Buying The Best Luxury Dog Crates

By Annabelle Holman


A dog crate provides a safe haven where a pet can relax and sleep without being disturbed. These items have come a long way over the past years and are now designed to accommodate every need of the pet but to satisfy the desires of the owners too. Luxury dog crates are being made that are not only practical and functional but do not look out of place inside the home. They compliment the style of other furniture found in the house.

A crate can be used for training, short term confinement when transporting a pet or as a safe place for a pet inside the home. When used as a training aid, it can help to toilet train puppies or to teach them to be alone. A pet can be transported in one to a competition or to the vet. It provides a comfortable, safe place inside the home where a pet can retreat without fear of disturbance.

These items come in many different sizes from ones for tiny pets to those that can house a Great Dane. The dimensions have to be chosen with the size of the pet in mind. They have to have enough room to stretch out when they lie down and to stand, sit and turn around.

Materials such as wood, wicker, steel and tightly woven mesh fabric can all be used to construct these items. It does not matter what material is used as long as it is durable and safe for the pet with enough air flow. It should also be simple to keep clean, preferably with a tough, removable pan.

Some of the items being created today are designed with a dual function. They not only provide a safe space for a pet but are beautifully constructed of wood and can be used as furniture too. One can be used as a nightstand, for example, providing a great way of keeping a pup close at night. Some are made to be used as end tables in a living room. This provides a stylish option and allows pets to be in the house without taking up extra space.

Many different designs are available. Some people prefer to have a design that offers good visibility so the pet can see what is going on around them. Such visibility is offered in a design with a solid top that doubles as a table top but with mesh sides. Wooden slats are another option. There are even very contemporary steel designs with a solid top that functions as a table top. The arrangement of doors has to allow the owner maximum convenience. An option to open the crate at the side or in front means that it can fit unobtrusively into a corner.

There are soft-sided portable crates that are perfect for transporting pets. They are light in weight and easy to assemble and fold away. Handles and wheels are helpful for ease of handling when traveling.

Pets can now enjoy being part of the household without the owners having to sacrifice their sense of style in any way. They may have to pay more for items that are not mass produced but they often consider this well worth the extra expense. The pet can now be part of the household and have its own special place without causing any inconvenience.
