who intend to use the crate as means for their pet traveling with
them. Many folding crates come with soft sides, making them ideal for travel.
Airline Approved Dog Crates
Many different types of dog crates are airline approved. It is important to consider
which airline you will be using as the different companies have different guidelines.
The main idea behind airline approved dog crates is to keep the dog protected,
comfortable and calm during travel.
Dog Crates with Multiple Doors
Dog crates with double or even triple doors allow owners to access the dog from
many different directions. Doors are on either end or side of the crate so that
you can let the dog in or out from many directions. This is helpful when traveling
and also in the home as it makes the crate less of a stationary affair and even
provides variety for your dog. |  |
