Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is it better for a dog to sleep in a crate?

Many pet parents use dog crates and dog gates to train their pups, set boundaries, or contain them for their comfort/safety. Some pups love to sleep and relax in their crates, other pups might need a gate to protect them from dangers like stairs.

How long can dogs stay in a crate?

Dog crates, sometimes called cages or kennels, are a safe and contained area that a dog can reside in for short bursts of time. These containers are big enough to hold a dog but small enough that a dog isn’t roaming around.

How big should a dog crate be?

If you have a puppy, get a crate that fits their adult size and add a divider to make it smaller. If the crate is too big, they might try and use the bathroom at one end.

What should go in a dog crate?

Your dog’s crate should be a comfortable and comforting place. Try a crate mat/liner at the bottom to make it more comfortable. Make sure to observe your dog’s behavior in the crate to make sure the crate and anything you put in it is suitable for your pet.
