I have two dogs, and two crates. One plastic and one wire.
As a rule of thumb the dogs seem to prefer the wire, but it is covered (to make it a little darker) with a spare towel, and it does have a real pillow covered in fake fur which probably makes it more comfortable.
However the plastic one is used often by one of the dogs (ie when she gets kicked out of the wire one).
As long as it feels safe and comfy, I dont think it matters.
The plastic one is good for being washed out when "accidents" happen and is about half the size of my wire one, which means its better for travel to the vets etc. |
