Bichon Frise Dog Crate Buyer’s Guide
There are thousands of different dog crates appropriate for the Bichon Frise, but the above five stuck out in the sea of options to me. There are many different metal or wire crates for dogs out there, but I and many other pet owners, prefer the softer carriers and dog crates for our furry friends. The above are only some of the many options available to you. I will go over some of the terms you will see while shopping for your dog crate, and why you would want each feature.
Lightweight
When you travel a lot it is important to get a dog crate that is light weight, especially if you are going to a place where you will be standing a lot or won’t want to put your furry friend down. The difference between light, medium or heavy dog crates may not seem like much when you only hold them for a minute but once you’re holding it for half an hour every ounce is magnified.
Soft Crate
Soft Crates are the ones that are collapsible or shiftable in material. Hard Dog Crates are generally made of things such as metal or wood while the Soft Crates are polyester, nylon, mesh or other such materials. I prefer Soft Crates because they feel more comfortable on my hand so they must be more comfy for my dog to relax in.
Shoulder Loups
Shoulder Loups are nice when you have to go to places such as the vet or an airplane. Usually the loups are made to interconnect and make for balancing the dog crate easy on your shoulders. When you buy a dog crate with Shoulder Loups be sure to check the fabric on them as if it is abrasive it will cut into your shoulder after a few minutes of use.
Collapsible
Collapsible Dog Crates are awesome for travel or someone who has little space. Whenever you finish using it, you can fold it up and put it into storage without taking up too much space. Great for car rides, you can either open the crate and keep it on the seat or close it and slide it under your seat.
Mesh Windows
Mesh Windows are a must when you live in a hot or muggy area. The mesh allows for added breathability while out on walks, going to places in the car, or just sitting at the vet. If your pup is long haired then it is even more important, but it is still a nice asset for short haired too.
Multiple Openings
If you have a Bichon Frise who refuses to cooperate when you try to get them into the dog crate then multiple openings may be the fix for you. Usually one of the openings is at the top, making it easy to slide your dog in with little to no fuss before sliding the top back into place.
Removable Cover
Having a Dog Crate with a Removable Cover is a fantastic time saver, even if the cover isn’t machine washable if you have ever had to try to clean a dog crate cover without it being removable you know how nice this is. Trying to wash a cover while it is on the crate is near impossible without breaking it.
Washable Cover
These are the peak of ease for cleaning. Not only are they removable, but all you have to do is throw the cover into the washing machine and done. Bichon Frise are known for their shedding and if you pair this product with a softener for pet hair it will be a dream come true.
