dog crates wire vs plastic image
cen5
Although the dog we have now has never been crate trained, we intend to crate train the next dog we get, but have had mixed review on each type of 'crate'. Which do you prefer- the wire cages, or the plastic ones which are like big cat carriers?
We were leaning toward the plastic ones as we thought they were ore of a 'den' than nand the wire was too much like a cage, like what you would use for a hmaster, and thought that the dog would probably be more distressed being able to see otuside clearly, but not being able to get out, if you know what i mean
Answer
I have both. The dogs I have now prefer the wire crates to the plastic ones. No amount of treats will get my lab Max into a plastic crate. But he loves his wire crate.
It really depends on your preferences and the dogs if you're getting an older dog.
The wire ones have the nice ability to add dividers to them so the crate will work for the life of the dog since you can buy one big enough for the dog as an adult and make it puppy sized with the divider.
Of course you can also buy a wire crate, and then get a crate cover for it so its more "enclosed" feeling as well.
This was my most recent crate purchase, it came with a free divider, and I'm absolutely loving the double doors. It gives you more options for crate placement.http://www.petco.com/product/13907/Midwest-Lifestages-Double-Door-Fold-and-Carry-Crates.aspx
As far as lasting, the oldest crate I have here is a plastic Pet Porter brand crate. I've had that crate for 14 years now, I do have to replace the bolts now and then, because I tend to lose them. Other than a couple chew spots from when it was halved and used for a bed, its in crate shape.
