29 Nov Top 7 Dog Crates To Buy This Year
When most people are looking to purchase something they aren’t familiar with, they often seek out advice. New dog owners may not need help choosing a breed, but they may need assistance in buying a dog crate. Many veterinarians and animal behavior experts agree that an effective dog crate should allow enough room for the pet to move around. All dog crates in this list are made of wire, come in a variety of sizes – most from 18 inches to as large as 54 inches in length. They varied on one-door or two-door access and many were collapsible for easy storage and portability. According to the customer reviews, the best from each retail site offered ease of assembly, durability and were a great value.
Looking at some of the largest retailers of pet supplies, this blog used customer ratings to determine some of the best dog crates on the market. Each store’s highest rated dog crate is listed. Although Target, Home Depot and Sears all sell dog crates, they had few too customer reviews to help determine the best dog crates. They may sell some of the brands mentioned, so feel free to shop around for a better price, lower shipping cost or the convenience of picking it up in the store or curbside.
