I use the crate for a few reasons (airline type) We live in an easily evacuated area (hurricanes),I worry about their safety at night and I am a crazy light sleeper. Three of our dogs found the crates to be their special haven as they got older, the youngest has accepted it but is the first one out in the am and never goes near it in the daytime. She is more comfortable in the Iris pen, which I have kept up even tho she is now 6 years old! I would stick with it... |
