Your dog is a family treasure, but there are times when your fluffy pal needs a break and must be sheltered from external influences. Why should you purchase a dog crate? It's all about safety and security. Is your small pup at the age where all he wants to do is chew on your sofa, your favourite shoes or the carpet you got from grandma? In that case, a quality crate purchased from a reputable pet shop can be a great way to protect your possessions and prevent your puppy from getting into dangerous situations.
