Common questions
Can I leave my dog in a crate all day?
No. A crate is for short periods, overnight sleeping and travel, not for keeping a dog shut in for a working day. Dogs need regular toilet breaks, exercise and company. If you are out for long hours, look at a dog walker or day care.
Which type of crate is best for the car?
Purpose-built aluminium car crates are the sturdiest and are shaped to fit the boot. Plastic transport crates and wire crates also work if they fit well and are secured so they cannot slide. Fabric crates are fine for calm dogs at your destination but offer little protection while driving.
