Puppy cages are becoming more and more popular with puppy
owners, as the cage provides a safe haven for the puppy to retreat to once they
become tired. The cages are also used to
contain the puppy when the owners are out for the day or are in bed, as it ensures
the puppy stays in a safe place and can’t get up to any mischief. It’s important to make sure that the crate
isn’t used for punishment, as the puppy will need to see it in a positive way.
Most puppy cages are made from galvanised metal which is powder
coated and is perfectly safe for a puppy, even if they try to bite it. It’s best to choose a cage which has a
removal bottom tray as this can make cleaning the cage easier. Most cages will also fold down easily and
will flat pack for when not in use. Some
dog owners find that their puppy will only need to use the cage for a couple of
years, after which they are mature enough to settle on their own and can be
trusted when home alone.
Whilst puppy cages are great for keeping the puppy safe
whilst the owner goes out or is in bed, it’s best not to leave the puppy for a
very long period of time. The puppy may
become distressed if it needs to go outside for toileting reasons, and puppies
also require a lot of exercise. Bored
puppies are more likely to develop behavioural problems, so it’s best to
entertain and exercise the puppy as much as possible.
Of course, it’s also important to ensure the cage is the
right size for the puppy. A very young
puppy may start off small, but will soon grow!
Of course, cages aren’t just suitable for puppies, small dogs may also
benefit from having a safe area where they can retreat to when they require a
bit of downtime. Small dog cages, even
if left open all of the time, can provide a restful haven for a dog.
Very young puppies or nervous dogs may like to have an item
of clothing which smells of the owner as a means of comfort and reassurance.
