How much is a dog crate?

anywhere from $44.00 — $455.00 @ PETCO!

I’ve spent anywhere from 30 to 100. Petco has a great metal crate for large dogs for about $100…but! here’s the deal…these days people are selling anything they can to get money. So check our your local Craigslist…many cages are for sale in my areA. They are usually located in the pet section or often in the farm and garden section. I’ve seen a cage I bought for $100 for about $25 or less…i even bought a 6ft by 12ft dog run for $55…deals can be had if you look in the right place.

The prices are probably all the same. But just in case, check Petco, and other pet stores. They most likely all have the same suppliers, so odds, are they have similar prices, maybe a few cents less, more.

You can expect to pay between $50 – 125 for a quality crate for a medium to large dog. While it may sound like a lot, a good crate will outlive several dogs and quickly pays for itself in peace of mind and undamaged carpets, furniture and belongings.A crate need only be big enough for the dog to stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably. I like them to be just long enough for my dogs to stretch out on their sides to sleep. Growing puppies can be a problem when buying a crate. Not everyone can afford to buy a new one for each stage of growth but too large a crate can make a puppy harder to housebreak. Fortunately, dividers are available for some brands so you can shrink and expand the puppy’s space as neededThe most popular crates are made of plastic or heavy welded steel wire. Plastic crates are molded two-piece units with ventilation areas along the sides and a welded steel wire door in front. They’re lightweight, portable and are easily taken apart for storage or travel. Some of them come in decorator colors! Most plastic crates meet federal regulations for airline travel. The quality of plastic crates varies between manufacturers and you’ll need to get one sturdy enough to resist chewing.Wire crates are very popular and depending on your dog’s needs, may be a better purchase than plastic. You’ll need to shop more carefully for a wire crate because quality and style vary greatly. Some of them are flimsy and not meant to be collapsed for storage. Others, advertised as “collapsible”, do so only with great difficulty and don’t fold down to a convenient size. Look for sturdy crates with heavy gauge wire that are easily folded down into a “suitcase-style” shape for transportation and storage. Although they aren’t approved for airline use, I prefer wire crates for my heavy-coated Chows because they offer better ventilation.The most likely place to buy a crate is at your local pet supply store. You can find them at hardware and department stores, too. For the largest selection and sometimes, the best value, a wholesale pet supply company may be your best bet. You can find these companies through ads in popular dog magazines. It pays to shop around. Crates come in several styles and materials and some are sturdier or more convenient than others.
