wire dog crates

all wire crates - this is our entire selection of wire dog crates. Please see additional shopping tabs above to refine your selection. Remember that we also have soft dog crates, aluminum dog crates, airline approved kennels and wood dog crate furniture.

door setup - consider the door configuration when choosing your dog crate. If you have a small space that is better situated to having a door on the side rather than the end, then you might want to consider a single side door version or a two door version which provides both a side and end door. Triple door crates add even more flexibility and are great if you want to house two dogs in a single crate (size permitting of course). With the use of a divider panel in a three door crate, you can access each dog independently from the end doors.

which strength crate is best?

light duty dog crates are appropriate for new puppies that will be crate trained from the start (applies to wire crates only) and well behaved dogs who have already been crate trained. Light duty wire crates are usually made with lighter gauge wire and with wider spacing between wires. For this reason, light weight wire crates are usually more economically priced than other strengths.

medium duty dog crates are appropriate for new puppies that will be crate trained from the start, older puppies and for breeds with a mild to average temperament. Compared to light duty, medium duty wire crates will generally contain a larger quantity of heavier gauge wire and with closer spacing between wires. Medium duty crates are the best selling strength with a range of price, door and finish options.

heavy duty dog crates are appropriate for adult dogs that have never been crate trained and for active or aggressive breeds. Compared to medium duty, heavy duty wire crates will contain a larger quantity of heavier gauge wire and with closer spacing between the wires. Heavy duty crates are often the choice of professional breeders and handlers and are available in a range of price, door and finish options.

finish options - if it makes a difference to you how well the crate will compliment your home décor, there are several wire crate finish options including black, chrome, gold, textured and white.
