Product Information

You may not always have a need for a dog crate. You may be perfectly happy with your dog roaming anywhere they wish inside your home and you may spend most of your time together so rarely need to keep them confined. By investing in a foldable dog crate, however, you can still give your options open. When the need to confine arises, you will know that you have a crate on hand. The rest of the time, you can store it away, knowing it will fold down and take up less space. Large dogs typically require a crate that is anywhere from 36” to 42” long. If you just adopted a puppy, you will want to consider how big they will become. You don’t want your crate to be too large for your puppy, but some of the options on are list are expandable to account for your growing puppy. To best determine which size will be best for your dog, measure them from the top of their head to the floor, then the base of his nose to the tip of his tail. This will give you a precise measurement so you can choose the best crate for your dog. 5 Components to Look for in a Dog Crate We recommend using a measuring tape to work out the length of your dog from its nose to the tip of its tail and then add on an extra four inches. You’ll then want to repeat this process when they’re sitting down to get their height, once again adding on four inches. Apart from practical design elements like a removable tray—more on that below—you’ll also want to consider the overall look of your potential crate. Your dog’s crate is most likely something you and your family will be seeing often, after all.

We like that this crate is lightweight and durable. While the frame is made of steel, ventilated mesh panels and a water resistant base make it an overall great value. The design is adorable, with a bone shaped window, and the corners are rounded for a contemporary look. The rounded corners are also beneficial when using this crate in your vehicle. This large crate from Firstrax is extremely versatile and budget-friendly. Still undecided about which crate will be best for your large breed dog? Take a look at the components below to narrow down your decision:If you’re looking for a luxurious and incredibly durable dog crate, we recommend the Diggs Revol Collapsible Dog Crate. This crate collapses when you twist the top handle, and the sides lift up, offering multiple access points for your pet. So, when shopping for a crate, you’ll want to consult a dog crate size chart, considering your dog’s shape and size. Those with puppies might opt for a crate that comes with divider panels, which allow the crate to grow with your pooch (and also come in handy for training).

Dividers are a great way for your crate to grow with your dog, reducing the need to buy a new crate several times a year. As your puppy grows, you can adjust the amount of living space to suit her needs. Additionally, if you have two dogsthat don’t get along, you can use a divider to split up their crate. Just make sure that each pup has enough space to do its thing.We like the intuitive design and the heavy-duty crate is hard to budge once in place, even with 45 pounds of force directed at the door in our lab testing environment. Throwing multiple sandbags at the crate also did not impact its structure or appearance.

If you have an especially reactive pup, keep in mind that the door to this crate may bend slightly with excessive force. While testing with roughly 68 pounds of force pulled against it, the door showed a slight bend, but overall we were impressed by the door’s durability and latch strength. This crate does not have a removable tray, but its plastic interior still make it relatively easy to clean, except for a few tight corners.When it comes to assembling the crate, the good news is it comes with tools to help you set-up and you can choose which end the smaller of the double doors will open from which is a nice touch. Overall the crate is very durable and designed to endure—it didn’t budge or break when a sandbag was thrown on top of it and at the front of it. Long term maintenance and cleaning will likely require the use of a handheld vacuum to target the smaller nooks and crannies within the crate’s frame. You can choose from small and medium sizes, with a white or acrylic gate. When not in use, the door can be stored overhead within the crate (similar to the way a garage door works), so your pooch can go in and out as they please. This is a gorgeous crate for pups for whom their crate is a go-to relaxation spot, and you want to position it somewhere in the home where humans spend a lot of time as well.

These are simple questions, but are all questions that you need to consider. Answering these will help you to create a picture of the dog crate you need and want for your pet pooch, which in turn will help you to make the right choice to keep you and your dog happy. For example, a wire crate is great for home use and if you’re going to be taking your dog in the car with you as it offers excellent visibility. However, if you and your fur friend do a lot of flying, you may prefer to opt for a plastic or soft-sided crate that complies with airline regulations. Is it cruel to crate a dog during the day?

The Casual Home Pet Crate End Table is available in four wood finishes to complement your home decor while providing a cozy den for your dog. The smallest size of this crate can accommodate dogs up to 18 pounds inside and the top surface, used as an end table, can support up to 120 pounds. The extra-large version can fit dogs up to 90 pounds and support 200 pounds on top. The only downside we found is the door does bend slightly when it’s pulled on, not significant enough for a dog to bust through the door, but it’s still a worthy concern for any owners with especially excitable or high-strung pooches. Despite this one design concern, we’d still recommend this crate as a reliable and basic option that’s sure to last you multiple years and withstand pet wear and tear over time.
