Advantages: Helps toilet training, secure and safe place for your dog Disadvantages: Could be misused if you leave your dog in it for a long time, takes up quite a bit of space
When you are preparing to bring a puppy home there are lots of things you need to have a bed, food and water bowls, toys, collar and a lead. Alongside all these items we also bought a Dog-it Animal Crate made by Hagen when we brought our puppy home in July.
Why a crate?
=
Our breeder recommended a crate both for toilet training and also for providing the puppy with a safe area so he wouldn't come to any harm when we weren't there and also so he couldn't damage things when we were out. A crate is basically a large cage designed for your dog.
The crate we bought
We bought a Dog-it 2 door wire crate, our breeder was kind enough to take us to a pet cash and carry and these were the ones available there and we got it for a lot cheaper than it retails in the shops or online. The Dogit 2 door crate ...
Advantages: Bright and spacious Disadvantages: Fiddly to clean
I bought my daughter a hamster for her birthday along with one of the small Rotastak cages. We then discoverd that the cage wasn't really big enough for the hamster.
Whilst in our local garden centre I came across the Pink Palace cage. It was also half price so cost me £25 (£5 less than the original cage I bought).
Of course, as soon as my daughter opened the present she wanted it assembled. The cage itself wasn't a problem, the spiral tube was what caused me a nightmare. The pieces are quite tight (which obviously stops them coming apart at a later date) but this did mean they were very hard to put together in the first place. The cage probably took me about 40 minutes to put together in the end (which doesn't seem too bad but feels like an eternity when you have an 8 year old nagging you to be quick).
The end result ...
Advantages: Delivery Time met Disadvantages: Poor after sales service
I went and bought a bed from Dreams shop after many times of viewing and testing out some beds.
After three weeks of delivery time to wait I received my bed and this was professionally installed in the correct bedroom. Whilst I was happy with the bed mainly speaking in that the bed felt comfortable, it was the lack of after care sales service that really let Dreams down. I asked if I could have a refund or exchange of new bed which they claimed to offer hassle free return service, I was told that I had to pay an extra £500. At this point I felt overawed and outraged having paid £700 for a brand new bed to pay an extra £500 to have an exchange of bed. I felt that the level of customer service in dealing with this problem of mine to be a big let down for the company. The delivery time was stated as three weeks and they did at least ...
