Vari Kennels - Still the Best

Last month I posted a topic that suggested that the Fashion Series Vari Kennel by Petmate was the best plastic dog crate on the market.  I would like to change my opinion and go as far as saying that all Vari Kennels by Petmate are the best plastic dog crates on the market.  We have used these great kennels in my family for many years.  I still have on that I use for my two year old lab that is probably as old as I am if not older.  My father got it many years ago.  He said at the time, you could only get them from the airlines.  How far we have come since then.  Now, there are many great plastic dog crates out there, and I am not saying a Vari Kennel is the only way.  I actually have and enjoy some other brands and models out there.  I'm just letting the crate do its talking.  I am 33 years old, and I do not know how old this Vari Kennel I have is, but I am sure it is one of the first models, and it is still going strong.

Soft Dog Crates - Now Available

Soft sided dog crates are really neat.  They have been growing in popularity recently and for good reasons.  They are light, portable, and they just plain look better than other types of dog crates.  If you are the traveling or camping type, a soft dog crate is the crate for you.  They fold flat, are easy to set up, and are very durable.  High quality soft dog crates are usually water resistant, can be staked to the ground, and have pockets to store things for your dog.  The only drawback of a soft dog crate is the fact that it is made of fabric.  If you have a dog that chews, no matter how tough it is, it is no match for a good set of teeth.  Get the information you need about soft dog crates when choosing one for your pet.

Wire Dog Crates - New at Canine Crate Store

Wire dog crates have been around for many years.  They are some of the most durable and best dog crates available, provided you select one of high quality.  Many of the cheaper knockoffs are flimsy and do not fold.  Most of the high end wire dog crates are of a collapsible design which allows them to fold flat for easy storage.  A good wire dog crate will last for many years, unfortunately much longer than our beloved pets.  They come in many shapes and sizes and are available in most places you find pet products.  Make sure you get all the information you need when selecting a dog crate for your dog.

New Puppy and her Dog Crate

I got to see a new puppy in action yesterday, and boy was she great.  My best friend just got a Brussel Griffon pup.  What a cutie.  They have been implementing a dog crate during their house breaking of the pup, and once again it is just more evidence that this method works!   I was able to baby sit her a few weeks ago when she was brand new to the human world, and I had to keep a close eye on her to make sure she wasn't going to use my house as a bathroom.  Then yesterday, I was privileged to take on the task of baby sitter again.  Actually, I should say that my 2 year old Lab is the real baby sitter, I just get to supervise them both.  Since the first time she stayed at my house a few weeks ago was a night and day difference.  Only a few weeks of using a dog crate as a house breaking tool, made this a completely different pup.  She was great!  She knew the ins and outs of potty training.  My props to my friends, and another reminder to me that dog crates and kennels are great tools.
