Choosing the Best Dog Crate for Your Dog

When selecting a crate for your dog it is important to remember that this crate will be your dogs den. When dogs choose a den in the wild, it is small, not much larger than the dog itself, so that the dog does not feel exposed. The correct size crate for your dog will give them just enough room to enter, turn around and lie down comfortably. It should be no more than 3-5 inches above their head when they are sitting up, and should have no more than a few inches around the perimeter when they are laying down. To determine the best dimensions you will measure your dog from nose to tail to give you the overall length and width, and you will measure from the floor to the top of your dogs head to determine the correct height.

Plastic Crates are a great option for your dogs first crate. They are light weight and easily portable, making them great for travel. Plastic Crates are also easy to clean and very durable. Plastic Crates with a solid bottom half are great for dogs that are nervous, especially smaller dogs, because they will feel much less exposed.
