Guardian_Zer0 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hey guys/gals I was given a crate for willow the other day and I think it's a pretty good size for her but I'd like some feedback from everyone else.

Maz51 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 PerfectSent from my SM-G900F using Husky Owners mobile app Just need an old banker or padded bed if she doesn't chew these? Elbows & knees get calloused and the base is harder than ground/earth which can cause joint issues later. A good hard black nylon zip-on cover dog bed is great. Steam cleaning also better than washing as it does deodorise and wiping over with a mop works too. The inner padding can be washed separately.. as the inner waterproof section on cover starts to break up otherwise.Sent from my SM-G900F using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael_Astro Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 That looks good to me! Same size as mine I think Mine are in the crate with no bedding as they just rip bedding to shreds Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz51 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Old curtains from charity shops do last a bit as old blankets. . Cured mine from shredding. . I get small size blanket/rugs.. on top of their bedding - Chester likes his comfort sucker!Sent from my SM-G900F using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian_Zer0 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I have a blanket I will be putting in there with her, as for beds she's destroyed two of them (both in the same week.) but for some reason she refused to tear up that blanket lol. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Just a tip Zip tie the sides and corners. Two on each side and one around each corner. Huskies are notorious for escaping these crates. Also the door that's not going to be used, they WILL learn how to manipulate the closing mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and when Koda has his first day in his crate, I came home and the crate was at the opposite end of the kitchen to when I had left with him still in it hahaSent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lucky enough to have some laying in my toolbox. This only only has the one door in the front but I'm sure she will still figure out a way to open it up lol. Ended up getting two crate bowls for her yesterday and some new toys just to make it less stressful.
