How to choose the correct box size for my dog?
I need to get a cheap, lightweight, portable crate in which my dog during the events of agility. How to choose the right size for her? She is 35 pounds, but very high and the ears are large and upright - has box need to be high enough for your ears, or have to duck your head? Thanks!
As a general rule, your dog should be able to sit, stop and turn around in its box. If your dog gets up, but has to duck his head, that's fine - especially if you are only using short-term housing in agility events or for transporting your dog in.
How To Choose The Right Transport Dog Crate
There are different types of transport dog crates available out there to choose from but the one thing that should be at the top of your mind is how comfortable your dog will be in the dog crates. If you buy small dog crates for larger dogs then your dog might feel uncomfortable and even suffocated and this will not only affect his temperament but also make him grumpy. Most of the transport dog crates have been created keeping in mind the requirement of dogs of different sizes.
While picking up dog crates, you need to take into consideration the height as well as the length of your dog. You should keep in mind that the transport dog crates should be big enough for your dog to lie down and even stand up without having to duck his head. He should also be able to lie down without feeling cramped. If you have a puppy then you can always buy wire dog crates with a dog kennel divider panel. The main advantage of having a divider panel is that it will add more versatility to the dog crates as well as help you save money. Using the divider panel, you can adjust the size of the transport dog crates according to the growth of your puppy.
There are different types of transport dog crates available but they can all be classified into three primary groups:
Plastic Dog Crates: The plastic transport dog crates are mostly made from durable polypropylene and have chrome plated steel doors as well as chrome-plated ventilation side panels. These dog crates also have a leak-proof bottom. One of the best things about plastic crates is that they can be assembled without tools and go together in minutes. They are great for housebreaking puppies and the bottom half can be used alone as a pet bed. Plastic dog crates offer the dog privacy and are the only dog kennel approved for airline travel.
Metal Dog Crates: Metal dog crates provide the strength and durability serious gundog owners look for when selecting a dog transport box. Our metal dog crates are pre-assembled and ready to transport your hunting dog in the back of your pick-up truck or SUV. When selecting a metal dog box you should select a model large enough for your puppy or dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down with a water bowl.
Wire Dog Crates: Wire dog crates are easy to clean, having a tough rust-proof ABS plastic pan which slides out for easy maintenance. These dog cages provide maximum ventilation and security. Portable dog crates have the advantage of being able to fold-down to a suitcase size for easy storage and portability. Our Midwest Folding Dog Cages come with doors that overlap the frame and are secure with two slide bolt latches making these dog kennels extremely sturdy.
