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.
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.
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.
style - the majority of crates on the market today are folding dog crates. These crates fold easily with no removable parts, making them portable and easy to move or transport. Drop-pin dog crates have separate panels that are secured together with a drop-pin in some or all of the corners (depending upon brand). These dog crates are typically used by pet owners who intend to set up their homes and leave them in one place. Drop-pin dog crates are easy to set up and require no tools for assembly.
brands - we carry well known brands that you trust for quality design and affordability such as Midwest Homes for Pets, General Cage and Precision Pet. These well established companies are industry leaders in the manufacture of dog crates and representative of the most highly recognizable brands of crates in the marketplace today.
special uses - if you frequently travel with more than a single pet, side by side crates are narrow, allowing two to fit side by side in most SUV type vehicles. Stacking crates might also be an option in some travel situations but would primarily be used in a multi-dog, limited space situation.
special features - if you are crate training a new puppy, you'll find a divider panel useful so might want to consider a crate that includes a free divider panel. Perhaps you prefer a crate that includes or offers optional metal pans to fit. If you prefer to buy a product made in America, you'll find that here as well.
