Selecting The Best Luxury Dog Crates

By Annabelle Holman


A dog crate is not a cage and should never be used to punish a pet. It is a place where pets can go to let down their guard and relax to sleep, knowing that they are secure and will not be disturbed. Pet owners expect the best for their dogs and this demand has resulted in the availability of many types of luxury dog crates.

There are a number of purposes for which a crate can be used. It can be a safe haven in a living area or a place for temporary confinement while traveling. It can be used as a training aid, particularly to teach puppies to be alone or help with toilet training. It can be used after surgery to keep a pet quiet and safe. The type of crate purchased will depend on its purpose.

When it comes to purchasing a crate, it is important to consider the dimensions. If buying one from an online store, these dimensions are clearly stated in the product description. It is no use purchasing one and then finding that it is too small. The pet must feel comfortable when lying down and stretching, sitting or standing. It should also be able to turn around without difficulty or it may feel too confined.

Materials such as wood, wicker, steel and tightly woven mesh fabric can all be used to construct these items. It does not matter what material is used as long as it is durable and safe for the pet with enough air flow. It should also be simple to keep clean, preferably with a tough, removable pan.

Some of the items being created today are designed with a dual function. They not only provide a safe space for a pet but are beautifully constructed of wood and can be used as furniture too. One can be used as a nightstand, for example, providing a great way of keeping a pup close at night. Some are made to be used as end tables in a living room. This provides a stylish option and allows pets to be in the house without taking up extra space.

Many different designs are available. Some people prefer to have a design that offers good visibility so the pet can see what is going on around them. Such visibility is offered in a design with a solid top that doubles as a table top but with mesh sides. Wooden slats are another option. There are even very contemporary steel designs with a solid top that functions as a table top. The arrangement of doors has to allow the owner maximum convenience. An option to open the crate at the side or in front means that it can fit unobtrusively into a corner.

If the crate is intended mainly for transportation, it should be light in weight and easy to set up. A soft-sided portable one made from a tightly woven mesh fabric fits these requirements. A crate with built in wheels and pull handles is most convenient when traveling.

The latest products on the market are engineered to make a pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible while at the same time conserving space and adding style to any room. They are decorative but pets love them too as they are extremely functional. They have come a long way from unattractive mass market offerings.
