Dog crate

Dog crates are designed to replicate a dog's natural den and as such can provide them with a place of refuge at home or when traveling to new surroundings.

[1][2] Using a crate for a dog is similar to having a playpen for a toddler or a crib for a baby, and allows the owner to take their eyes off their pet.

[3] However, misuse (such as prolonged locking) can cause the dog psychological harm.

[4] Along with dog’s crate it is also important that there is proper bed/bedding so that the dogs are comfortable and don’t feel the urge to get out of the crate.

[6][7][8] Factors to consider when choosing an appropriate crate include cost, durability, portability, safety, and style.
