But oversized crates can also lead to problems during housetraining. If your puppy is still growing, choose a crate with a divider panel, which allows the crate to grow with them while limiting the space during early training stages.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1721\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1775\"><strong data-start=\"1727\" data-end=\"1775\">Dog Crate Types: Which One Is Right for You?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1777\" data-end=\"1916\">There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all solution.

They\u2019re ideal for dogs that like to see what\u2019s happening around them and are comfortable in confined spaces. Most wire crates include divider panels, making them perfect for puppies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2408\">However, wire crates are not the best for anxious dogs or car travel. They\u2019re easy to move and store, but they provide minimal protection during accidents. Also, some dogs may try to escape or chew on the metal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2408\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1283 size-full\" title=\"Dog crate\" src=\"http:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-03.webp\" alt=\"Dog crate\" width=\"1000\" height=\"715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-03.webp 1000w, https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-03-300x215.webp 300w, https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-03-768x549.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2410\" data-end=\"2429\">Plastic Crates<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2431\" data-end=\"2681\">Plastic crates create a more den-like atmosphere, which helps many dogs feel safe and secure. These crates are more suitable for car rides and occasional air travel. They\u2019re more durable than wire crates and offer better containment for anxious pets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2683\" data-end=\"2861\">One downside is reduced airflow and limited aesthetic appeal inside your home. Regular cleaning is essential to avoid bacteria buildup, especially if your dog has sensitive skin.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2683\" data-end=\"2861\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1284 size-full\" title=\"Dog crate\" src=\"http:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-01.webp\" alt=\"Dog crate\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-01.webp 1000w, https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-01-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-01-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2863\" data-end=\"2885\">Soft-Sided Crates<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2887\" data-end=\"3208\">These lightweight, portable crates are best for calm, well-trained dogs. They\u2019re perfect for short trips, visits to friends or family, or simply offering a cozy corner at home. But be careful\u2014determined dogs can chew through the fabric or damage the zippers easily. They\u2019re also not recommended for large or anxious dogs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2887\" data-end=\"3208\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1285 size-full\" title=\"Dog crate\" src=\"http:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-04.webp\" alt=\"Dog crate\" width=\"1000\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-04.webp 1000w, https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-04-300x222.webp 300w, https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-04-768x568.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"3210\" data-end=\"3232\">Heavy-Duty Crates<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3234\" data-end=\"3497\">If your dog is an escape artist or a powerful chewer, heavy-duty crates made from reinforced materials are worth the investment. Though they\u2019re more expensive and less portable, they\u2019re often crash-tested and built for maximum safety\u2014ideal for frequent travelers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3234\" data-end=\"3497\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1286 size-full\" title=\"Dog crate\" src=\"http:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-02.webp\" alt=\"Dog crate\" width=\"1000\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-02.webp 1000w, https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-02-300x198.webp 300w, https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Dog-crate-02-768x507.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"3499\" data-end=\"3521\">Decorative Crates<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3523\" data-end=\"3744\">These blend with your home\u2019s interior and double as furniture.

In these cases, an exercise pen might be a better choice. These pens provide more space and freedom while keeping your dog safely contained.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4024\" data-end=\"4212\">You can place a crate inside the pen to gradually encourage your dog to use it as a cozy den. Over time, they may start to feel more comfortable and eventually accept crate training fully.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4214\" data-end=\"4217\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"4219\" data-end=\"4270\"><strong data-start=\"4223\" data-end=\"4270\">Final Tips for Choosing the Right Dog Crate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4272\" data-end=\"4514\">When shopping for a dog crate, consider your dog\u2019s <strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/zuripets.com\/blog\/training-behavior\/\">behavior<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, size, age, and how you\u2019ll use the crate.
