I am amazed by how many people are unaware of the choices available today in their search for the right dog crate for their beloved dog.   

When a lot of people think of a dog crate, the first thing that comes to mind is a wire dog crate.  Today there are many alternatives to wire dog crates if you would prefer to have a more stylish crate.  Although a wire dog crate can look aesthetically pleasing in your living area.  Simply adding a dog crate cover can dress up your dog's wire crate so it will blend in with your decor.  There are colors of dog crate covers to compliment just about every decor. 

 Soft side dog crates are the most portable.  They're light weight and easy to transport.  You can easily move from one room to another if you don't want it to be seen by your guests.  It's easy to take along when you travel too.  Most soft side dog crates fold away flat and many are stackable.  These are not suitable for dogs with a history of chewing or puppies in the chewing stage.  If you need a crate for your puppy, it's best to start with a wire dog crate until you get to know his behavior patterns. 

Wicker dog crates are another fine alternative to a wire crate.  They are stylish and dogs love them.  Most wicker crates boast an attractive rattan finish that also blends well in any decor. Rubber feet keep these dog crates in place and protect floor surfaces.  Unfortunately, wicker dog crates are not suitable for puppies or dogs with a history of chewing.  They will more than likely try to chew their way out of the wicker crate. 

Aluminum designer pet den and dog crate furniture is another excellent alternative. Lovely aluminum dog crates make for unique dog beds that double as functional, attractive tables to fit your home decor. No more dog crate covers, these round puppy beds are sturdy end tables attractively designed to function as small dog beds and dog crates, making for stylish designer dog furniture that doubles as human furniture, too.

Another beautiful alternative to wire crates are wooden dog crates.  Most of the wooden dog crates double as fine furniture.  Most of them look just like end tables.  In fact many are called dog crate end tables.  They're a stunning addition to your home and pet ownership.  Most of your friends would be surprised when you tell them it's actually a dog crate!  I wouldn't recommend wooden dog crates for puppies or dogs with a history of chewing.  They will more than likely try to chew their way out and damage your fine piece of furniture.  Then Rover will really be in the dog house!
