Metal dog crates can be better for certain uses, while plastic dog crates are better for others. Wire dog crates allow for better airflow and give your dog a 360-degree view of the room. Most are also fully collapsible for easy storage. Plastic dog crates may be more comfortable for many dogs, and the greater coverage on the sides and back may be better for excitable dogs, those in drafty rooms or for travel. Plastic dog kennels are often more lightweight than wire crates, as well.
Some dogs can chew through plastic crates, and others may chew through wire crates, too. If you have a dog who likes to chew his crate, look for one with heavy-duty construction and talk to your vet about possible behavioral solutions. Your dog might be suffering from separation anxiety or boredom and calming medication or more exercise may help.
The best plastic dog crate is a sturdy one that is the right size for your dog. Look for helpful features like carry handles and top-loading doors for smaller dogs. Larger doorways and reinforced hardware are important features for large plastic dog crates. If you plan to travel with your dog, make sure to get an airline-approved carrier or one that fits in your car's cargo area for road trips. Chewy has a great selection of plastic dog crates, so you are sure to find all the best options for any use.
You should get your dog a plastic crate size that is neither too large nor too small. Some people may assume that bigger is better, but a crate that's too large can bump your dog around dangerously during travel and make him feel less secure. Your dog should also be able to stand up and turn around in the kennel, so don't get one that is too small. To find the right size crate, first measure your dog from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail. Then, measure him from the top of the head to the floor while he is standing or sitting upright. Add 4 inches to each of these measurements to determine the ideal dimensions for a plastic dog crate. Chewy includes a size and weight guide along with measuring instructions on every plastic dog crate listing.
