Double Door Dog Crate<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dog may associate a crate as a doggie jail or as a cozy chamber depending on your perspective and how you use the <em>crate<\/em>. Many dog owners hate the idea of crating their dogs, thinking it is such a cruel thing for their beast friends. On the contrary, the best dog crates can be the safest and most comfortable place for your dog. Dogs have a natural denning instinct that they have inherited from their wolf ancestors. Wolves prefer enclosed quarters as they sleep; this gives them the feeling of security away from predators. This is also true for modern dogs. Therefore, you don\u2019t have to feel bad about leaving your pet locked in a crate. There are multiple benefits a crate can offer. Veterinarians and professional dog trainers both recommend the use of a crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/mlrri4ittqdw.i.optimole.com\/w:233\/h:155\/q:auto\/https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/justin-veenema-132473-unsplash-e1545460244530.jpg\" alt=\"Top 6 Dog Crates\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Using_a_Dog_Crate\"><\/span>Benefits of Using a Dog Crate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Good_Dog_Crate_is_Your_Dogs_Oasis\"><\/span>A Good Dog Crate is Your Dog&#8217;s Oasis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you crate-train your pooch properly, he will consider his <strong>crate<\/strong> as a cozy retreat where he can escape the hustle and bustle going on inside the house. Dogs also need some quiet time alone and away from naughty children. Just like their wolf ancestors, modern dogs need modern dens where they can have a shut eye away from prying eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Dog_Crate_is_a_House-training_Tool\"><\/span>A Dog Crate is a House-training Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Crates<\/strong> are quite handy for house-training dogs who aren\u2019t yet housebroken. When of appropriate size, a <strong>crate<\/strong> serves as a den-like quarter for dogs and dogs naturally want their sleeping quarters free of waste. This encourages control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Crate_Saves_Your_Dog_from_Harm\"><\/span>A Crate Saves Your Dog from Harm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs are often clumsy, and their curiosity causes them more harm than good. Until he is fully housebroken, a <strong>crate<\/strong> will keep your pooch safe and sound during your absence. He won\u2019t be able to befriend poisonous critters or chew on electrical wires. Likewise, this saves you from eye-watering vet treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Puppy_Crate_Encourages_Independence\"><\/span>A Puppy Crate Encourages Independence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs enjoy company, especially from their beloved owners. However, some dogs become nervous without their owners, so they tend to trail beside you as much as they can. Such dogs tend to develop disagreeable habits if not corrected. You can create a safe and homey environment with a <strong>crate<\/strong> by putting rewards there, such as chew toys and a <a href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/best-dog-crate-beds-pads-reviewed\/\">dog crate bed<\/a>. Consider turning on the radio before you leave. You may also use a DAP diffuser beside his <strong>crate<\/strong> to send soothing pheromones around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Crate_Allows_Your_Dog_to_Travel_with_You\"><\/span>A Crate Allows Your Dog to Travel with You<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs love the holidays and get excited just as you do. Putting him in a <strong>crate<\/strong> allows for safer road travel otherwise, he will climb into the front and back, which may cause serious accidents. You can also bring your dog via air travel since some products are airline-approved. Don\u2019t expect your dog to sit next to you, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Crate_Keeps_Your_Furniture_Intact\"><\/span>A Crate Keeps Your Furniture Intact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/best-large-dog-bed-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">large breeds<\/a>, tend to become destructive when bored.

NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate Indoor-Outdoor Pet Home resembles a squeezebox tent for your canine companion. This crate is comprised of thick and tightly woven mesh fabric, industrial zipper locks, and sturdy steel frames. What is more, this crate&#8217;s base is water-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look closely at the product, you\u2019ll be amazed at the sewing quality and the sturdiness of the zippers. Though lightweight, the mesh panels are heavy-duty and well-ventilated to keep your dog feeling cool inside, which is a plus if you live in a humid area.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mlrri4ittqdw.i.optimole.com\/w:293\/h:300\/q:auto\/https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/NOZTONOZ-Sof-Krate-Indoor-Outdoor-Pet-Home.jpg\" alt=\"NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate Indoor\/Outdoor Pet Home Review\" title=\"NOZTONOZ-Sof-Krate Indoor-Outdoor-Pet-Home\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With its unique handy push button tabs, setting up the NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate is child&#8217;s play.

And unlike most soft crates, NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate is fully washable and easy to clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, crates like this one aren\u2019t made for chewers and hyperactive dogs. Soft crates aren\u2019t suitable for chewers. Such crates are named \u2018soft&#8217; for a reason, and that\u2019s because these types of crates are comprised of nylon and mesh panels that a chewer can easily wreck. If your beloved pooch is still trying to cope with separation anxiety issues, providing him with a pet-friendly crate would still be great instead of letting him hurt his teeth as he chews on the cold metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pros<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Lightweight<\/li><li>Mesh panels for ventilation<\/li><li>Includes industrial zippers and metal steel frames<\/li><li>Assembly only takes seconds<\/li><li>Portable<\/li><li>Washable<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"margin-left: 5px !important;\">Unsuitable for chewers and dogs who like to escape<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Petnation_Port-A-Crate_E2_IndoorOutdoor_Pet_Home\"><\/span><a style=\"outline: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0018MM8RC\/?tag=dbz-dog-crates-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-amzn-asin=\"B0018MM8RC\" data-tcb-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0018MM8RC\/?tag=dbz-dog-crates-20\">5.

Finally, Great Dane, Mastiff, St Bernard, Irish Wolfhound, Newfoundland, Borzois, and Great Pyrenees owners can sigh with relief. Searching for an extra, extra large crate can be a challenge due to misleading marketing. When I say it&#8217;s huge, it\u2019s really huge! The unit measures 54&#8243; x 37&#8243; 45&#8243; and weighs roughly 80 pounds. It stands as tall as a 4 ft. kid, which is good to allow more headroom for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gigantic dogs are naturally strong, even gentle giants. How much more for rowdy enormous dogs who love to play Houdini? Hence, MidWest ensures that its product can withstand abuse from rambunctious dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mlrri4ittqdw.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:auto\/https:\/\/dogbedzone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Midwest-Ginormous-Double-Door-Dog-Crate.jpg\" alt=\"Midwest Solution Series &quot;Ginormous&quot; Double Door Dog Crate Review\" width=\"429\" height=\"429\" title=\"Midwest-Ginormous-Double-Door-Dog-Crate\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The MidWest Ginormous dog crate features four drop-pin construction to maximize the crate&#8217;s resilience against the brunt of a heavy, agile dog.

Regardless, a spacious crate such as this one is also ideal for senior dogs and dogs with certain health issues who need temporary confinement. A dog suffering hip dysplasia, for instance, finds it excruciating just to curl up. Hence, it would be ideal for providing him with the extra room where he can turn around, stretch, or just be comfortable the way he wants it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving on, the MidWest Ginormus comes with rubber feet to protect your floor and a durable composite pan that you can easily clean. Price-wise, you can never find a crate this big, durable, yet reasonably priced. It\u2019s quite a bargain considering its size and materials used.

Likewise, it is a vital tool for house training and help teaches a dog ways to relax and become more independent. The best dog crates are also a lifesaver for countless dog owners as it protects their dogs from harm during their absence. No matter how much we love our pets, we can\u2019t always be around to supervise them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, such equipment provides your dog with a sense of security and ownership. It becomes his own private place, much like a bedroom for a child. However, a crate must not be abused. It may create a safe boundary for your dog within your home, but just as you would not spend all your life in one room, your dog should not spend most of his time in his den.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog is well-behaved and non-destructive, you may not opt for heavy-duty crates and go with soft crates instead. Soft crates are more pet-friendly and lightweight, making them the perfect portable crate for long and short trips. Heavy-duty crates are more expensive, and although they can also be transported, it\u2019s a little uncomfortable carrying one around.
