When looking to buy a dog cage it can be quite confusing as there are so many different dog cages out there to buy. There are numerous to choose from such as the large, heavy duty travel cages, to the smaller, cute, decorative types that look more like a piece of furniture.
The folding wire cages are one of the most popular and usually cheapest models around. They are very useful for crate training your dog and for travelling. They are open on all sides which can be a disadvantage as it does not provide a quiet area for your pet to retreat to. This can be remedied though by simply placing a blanket over the cage.
A popular chice nowadays is the soft dog cage. They are popular because they look cute and thay are nice and warm and cozy for your dog. Although they are quite durable, you may run into problems if your dog likes to chew things or is going to grow a lot bigger. They are ideal for the smaller breeds of dogs.
The wicker dog cage is one of my favorites which will quite easily complement living room furniture. If you are looking for something that will be mostly used indoors, these are a good choice. As with the soft cages, the wicker types are mostly suitable for the smaller dog.
For transporting dogs in vehicles, one of the most popular types used is the plastic dog cage. They have vents at the sides and top and a door at the front. They cost a bit more than the other types, so if you are going to invest your money it is worthwhile getting one that is airline carrier approved. I find this type of cage better fro travelling in cars than the wire type.
When finally going out and buying your new dog cage you also need to consider the size of your dog, his tendencies and habits. If you have a large dog or one that is a chewer, especially if he is going to spend a lot of time in the cage, I would recommend a plastic one.
Whatever you decide upon, remember that a dog will see his cage as his new home which should be a place that his quiet and provides him with security.
