Dog crate.
« on: June 19, 2010, 09:23:17 PM »
Sorry, I know i've started a couple of threads asking about dog crates but i've still had no luck in finding one local, i've tried ebay, preloved & freecycle & now Charlie is getting alot more fidgety in the car i really need one now.
I've been looking on the Savic website & they have one on there, there is medium which is 61cm & intermediate which is 76cm. It says both sizes are suitable to a cocker. Since i went on this morning the intermediate have sold out so i was just wondering whether the medium (61cm) is still big enough??
Thanks

We have a 24" in the car which is fine for Alfie. Its a little bit small but perfect for car journeys, as he can move around and lie down- it just isnt very big. I think 61cm is about 24" if my maths is correct ph34r but dont hold me to it. It should be fine for Charlie ;) :D xxx

Bear in mind with one of these crates you need to allow for access for the door to open in a car as the metal doors open outwards - for the car I have a car crate with sliding doors so doesn't take up any room except for the size of the crate.

You will get cheaper than this but if there is an Argos locally http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8705273/Trail/searchtext%3EPET+CAGE.htm

My last couple of crates have been off ebay though

He has them at buy it now - mine came really quickly and the paperwork came from Berriewood Wholesale in the end so he must use an ebay account - but when I look on their own website they are £29.99 so cheaper to get it from him on ebay.

I got a 24" one  in chrome rather than black from ebay and it was about £17 including next day delivery. Ialso has a door at the end and the side.
