Dog Crate Furniture – Multi-Functional & Home-Friendly

One of PawHut‘s most popular innovations is dog crate furniture – a stylish enclosure that also serves as a side table, end table, or console. These PawHut wooden dog crates feature a solid wood or MDF exterior with a lockable front door, a removable cushioned top, and often a second storage compartment. The PawHut Dog Crate Table Grey is a bestseller – it holds up to 50kg on top, making it perfect for a lamp, books, or photo frames. For larger breeds, the PawHut Dog Crate Furniture Walnut Brown accommodates extra-large dogs while providing a beautiful wood finish that complements any living room.

Wire Dog Crates & Heavy-Duty Cages – Durable & Secure

For pet owners who prioritise visibility and ventilation, PawHut dog cages made from powder-coated steel or metal are the ideal choice. These crates feature two doors (front and side), a removable plastic tray for easy cleaning, and fold-flat designs for storage or travel. The PawHut Metal Dog Cage with Wheels includes lockable castors, making it easy to move from room to room. For puppies or small breeds, the PawHut Collapsible Dog Travel Cage is lightweight and portable – ideal for car journeys or visiting friends.

Choosing the Right Size & Material for Your Dog

Selecting the correct PawHut dog crate size ensures your dog feels safe, not cramped. Use this guide based on our material and size filters:

Small Breeds (up to 10kg): Look for crates around 60-70cm length. The PawHut Dog Crate End Table White (81x58.5cm) is perfect for a Cavalier or French Bulldog.
Medium Breeds (10-25kg): Choose crates 80-100cm long. The PawHut Dog Crate Furniture 100cm Brown suits a Beagle or Cocker Spaniel.
Large & Extra-Large Breeds (25-50kg+): Go for 110-120cm+ crates. The PawHut Dog Crate Furniture Extra Large Grey gives a Labrador or German Shepherd room to stand and turn.
Material Choice: Wooden crates (MDF/particle board) blend with decor but are heavier. Steel wire crates are lighter, easier to clean, and fold flat – ideal for travel. Oxford polyester crates are soft-sided and best for calm, non-chewing dogs.

For multi-dog households, consider a double dog crate or a PawHut dog playpen for more roaming space.

Crate Training Tips & Maintenance

A PawHut dog crate is a training tool, not a punishment. Follow these best practices:

Introduce gradually: Leave the door open with treats inside. Let your dog explore at their own pace.
Make it cosy: Add a soft bed or blanket (many PawHut crates include a washable cushion) and a favourite toy.
Never use for punishment: The crate should be a positive, safe space. Avoid locking your dog inside for long periods.
Cleaning wire crates: Slide out the plastic tray and wash with mild soap. Wipe metal bars with a damp cloth.
Cleaning wooden crates: Use a pet-safe cleaner on interior surfaces. Exterior wood can be dusted or wiped gently.
For puppies: Start with a smaller crate (or use a divider) to prevent accidents – dogs naturally avoid soiling their sleeping area.

Frequently Asked Questions About PawHut Dog Crates

❓ What is the difference between a PawHut dog crate and a playpen?

A PawHut dog crate is an enclosed, den-like space with a roof, door, and usually a tray floor – ideal for sleeping, travel, or short-term containment. A playpen is an open-top, modular enclosure (wire or fabric panels) that gives your dog more room to move and play for longer periods. For crate training, start with a crate. For daytime containment while you’re home, a playpen offers more freedom.

❓ Are PawHut wooden dog crates suitable for chewers?

PawHut wooden dog crates (MDF or particle board) are durable but not chew-proof. For determined chewers, a steel wire crate is a better choice – metal bars resist teeth damage. If you love the furniture style but have a mild chewer, the PawHut Dog Crate with Anti-Chew Mesh adds an extra layer of protection.

❓ Can I use a PawHut dog crate for two dogs?

Yes. PawHut offers double dog crates designed for two pets, such as the PawHut Double Dog Crate Furniture – it has two separate compartments, each with its own door. Alternatively, an extra-large single crate can house two small dogs, but they should be crate-trained together and have plenty of space. Always supervise initially.
