Dog crates - a safe retreat and transport solution for your dog
Dog crates offer you a well thought-out way to transport your dog safely or create a protected resting place for him - at home, in the car or when travelling. Dog crates are a sensible investment for responsible pet owners who prioritise safety and comfort
Functionality and comfort in different life situations
Dog crates support you in everyday life during car journeys, visits to the vet or when travelling and at the same time offer your dog a familiar place to retreat to. Indoor models are often softly padded and promote relaxed behaviour. Transport crates with a sturdy frame provide protection during the journey - even in the event of sudden braking manoeuvres - and can be secured in the vehicle in accordance with regulations.
Decision criteria: Size, material and intended use
Choose a dog crate so that your dog can stand upright, turn round and lie stretched out in it. Foldable fabric crates with good ventilation are suitable for indoor use, while aluminium crates or impact-resistant plastic crates with metal grids are recommended for transport. Aspects such as folding mechanism, carrying handles or easy-to-clean surfaces also play an important role in the selection process - especially for mobile use or when storage space is limited.
Care, storage and shipping
Many dog crates can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, textile-based variants are often washable. Foldable models can be stowed away to save space and are particularly practical for seasonal use - for example for outings in spring or summer. They are usually delivered disassembled, including assembly instructions, and can be assembled in just a few steps.
