Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Crates & Kennels

What size dog crate do I need for my pet?
Measure your dog from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail, then add 5 to 10 centimetres. The crate height should allow your dog to stand without crouching. For puppies, choose a crate with an adjustable divider so you can expand the space as they grow, avoiding the need to purchase multiple crates.
Are wire crates or plastic kennels better for dogs?
Wire crates provide superior ventilation and visibility, making them suitable for home training and warm climates. Plastic kennels offer a more enclosed, secure feeling that calms anxious dogs and works better for travel. Your choice depends on whether you prioritise airflow and supervision or a cosy, den-like environment for your pet.
Can I use a dog crate for house training a puppy?
Yes, crate training is an effective method for teaching puppies bladder control. Dogs naturally avoid soiling their sleeping area, so a correctly sized crate encourages them to hold until taken outside. Keep training sessions positive, never use the crate as punishment, and maintain a consistent schedule for toilet breaks.
How do I clean and maintain a dog kennel?
Remove the bottom tray or liner and wash it with mild soap and water weekly. Wipe down wire frames or plastic walls with pet-safe disinfectant to eliminate odours and bacteria. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling. For fabric carriers, check if covers are machine washable and air-dry them to prevent mould.
Is a collapsible dog crate suitable for travel?
Collapsible crates work well for travel if they have sturdy frames and secure locking mechanisms. They fold flat for storage in car boots and are lighter than rigid plastic models. However, for air travel or very active dogs, a solid plastic carrier with reinforced walls may offer better protection and meet airline requirements.
