| Dog Crate Buyer’s Guide
What size dog crate should I purchase? Dog crates come in many types and sizes. Typically the height and length of your dog will determine what size dog kennel you should purchase. The ideal size should enable your dog to stand up, without ducking his head below his shoulders and allow your dog to lie down and stretch to his full body length without being cramped. If you are purchasing a wire dog crate for a new puppy you will want to make sure you purchase a dog kennel divider panel. A divider panel adds versatility to your dog kennel and saves you money by allowing you to adjust the size as your puppy grows. If the crate is too big, he may eliminate in one corner, and then go to another corner to sleep. Purchasing a divider panel helps solve this problem and cuts the housebreaking process time in half!
Wire Dog Crates or Plastic Dog Crates? Both types to dog crates have their advantages. Wire dog cages have excellent ventilation, are easy to clean and can be purchased in a folding style which makes storage and transportation easy. On the other hand, dog kennels made of plastic offer the dog privacy and are the only dog crates approved for airline travel.

Home Away from Home - Whether you’re on the road in competition or on vacation, dog crates provide a convenient portable den that offers dogs and owners a safe and stress-free way to travel.
Aid for House Training – Dog kennels can be effective tools when housebreaking your new companion. The underlying reason for this is fairly simple. Dogs normally will not eliminate in the same areas they live. It is important that dog crates are the appropriate size for your dog. If the dog cage is too big, he may soil in it.
Peace of Mind - When unsupervised puppies should be restricted to their dog cages, the kennel can be a valuable tool when you need to run errands or go to work. However, dog crates should not be used to isolate a young puppy for more than 4 hours at a time.
