M-PETS Voyager Folding Wire Dog Crate, XL - 106.5 x 71 x 76 cm

M-PETS Voyager Folding Wire Dog Crate is the XL in the M-PETS Voyager range of folding wire crates - 106.5 x 71 x 76 cm, with a door at the front and a second one in the side.

Key Features

• 106.5 x 71 x 76 cm, which the carton gives as L, D and H
• Folds flat with no tools, which is the point of a wire crate - it goes in a car boot and comes out again in a minute
• Two doors, front and side, so it works in a corner either way round
• Sliding plastic drawer in the base that pulls right out to be hosed or wiped
• Securo Lock, the M-PETS catch, which the carton says closes with one hand
• Anti-slip feet, and a Premium Wire badge on the box
• A metre long and seventy-six high, which is a labrador or a collie rather than anything larger

Good To Know

• Buy the crate by the dog, not by the puppy. It should stand up without ducking, turn round without touching the sides and lie out flat. A crate a dog cannot stand up in is the wrong crate, whatever else it has going for it.
• A crate is a bed, not a punishment. Feed in it, leave the door open for the first week and never shut a dog in one to deal with bad behaviour - that is how a dog learns to fight the door.
• Wire is cooler than plastic, which matters here. Keep any crate out of direct sun and out of a parked car, where the inside goes past survivable within minutes.
• A cover over three sides turns a wire crate into a den and settles most dogs faster than anything else you can do to it. Leave the front open so the dog can see out.
