Many owners also use collapsible dog crates for easy transport and storage when not in use.
For travel, dog carriers make every trip stress-free and secure. Whether you're visiting the vet, embarking on a road trip, or flying interstate, our range of dog travel carriers includes both hard-sided carriers for added protection and lightweight, soft-sided carriers ideal for airline travel. Each carrier is crafted to keep your pet secure while offering enough space for comfort during the journey.
What size dog crate should I get for my dog?
The right size dog crate should allow your dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Measure your dog’s length from nose to tail and height from floor to top of head, then choose a crate slightly larger for added comfort. Puppies may need a crate with a divider so the space can grow with them.
What type of dog crates does Petstock offer?
Petstock offers a wide range of dog crates including collapsible dog crates that are lightweight and water-resistant, wire dog crates with sliding doors and sturdy locks, and plastic travel crates for added protection. You can also add a polyester crate cover for extra security and comfort.
Can a dog sleep in a crate overnight?
Yes, many dogs find crates to be a safe and cosy place to sleep overnight. Make sure the crate is properly sized, includes soft bedding, and is placed in a quiet part of your home. Crating at night can also support house training and build a positive sleeping routine.
How do I crate train my dog?
Crate training should be a positive experience. Start by introducing your dog to the crate with treats and toys, keeping the door open at first. Gradually increase the time they spend inside, and never use the crate as a punishment. Consistent, positive reinforcement helps your dog see the crate as a safe, welcoming space.
Are dog crates safe for travel?
Yes, dog crates are one of the safest ways to travel with your dog. Hard-sided crates offer extra protection for car or cargo travel, while soft-sided carriers are lightweight and airline-friendly for cabin use. Always choose a crate that is well-ventilated, sturdy and spacious enough for your dog to move comfortably.
