Dog Cages

Home Pet Shop offers an excellent range of dog cages and crates for dogs that are the perfect solution for both helping keep your pet safe when you are otherwise occupied or for protecting your house either indoors or outside in the garden. Most dog cages come complete with an easy-to-clean tray or mat that fits neatly in the base and will accommodate a wide variety of soft dog beds.

There is quite a choice when it comes to size with a cage being available to suit the large majority of breeds from the petite to the huge and all have at least one door with most having two or more.

Of course dog cages are only a short term fix and should not be used as a place to leave your pet unattended for hours on end and a bowl of fresh water should always be provided no matter how long they are left for.

Most are finished in a stainless colour although there is also a new range of dog crates with a choice of either black or fashionable pink.

Mr Snugs Dog Kennel

Owning a dog is not always easy as they can be a tie and many dog owners make a lot of sacrifices and compromises to make their pooch happy. Of course it’s not just about making them happy as many of us worry about leaving them alone for any kind of prolonged period and, in truth, they should not be left for longer than 2 or 3 hours at any one time. The more you do compromise your life by either taking your dog with you or by staying at home rather than popping to the shops, then the more your dog will ‘complain’ when you do leave him or her at home.

Assuming your dog is not a persistent barker (especially if you have neighbours nearby) having a kennel for dogs outside will help whilst you are away from home as they’re happy to be able to have the freedom to relax in the garden and you’re happy that they’re not cooped up inside the house.

A range of Mr Snugs plastic dog kennels is available to buy from the online pet shop supermarket of Home Pet Shop.  They come in two sizes (large and small) and are manufactured from rotationally moulded plastic (no joins) which, unlike wooden dog kennels, will not let in water, don’t need painting, do not rot, and, being made of a durable plastic, are very  easy to keep clean therefore preventing  micro-organisms to hide or parasite infestation such as fleas . Each has a long roof overhang and recessed entry to ensure that the interior remains dry and there is a drain hole for draining after cleaning.

The Mr Snugs Dog Kennel come in ten different colours and can be lined with one of a number of different soft dog beds. They are also the perfect dog house for use inside the home as a place where your pet dog can sleep or rest in peace.

Dog supervision

Keeping your dog supervised and safe outside is not always easy. For this reason there are a number of ways to keep your dog secure whilst still giving it the freedom to roam around. Dog tethers come in a variety of types such as the spiral tie out stake. These just screw into the ground and you then simply attach the dogs lead to it. Tie out cables and tie out chains that are made from tangle-free chain link are well worth considering and attach to the spiral dog anchor. They come in a variety of lengths up to 30 feet max depending on either how much garden you have or how much freedom you want to give your dog. Tie out chains can also be attached to a dogs kennel or garden post. Some of the cables come complete with a shock absorbing spring and a weatherproof coating.

Home Pet Shop has a variety of dog tethers available to order from their online pet supermarket.
