In a pet-friendly culture, you see man's best
friend everywhere- in homes, parks, spas

privileges within the community that they

work and other specific purposes. So, for
dog's on-the-go, the most essential

crucial to choose the right crate for your dog.

empty corner.
The key points in buying a crate are to get
the right size and should be comfortable for your dog to lay and stand inside it. One
way to get the right size for your kennel is to take measurements. First, determine
the height by taking the measurement from the shoulder of your pet down to the
floor. The second is to take the length by measuring head to the base of the tail.
Once you get the measurements, add three inches to both height and length, then,
you will have the minimum dimensions of the kennel that you should buy. If you
have a puppy, think about buying a wire crate that has a divider.

adjust it as he grows. There are several basic crate types available in pet stores.

crates are designed for big canines. They are resilient enough to hold these dogs in.

pre-assembled. If you are considering a metal crate, look for the one with good
airflow. Some aluminum crates are approved for air travel so check with your airline
for guidelines.
