We all know that dogs like to have their own special crate.  It substitutes for a den that they would use in the wild.  Wooden dog crates have the advantage of being very stylish and still serve the purpose of an enclosed area for your dog.  Available in a variety of style and sizes, these crates are perfect for a homeowner that doesn’t want a crate that looks like, well, a crate.

Wooden dog crates are designed to look like furniture.  Under normal circumstances, you would keep the door open and let your dog use the crate as a resting space, away from the family.  Excellent workmanship and a selection of woods and stains mean that these crates are nearly indistinguishable from your standard end table or coffee table.  If you need to go out and want to enclose your dog in the crate, you merely slide in the front panel and it becomes a crate like any other.

Dog crate pads are made specifically for these crates, but you can probably use a standard pad as well.  Whether your dog prefers fleece or cotton, there is bound to be such a pad that can be placed comfortably within your wooden crate.  Many of the crates open from the top, making clean out easy and getting the pad for a quick wash simple.

Your best selection of wooden dog crates can be found online.  While they are a bit more expensive than a standard wire crate, these crates serve a double purpose of both style and comfort.
