crate recommendation?

[cali~jenn]

Ok guys I dont use crates with my boys BUT Miila is getting her surgeries tomorrow, spay, cherry eye and soft pallet. I am very anxious about her healing process since she is a wild baby. Anyhow I think the safest thing for her is a crate. So I am asking what type I should be looking at for her. I do think she needs one in general anyhow cuz she is always searching for a cubby or some safe place to go lay down so I think she will love it long term as well as after surgery. I wanna make sure I get a good one so please help.

I did a ton of pricing..sizing..etc.. I found Wal mart has the best prices by far! The size recommended for full grown bullies was 36 inches.

I agree. Walmart is the cheapest.

Ok very good on that now what kind? Here is a non-link to their online page of crates.
walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=crates&ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=5440
I am liking the medium pet gear deluxe steal crate or the petnation dogaport. Am I crazy? Should I just stick with a plain wire one?

I just got the cheapest..recommended by ASPCA..in fact they really only had 1 of the size I wanted so I didn't have choices! Lol!

I have the foldable 2-door steel one for Stig. Love it. It's similar to what you prefer.

That sounds like the ones we use, two door steel or wire crates. Our bullies stay cooler in them.

Jenn..I saw it at petsmart after I bought it..I told the petsmart people and they laughed at me! I was like..ohhhh you LIKE screwing all us poor fools! I am NOT a huge fan of walmart..but after that..I usually check there first!

 

[cali~jenn]

Course they laughed, they just sold 1 to a poor person who was almost me.

Our guys like the 2 door wire (steel) crates too. They like that they can see out of them. Ruggles chewed on both liners so we covered plywood with carpet for them to sleep on! Their crates are their houses!

Yup, I learned to go to wal-mart first, then shop around.
