I lost the gate to my indoor dog crate but i dont want to buy a whole new crate! I meed to use the crate because my cat has a broken leg and needs to be confined to an indoor dog crate. Please help!

Cut off the side of one of those plastic wash baskets maybe and use some duct tape to keep it in place. it's ok to do if its temporary. I'm sure you'll find spare pieces for crates on a pet supply website :)

Are there dog crates that will accommodate two dogs with a divider and two doors?
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!
