Dog Crate
Long before dogs were domesticated, they often slept in
tiny caves that provided just enough room for warmth and security. Although
many people object to putting their animals in these “cages”,
a dog crate is very comfortable for most animals.
A dog crate should be made out of heavy-duty plastic and heavy, welded-steel
wire. Although there are open wire crates, these don’t provide
the same feeling of shelter as molded, two-piece plastic ones. Plus,
plastic is very lightweight and easy to transport.
A dog crate should be large enough for an animal to stand up and turn
around comfortably. Because of their rapid growth puppies are difficult
to buy for, but there companies that make sectioned crates that can
expand in relation to the size of a dog.
