By using a double door dog crate you can rest assured that your house will be safe and that your puppy won’t be getting into any trouble by tearing up your carpet, chewing on your furniture or doing anything else that naughty or unwarranted.

A double door dog crate is exactly what its name suggests, a dog crate that has two doors. The double door dog crate has gained a lot of popularity in recent years because of its added convenience in dealing with the interior of the dog crate. Traditionally dog crates had only a single door, however by having two doors you are much more able to access the insides of your dog crate which gives you increased control over the training of your dog or puppy.

For example having two doors gives you the freedom to be able to get your dog in and out of the one door, whilst being able to use the second door for cleaning the den, putting in the crate pad, restocking food dishes, toys and other interior elements.

Setting up a double door dog crate is very simple and can be achieved by even those with next to no technical know how. If you can follow a set of simple instructions then you should have no problem putting this style of dog crate together.

In order to protect your dog from accident the wiring of most double door dog crates is covered with a durable electro coat finish that is chew resistant. For added security and safety the doors all lock with slide bolt latches, ensuring that your dog will not be able to accidentally escape while you are away from home.

Features:

• Double door design for easy interior access
• Easy assembly in only seconds, no tools required
• Folds up “suitcase style” for easy transport and storage
• Doors equipped with “slide bolt” latches for maximum security
• Easy to clean and secure. Plastic pan compatible
• Can be modified using divider panels
• Adjust the length of the living area as your puppy grows into its adult size home

When not to use a Folding Dog Crate

A wire double door dog crate should be avoided in certain situations. If you live in a drafty, cold area then a wire dog crate may not be suitable. Puppies and smaller dogs may be better served by an enclosed crate such as a wicker dog crate that will allow them to retain body heat more easily. Double door dog crates are also generally not suited well to traveling, if you are going to be traveling a lot with your pet then it might be a good idea to take a look at a travel dog crate.
