Pets come in all shapes and sizes. Yours may be a cute little kitten, a big floppy bunny rabbit or a slithery python but they all need a place to call their own, where they have some peace and tranquillity just like we do. This generally means an enclosure of some sort. Pet enclosures, like your pets are all different and should be chosen based on your pet’s individual needs.

So what to choose?

With so many enclosures out there, the decision can be difficult, especially when you are buying for a growing pet. What would suit a kitten or puppy may not suit an adult dog or cat and vice versa. Then there are materials and environment to consider. So many questions!

It doesn’t have to be difficult if you follow some simple guide lines.

Small puppies can still make large dogs!

Generally small puppies make for small dogs but this isn’t always the case. Mixed breed dogs don’t always give an accurate view especially when you have large and small breeds mixing.  The idea is to overestimate when it comes to play room, dogs regardless of any age should have plenty of roaming room to stretch their legs and more so if they aren’t able to be walked daily. Exercise is a key component to any beings health and wellbeing and dogs love a good run!

Close quarters

Sleeping enclosures can be a very different thing, most baby animals especially enjoy close confines and warmth when sleeping, no different to swaddling a baby really. When they are with their mother and siblings, animals huddle together for feeding and warmth so sleeping enclosures such as breeding boxes for chickens or birds or dog or cat kennels/beds should be more enclosed and allow  room for easy movement but not too much.

Make it yours

Good pet runs can become open form structures that adapt to yours and your pets growing needs. It may be that you put in a veggie garden or increase your family to include another pet; runs can expand or change to meet your needs. Pet runs are also handy for keeping contained a pet that likes to wander the neighbourhood or jump fences, giving your pet lots of room and still keeping them secure.  A good pet run will have accessories such as single panels, entry gates and rooves so you can create areas especially suited to your environment.

In the long run, your pet’s environment must be safe from hazards, secure and comfortable for them. Appropriate shelter from the elements, lots of clean fresh water and good food, plenty of space of their own and of course an abundance of love will keep your pets feeling happy and healthy. Future proofing their environment now means many years of happy pet ownership for you.
