Dogs don´t like being in captivity but they do like cosy dens & they like being part of a pack. This folding dog crate has a beautiful wooden frame. It´s the perfect den for your pet & doubles up as an elegant piece of furniture which you can place things on. Occasionally if your dog is sick or not yet house-trained you might need to limit your pet to a certain area. Dogs are pack animals & they need to feel that they are part of the family. This indoor kennel with wooden frame is a great way to give your dog the peace & quiet it sometimes needs without excluding it from the family. There is a large door in the front so it is easy for your dog to go in & out. If your dog is used to the cage you can leave the door open. Your dog will make its own way into the cage when it needs retreat for a while & it will appreciate it if you place a warm soft blanket or bed inside the cage. There is a finest top quality plastic base which can be removed for easy cleaning. The wooden frame is made from strong MDF boards treated with non-toxic varnish. For best results make sure your dog gets used to the dog cage slowly & that it does not get distressed. The cage is not suitable for use as a permanent home for your dog & you should not lock your pet in there for any length of time. The dog cushion & the items of decoration are not included.
