Buying a crate online

toadfly

Hi we need to get a crate for Lexi for travelling to my mams at the weekend, we have a harness for her that we use in the car but the OH has just gotten a Ford Kuga commercial so massive space in the back and no divide to stop her coming into the front.

It wasnt due to be delivered for two weeks but he got it yesterday so need to buy a crate for her sooner than we thought. We seen a large one online last night for €49 & €9 delivery but cant find it now :rolleyes:

I know of zooplus but anywhere else good we can buy online? Money is fairly tight at the minute so any suggestions welcome, thanks.

BTW she is a Staff cross so I think a large one is what we are looking for.

Anyone ever bought from this company?

That looks identical to the one I have except it has only one door. Does the job. Only thing is I lifted it out of the car one day, left it on the ground and forgot about it and it got rained on. It rusted up a bit around the bottom, but if it's just going to stay in the car go for it.

(Knew I was going to end up doing that :rolleyes:)

Tilly, you should have a look on donedeal, Gumtree and Adverts.ie for a second hand one. Im picking one up from an Adverts.ie ad this week off someone. A 36" for 35euro so you should look for a second hand one to save you some money maybe?

i am in the market for a midsize one meself. my little terrier is quite the chicken (wind, heavy rain, lightning etc and she is pegging it for cover) and i am sick of her trying to burrow behind the telly pulling on the cables.

newho we are pls god moving by the end of august and a, where i will be putting the telly she will not be able to hide behind it, and b, she will be sleeping in the hall under the stairs. so i wanted to create her a little hidey environment so she would feel safe. i was gonna get a crate, teach her about it first (leaving door open so she would wander in and out - she likes to explore), then put a blanket over three sides, leaving the front uncovered so she gets used to the blanket, then finally draping the blanket over the open door, where she can walk under the blanket and hide in the covered crate, with the door open if she wants to get out.

what do people think? any suggestions on size etc?

Where are you travelling to, theres someone on another forum I'm on has just put a large crate up for sale, only used 3 times, based in Sligo. Any chance you are coming up this way and could get it on the way? Or maybe you know someone who works in Sligo and travels home to galway every weekend?;)

Hi Tillygirl,
Was just browsing the A&PI when I seen your post.

I only bought a crate a few weeks ago. We wanted it for two med sized dogs to sleep in at night, so I got the largest one I could find.

Petmania had a sale on crates (maybe 3-4 wks ago). I think it was 25% off. I could find loads reasonably priced online, but the delivery was unbelievable money. I ended up buying it there because I was only saving maybe €10, buying it online. It worked out about €95 for the crate.

The link you posted is almost identical to the one I got, except mine doesn't have the second door.

Hope that helps

I ordered this one Sunday night and was delivered by nightline this morning, €43.90 inc delivery so hopefully its good enough quality. Time will tell!

I got mine on ebay about 3 years ago, got it from the UK for about 60 euro at the time inc post and package, Its a large one too fits my German Shepherd twice over!

You've probably got one by now but if you haven't,try Horkan's in castlebar. They do Savic brand crates and they are brilliant. I don't have their number off hand but. Try golden pages. One for your size dog should set you back about 75 quid and i'm pretty sure they'll send it out to you. Good luck.
