A wire cage is practical but rarely beautiful, and a blanket over it does not help much. Dog cage furniture does the same job: a den with a door the dog knows. On the outside it is a side table, a console or a sideboard.

The door is ventilated all round and can be locked. We see the den as a retreat, not a place to shut a dog away. It suits puppies in crate training and dogs that need a quiet place at night or when visitors come.

Door
A slatted door with rails, ventilated, lockable, hinged left or right.
Size
From your dog's shoulder height and length, not from a cage size.
Furniture
Side table, console, sideboard or TV unit, with drawers beside the den.
Floor
A washable mat and a cushion with a cover that goes in the wash.

Questions

How big should a dog crate be?
Your dog must be able to stand, turn round and lie stretched out. Inside, we take the length from nose to tail base plus 15 cm, and the height 8 cm above the head. Sizes by breed.
What about Switzerland?
In Switzerland, the cantonal animal welfare guidance says dogs may not be shut in crates. A crate as a resting place is fine if it has no door that closes. For customers in Switzerland we therefore recommend an open den without a door.
How long can a dog stay in a crate?
As briefly as possible. The crate is a retreat, not a substitute for walks and company. If in doubt, ask your vet or a dog trainer.
What does dog cage furniture cost?
The crate console starts at €1,600 and a side table with a den at €1,150, plus import VAT and delivery. Bigger dogs cost more. You get a fixed price with the drawing.
