Common FAQs
My dog has: crate/separation anxiety, is an escape artist, or is a large breed with high drive. Can this crate help?
Yes, Rock Creek Crates are engineered to hold up to the strongest dogs and outlast other dog crates. Rock Creek Crates are built with an internal welded aluminum frame. This frame acts as a rugged backbone for your crate adding unparalleled strength, structural integrity, and safety. All external features connect directly into the frame giving your crate extra support where needed most. For high anxiety, escape artists, or large/high-drive dogs we highly recommend adding a door guardto your crate.
