Dogs And Heavy Duty Crates/ Kennels

For most dogs and in most situations, I recommend using a pet quality, airline quality dog crate / kennel. They are comprised of two plastic shells which are held together with wing nuts. I have used those type for many years. However, there has been the creation of some new, very strong, rigid plastic crates. They are better able to handle outside crushing forces, such as when stacking crates on top of one another. They are more resistant against a dog chewing their way out. And they have locks, which could be useful at a dog show or event to prevent some malicious person from either releasing or stealing the dog (yes, that happens and is a real risk). These heavy duty crates are an investment in your dog's safety and are worth getting if the above risks apply.

Here is an example of such a crate: The Impact Collapsible Dog Crate
