Plastic, metal wire and soft dog crates are some of the different types of crates available to transport a pet dog from one place to another. Usually soft dog crates which use fabric are the most popular dog crates, because they lightweight and can be stored easily when not in use. However these crates should not be used for dogs who are aggressive, hyperactive, like to chew and likes to be outdoors, these dogs may chew and destroy the crate within a few days. Hence it is advisable to train the pet dog to get him accustomed to the soft dog crate for some time, before using it to transport the dog. Buyers should check all the dog crates available in the market within their budget, their features before taking a decision.

One of the main considerations for selecting a dog crate should be the design of the dog crate, how easily the dog can put in the crate and removed, whether the crate is washable, how easily it can be carried. It is also recommended that the buyer check the reviews on Amazon and other websites before purchasing a dog crate.
