Types of Dog Crates
Dog crates come in a large variety of types and sizes and it is important to ensure the correct types of dog crates are chosen to suit your purpose. A sufficient amount of space must also be provided for your dog but not so much that your dog has room to sleep at one end and soil the other.
Plastic Dog Crates
Plastic dog crate types are light, durable and many designs can be dismantled for storage. Plastic dog crates provide insulation for your dog which makes them the perfect choice in cooler climates or for small and short-haired breeds. Many dogs are more settled in plastic dog crates as they have fewer openings for your dog to see through and become distracted. Dog crates made from plastic are also very easy to clean and many plastic dog crate types can even be approved by airlines for travel by plane. |

Wire Dog Crates
Wire dog crate types are very strong and can be folded for storage. These crates are suitable for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and provide plenty of fresh air and ventilation. Wire dog crates often come with dividers so you can alter the size of the dog crate as your puppy grows, and slide out trays to make cleaning very convenient. As wire dog crates are heavier than other dog crate types, they are a great choice for traveling with your dog by car and the excellent visibility provided by their mesh design makes them perfect for dog shows. Covers and pads can be also be added to wire dog crates to increase comfort. |

Aluminium Dog Crates
Aluminium dog crate types provide a very strong and rust proof enclosure and are generally manufactured to be lightweight and foldable for storage. These dog crates are also popular for dog shows as ventilation and visibility in aluminium dog crates is impressive, though not superior to that of wire dog crates. Aluminium dog crates are available in anodised and powder-coated varieties which allows for a greater range of designs and colours to choose from. |

Soft Dog Crates
Soft dog crate types are the lightest options available, with foldable and popup designs offered for easy storage. These dog crates are made from fabric, foam and a lightweight metal frame to give the crate structure. Soft dog crates are often designed with travel in mind so many varieties have added features to securely attach to your car for safety. Soft dog crates come in a great variety of fashionable colours and shapes, though they may not be suitable for the initial stages of crate training as chewing and digging may damage the fabric. |
