Dog crates?

Dec 26, 2007 by Hannah S | Posted in Dogs

I got 2 dogs that are very close to each other. (A beagle mix and a cockapoo) But they are growing out of their medium sized crates. We don't want them roming the house when we are not home so we are trying to decide between a large crate for both of them or an extra large crate for them to share. Are dogs better of by themselves. Or is it better to keep them together?

i would strongly advise you to NOT let them share a crate. You can put the crates beside eachother, but don't let them share a crate, no matter how well they get along.

Greyhounds homeless after dog racing track closes

"The State of Wisconsin gives us three choices [of what to do with the dogs]. The dogs can go with their owners, they can go to another track, or they can be adopted."

"Right now we've had a fantastic response from rescue groups and just from individual people who want to adopt one of the dogs," said Apgar. "Our adoption center has a lot of hardworking people who make sure that these dogs are properly placed and our adoption center will stay open until all of the dogs have been placed. So, if people want to adopt, just give us a call or visit our Web site."

Meanwhile, greyhound adoption and rescue groups in Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan are joining forces to temporarily house the greyhounds in kennels or foster homes while they search for people to adopt the dogs.

Rescue groups, such as Greyhounds Only based in Carol Stream, also are in need of volunteers as well as donations -- money, dog food, dog crates, veterinarian assistance and help in transporting the dogs.

Heavy Duty Dog Crates-A Misunderstood Solution to a Big Problem

The Level 3 crate is made completely of tubular steel including the frame and all sides as well as the top and bottom areas. This crate is made for the strongest, most aggressive, most difficult of dogs or other animals. While manufacturers cannot guarantee the crate will hold what you put in it, it is easy to see why a Level 3 crate works for the strongest of dogs and other animals. These crates will last for many years and will most likely be the last crate your dog will ever need. A removable metal pan is a must no matter what size dog crate you purchase. It is more important with heavy duty crates especially if you have a chewer. If you have or have ever had a chewer you know what can happen to anything, dog crates included, should the chewer manage access to items, especially plastic items. Plastic pans can warp and crack in a relatively short time period. Be sure your crate comes with a floor grate as well. Good heavy duty dog crates have 2 to 3 doors including accessibility from the top. Some have split doors for easy feeding and access to items inside the crate. One never knows how aggressive any particular animal may be. You will find a split-door very handy especially with hard to handle animals. The small door at the bottom of the front door area is made for safely inserting food and water for the occupants. Some people get the idea that a dog crate, regular or heavy duty is akin to "jail." I assume they feel this way because they have never had an overly aggressive dog, loveable as they might be, a large dog that was not crate trained as a puppy or a lawsuit resulting from a dog bite. Worse yet, they have never had a family dog put down because of a dog bite.
