HELPFUL ACCESSORIES
|
Do not confuse Doghealth Cages with cheaper less safe ones which are widely
available from other companies.
Doghealth is the name trusted by many animal welfare organisations for
safety, strength and flexibility.
Doesn't your pet deserve the same cage as the professionals choose?
As you can see by the
picture opposite, other companies sell cages claiming that they are
'strong' but this is not always true.
If a dog does this amount of
damage to a cage then the cage is obviously of very poor quality and the
dog would be lucky not to suffer serious injury from 'spikes' sticking out
from the bars it has snapped.
You have been warned!

About the DH range.
This range of fold flat dog cages are built
to combine safety and durability. You want
your dog to have the best and we aim to make that possible.
They are made of heavy gauge steel which will contain the most Houdini like dog. These
crates are built to last - Before the final finish they are fully galvanised to give long term protection against rust
and then finished in hammerite to ensure
that there are no bare metal surfaces which will be in contact with the dog.
We know of no other cage which offers this double coating, so prolonging cage life and
maximising safety.
They have twin doors for maximum flexibility and a heavy duty non rattle plastic tray - easy to keep clean and with
no dangerous sharp edges. All doors are bolt action, designed to be dog safe - the bolt
has to be raised before being drawn to keep the most ingenious dog safely contained and
they are extremely easy to fold and put up.
The picture on the left shows just how strong our cages
are, you can't do that with a standard cage!
To the right is a picture showing the Galvanised panels
used in the cages. The bottom half of the panel has had
the powder coating removed to show the galvanised
steel frame beneath. This will prevent rusting even in
the event of the powder coating being chipped or
scratched.

Why
Choose Our Cages?
 |
 |
Our cages have rounded
corners for strength and safety.
Cheaper cages are spot welded
at the corners giving a sharp edge
and potential 'spike'
if the weld breaks. |

Our cages |

These
cages are constructed of heavy gauge steel, not cheap thin wire. The thicker the
steel the greater the strength, and the stronger the welds
(Look at the
pictures above, if two people can stand on a cage it’s strong)
On our cages the frames are 4mm gauge wire with rounded corners for added
safety.
The mesh is 3mm gauge. Also look at the distance between the mesh. Larger
spacing between the wire means reduced strength. The spacing we favour is 25mm x
100mm. For our giant cage the mesh size is 25mm x 125mm.
The door
catches we use are “dogsafe” This means that they have to be raised before
being drawn. The bolt is thick 5mm gauge– because you need extra strength
here!!
Metal tray or plastic? A metal tray
is often a cheap tin tray with no serious protection against corrosion. It will
have sharp edges which can injure your pet. When you disinfect it any coating to
protect against corrosion will be reduced. And if you use it in a car it will
rattle. We use heavy duty plastic trays – they slide out for easy cleaning,
they are very robust, they are not damaged by cleaning and they have no sharp
edges.
Why A Doghealth cage?
You will
see that our prices are higher than those of some other vendors. Look carefully
at our pictures and we have tried to summarise the key points of difference with
our crates. We sell a high quality product which is why at the last count we
have sold over thousands of crates on this site alone.
Our Philosophy
We
specialise in supplying crates for show dog owners and professional users ( e.g.
police, military, security companies, veterinarians) – Our customers insist on
guaranteed safety, security and convenience.
Features of a Doghealth fold flat cage
We have
designed our cages for the
UK
, not just
bought a load of cheap universal crates. Our design incorporates SAFETY,
DURABILITY, SECURITY and CONVENIENCE all at a
superb price.
1 designed for SAFETY.
So
there are no sharp edges spikes or corners which can harm you or your pet. So if
you look at the pictures below you will see that all corners are rounded
with no sharp edges. Likewise, we do not use metal trays which have sharp edges.
Importantly, the final coating on the crate is a non toxic
hammerite finish so there is no possibility of a dog ingesting any toxic
substance through licking.
2. Designed for DURABILITY.
You cannot expect a lightweight cage to have a life much over one season. The
clips go, the welds break open the paint chips and rust sets in. With a
Doghealth cage, we build to last. All our cages are firstly galvanised to prevent any corrosion and then secondly powder
coated to ensure that the dog is not exposed to a metal coating. This process
ensures a safe and long life for the cage.
3. Designed for SECURITY.
It is surprising how a dog can force its way out of a poorly manufactured cage.
So we use heavy duty wire to manufacture the cage and we don’t economise on
the clips which attach the panels together. All doors are twin bolted with
special dog safe bolts that have to be lifted before they are pulled open.
4. Designed for CONVENIENCE.
All crates have twin doors, the finish makes them easy to keep clean, they fold
and erect easily. Carrying handles are designed to be comfortable for the user.
The hammerite finish is designed to be easy to sponge down so there is no excuse
for poor hygiene!
We are a member of The Petcare Trust and the Traders
Guild, and as such when you purchase from us you have absolute assurance that we
are a reputable supplier.
Our direct purchasing from the factory means we can
offer a show quality dog cage for the price of a cheap economy model.
