Purchasing inferior dog crates and dog pens could seriously injure your pet. I hadn’t given that a lot of thought until I read an article discussing it, so I thought I’d summarize the important points here.
In regard to air travel, cheap plastic dog crates have actually cracked due to the pressure changes and the dogs inside them were injured. Good heavy-duty dog crates are required for air travel.
If you purchase collapsible wire dog crates or dog pens, be sure they are of sturdy and tested materials. Collapsing dog crates or dog pens made of low-cost or poor quality materials can trap your dogs inside. This can be deadly to puppies and cause injury to adult dogs.
Make sure your dog crates and dog pens provide plenty of room for your pets. It’s also important to make sure the dog crates have enough air holes. Proper ventilation gives your pet sufficient oxygen. There have been instances where dogs have suffocated in kennels due to being placed in poorly ventilated dog crates.
Bottom line … keep your pet’s safety in mind and be aware of the quality of materials and design before you purchase.
Till next time …
