As a certified animal behavior consultant, I teach clients canine house training techniques, as well as how to keep their dogs feeling secure, safe and happy using dog crates. A crate satisfies the dog’s needs for a pooch-friendly private retreat and gives you a safe place to confine your dog when necessary. And thanks to more stylish dog crate furniture hitting the market, it won’t cause an eyesore that distracts from your decor. You can even include fashionable dog toys to complete the look.

Maybe your dog isn’t used to visiting family with toddlers and needs a time out. Or perhaps surgery requires pooch confinement to recover. Older dogs that have potty accidents may need periodic confinement to keep your carpets clean and prevent furniture stains.

The best dog crate furniture blends in with your home decor or even serves as a statement piece. It’s trendy, cute, functions well in small spaces and tells the world your pooch deserves the best. While aesthetic dog crates cost more than the standard unitarian options, they do function as a stylish piece of furniture in your home. Besides, isn’t spoiling your best friend worth it?

Made from particle board, steel frame and metal wire, this dog crate from Feandrea stands up to chewing better than many other dog crate furniture choices (please be aware that no crate prevents chewing altogether).
