Finding the right dog cage
Dog cages are much more spacious than a normal dog kennel. You can buy them in versions made of wood or metal, purchase them with a hut and run or choose a mobile version. In order to decide on a suitable model when buying a dog kennel, you should consider a few points in advance.
The best dog cages at a glance
Pine, spruce etc. - wooden dog cage
If you want to go all-natural when accommodating your dog or dogs, a wooden dog cage is a good choice. Many of the wooden models are provided with large bars so that the animals are close to nature, the weather conditions and the seasons - and also acknowledge this with appropriate fur growth in the cold months.
Dog cage made of metal
Dog cages made of metal are stable, robust and are generally unaffected by the weather conditions. The construction is often a little less complicated than is the case with the corresponding wooden models.
Dogs when traveling - mobile dog cage for the car
When purchasing a mobile dog cage, the following aspects should be taken into account:
- How quickly can the mobile dog kennel be set up?
– What weight does it have?
- What dimensions do I have to deal with when the transportable kennel is assembled? Is my existing storage space/the intended storage location sufficient for the folded dog cage?
- Does the dog kennel fit into the car as well and easily as I imagine?
Even in a mobile cage, the dog shouldn't have to contort himself in vain looking for a comfortable position. Helpful: Measure your four-legged friend before buying it so that you don't grossly misjudge the size and end up hurting yourself when buying the mobile. If the mobile kennel has more than one door, you are less restricted when setting it up.
Dog cage with kennel and run
If a dog house is already integrated, you save yourself having to look for a suitable model for the selected cage. The dog house protects animal residents from wind and weather and also serves as a place for the dog to retreat and sleep. In some dog houses, the roof can also be used as an area for lying down.
So that dogs are not solely dependent on walking with their owners, it is worth purchasing a dog cage with a run. The four-legged friend can let off steam at any time and give in to his urge to move. Large outdoor runs are a wonderful thing, but your own space conditions should also be taken into account here. Before buying one, you have to consider whether the area of the run is sufficient for the dog's individual needs, or whether the run should actually be so large that there is no garden left for all the kennels. A slightly smaller or larger run may be more suitable for your own needs.
Tip: A large selection can often be purchased particularly cheaply online. This means that the customer does not have to limit themselves to one or two models when making a purchase decision, but can draw from the wealth of the market offering.
