dog crates with dividers image
The Truth
We have limited space and I was wondering if any of you have seen dog crates made specifically for two dogs, with a divider between the dogs and two doors.
Answer
There ARE crates that would work like that, but you would have to do a solid divider (like a thick slab of wood) or two wire dividers set inches apart from one another to prevent the dogs from reaching through and getting at one another.
One wire divider would leave enough room for them to get at one another if they get agitated (which can happen), and ears/tails can be injured or lips torn up. My dog's crate has three doors - one in the middle front and one on each end. I could put dividers in there and be able to put one dog on each side no problem.
This one would work just as well (one door on each end):

Please remember that the crate should be only big enough for a dog to sit, stand, turn, and lay down comfortably. That may be difficult to do if you divide one up like that. You may end up with a space that's too big, which may lead to elimination in the crate if the dog(s) can sleep away from it.
And i would NEVER recommend letting two dogs share a crate - if they're shut in and get agitated (again, VERY possible) then they'll fight. Also, a crate should be a dog's personal den. Some dogs can get defensive over their spaces!

Transport dog crates - How can I choose the right one ?

Can anyone give me some info how can I choose the right transport dog crate for my dog ?
Answer
Choose a crate that is 1 1/2 times the length of your dog when fully grown. Your dog should be able to stand up, turn around and lie down in the crate comfortably. If it's for a puppy, a partition should be placed so that she has 1 1/2 times her length to move around. Some crates come with a divider panel that can be adjusted to the different growth stages. If you prefer, you can choose one without dividers and make your own out of something indestructible, such as plywood.
Size the crate according to your dog's breed. The following is a good guide: Extra small: Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu Small: Boston Terrier, Jack Russell, Yorkie, Maltese Medium: Cairn Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Llasa Apso, Dachshund Large: Basset Hound, Bulldog, Welsh Corgi, Shar-Pei XLarge: Chow, Collie, Dalmation XXLarge: German Shepherd, Greyhound, Golden/Labrador Retriever
