By Scot Korth on October 12th, 2009
You’ve seen the street signs and billboards advertising to buy your home, no matter how ugly it may be. If you’re like most people, you may have silently wondered, “Who buys those ugly homes?” The answer is simple: pet owners.
If you’ve been to the retail chain pet stores lately, you’ve noticed that the there is little diversity in the choice of indoor dog cratesoffered to pet owners. You really have two choices, metal cage or molded plastic. If you’re lucky, you may be able to choose between a few drab colors, depending on the size of the crate that fits your needs.
Five years ago, if you’d searched online for something even slightly different from the ubiquitous offerings at the big chain stores, you would have found yourself out of luck. The choices to consumers left a great deal to be desired. There simply wasn’t a better alternative for dog owners who wanted a more stylish indoor dog crate for their homes.
Today, you’re in luck. Using the phrase, “designerdog crates” a simple online search produces some badly-needed variety for people interested in sprucing up their dog’s home, as well as their own. Try searching with the phrase, “modern dog crate” and you’ll find some stylish, unique, and functional products that do more than simply house your dog while you’re away.
With just a bit of online searching, you can find indoor dog crates that match the interior design of your home or office. If you like solid wood or wicker, there are some fine choices that will suit the needs of you and your dog. If your style is contemporary, a simple Google search of the phrase, “contemporary dog crates” provides you with some sophisticated choices for the dog owner who desires an indoor dog home that not only looks stylish, but that is sure to become a conversation piece at the next cocktail party.
If you’re looking for something truly unique, why not try a stylish indoor dog crate that also doubles as a piece of furniture. Geared toward people living the urban, city lifestyle, where living space is often at a premium, one stylish choice for discerning dog owners is designed to function as an indoor dog crate and as a piece of furniture. Imagine your guests setting down their cocktails on your sofa table or end table, only to find your dog napping peacefully below.
The pet industry has boomed to amulti-billion dollar industry, but that doesn’t mean that you have to be a millionaire to afford a designer indoor crate for your pet. In the last few years there have been a number of forward-thinking companies that have decided to offer products that better fit the needs of people who use indoor crates to house their pets. A quick comparison of prices yields more unique and creative alternatives at similar costs to what you’d end up paying for the molded plastic crates at the big box retail stores.
If you like the idea of a crating your dog in something more sophisticated, stylish, and unique, you’re not alone. While the proper crate can provide your dog with the safety, comfort, and security it needs when you’re not home, it can now finally offer you the design, sophistication, and functionality that not only fits within your budget, but fits the style of your home.
