What to consider when choosing the best crate for your dog? Every dog needs a cozy retreat of his own where he can relax in peace and quiet, and escape from stressful situations, whether at home or away.
A well-chosen crate fulfills your dog's basic need for a safe haven, while you enjoy peace of mind knowing that he's secure in his crate–and not getting into trouble–when you're away from home.
Crates also provide a convenient transport and familiar source of comfort when traveling with your dog. They are an invaluable aid in housetraining, as a dog's natural instinct will discourage him from soiling his sleeping area.
Size is an important consideration. A crate should be big enough for your dog to comfortably stand and turn around in. For a growing puppy, it's fine to choose a crate that will accommodate his adult size–just confine your pup to a smaller area of the crate while housetraining.
Our selection of dog crates includes a wide range of sizes, styles and price points to fulfill your every “crate expectation.”
