From a comfortable indoor dog den to a crash-tested protective space in the bed of your truck, our crates are durable and tough (not to mention airline-approved!). The best part is, each crate comes with a 10 year warranty, is fully assembled, and ready to use.

We have specifically designed our dog crates for dogs who struggle with separation stress, or for furry Houdinis who have broken other crates. A RCC can provide your pup with a safe place to rest, nap, play with his toys, and sleep while you are away. Our internal frame provides strength like no other dog crate on the market. For dogs with crate anxiety we recommend adding a door guard.
All RCC crates ship fully assembled, at no extra cost, so you can start using them right away! We aim to make your experience hassle-free.
All of our crates are made in USA with US and global materials.

The RCC's medium stationary crate is the first and only aluminum dog crate to receive a 5 star certification from the Center for Pet Safety. It received a five-star crash test rating – the highest possible – the first time it was tested. Most crates require multiple tests to receive a rating, but our aluminum dog crate's toughness and durability were apparent enough after one test to not require follow-up testing. Click here to read the press release from the CPS.
Our indestructible dog crates feature a professionally welded internal tube frame made of aircraft-grade aluminum, making our products the safest dog kennel for travel on the market and the only lightweight aluminum crate that has been crash-tested by the Center for Pet Safety.

Our overbuilt doors provide increased ventilation, visibility, and airflow. Not to mention, peace of mind with standard butterfly latches, two panels of aircraft grade aluminum, welded inside and out, and solid aluminum bars.

REALIZED WE NEEDED ONE OF THESE STYLE CRATES AND NEEDED IT QUICK,, CALLED ROCK CREEK, SPOKE WITH SEAN AND CARSON. . OUSTANDING !! OPUTSTANDING SERVICE!! SO HELPFUL AND SMART! THEY LITERALLY LOOKED DOWN ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE AND HAD US A CRATE BEING RUSHED THE NEXT DAY!! ARRIVED AND REALIZED HOW WELL BUILT AND WELL-DESIGNED IT WAS! THIS IS THE KIND OF COMPANY AND PEOPLE YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH WHEN YOURE SPENDING GOOD MONEY FOR SOMETHING! THEY ARE GREAT! MORE AMERICAN COMPANIES SHOULD WAKE UP AND TAKE A CUSTOMER SERVICE LESSON FROM THESE PEOPLE. .

"I was so excited to get my 42" stationary crate. I was worried my dog might not take to a new crate since he had taken a while to get used to his old one. But he's transferred right into his Rock Creek and while he still doesn't want to spend time there when he can be out and about, he happily goes in every time and settles down. Absolutely no worries so far. If I could change anything it would be to be able to fit in a metal-framed pad but unfortunately all the appropriately sized ones aren't able to fit through the door of the crate. . . but that's not really the fault of Rock Creek!"

"solid build quality and nice finish. dog loves it"
— jameson r. (5/5)
"Our family has 2, 70lb German Shepherds and we have had our fair share of travel and house crates. We loved our original travel crate, but it was relatively bulky and we could never fit 2 in our SUV at the same time. Since our purchase was intended as a travel crate, we opted for something comfortable, but with a snugger/safer fit. We ordered the 36” stationary crate and it’s perfect! One of our girls fits comfortably inside, but it also lacks the extra “bulk” a lot of crates have and fits seamlessly in all of our vehicles. It’s super durable with some weight to it, but again, without being overly bulky. We also opted to add a second door to the rear of the crate so we can access our girls form the back trunk area, or inside of the car. We couldn’t be more satisfied and excited with this purchase."
— Natalie R. (5/5)
"Absolutely love. Solid kennel and much better than the other brand we had. My dog loves it and I know he is safe in the car now!"
— Kyra (5/5)
"Rock Creek Crates are fantastic! I am an agility competitor, coming out of the MimSafe VarioCage, due to size issues. My dogs and I are loving the RCC crates. They are extremely well built, super quiet (no rattles!), and fit all of the accessories I want. The service and fabrication teams were very helpful through the purchase process. They patiently worked with me to ensure I could fit a 36" and 30" standard in a 2022 Subaru Ascent (with only the 3rd row seats down), and were proactively communicative throughout the process. The crates shipped fully assembled and arrived in beautiful condition. I highly recommend Rock Creek Crates!"
— Karina (5/5)
"We managed to stack two crates in the cab of our Tundra and still have one back seat available for a human or gear."
— Lucy C. (5/5)
"I had researched crates for months. . . I wanted the safest boxes possible for traveling in our vehicle. . . Since this would be a Major purchase for us and had been saving the money for quite a while I studied Gunner, Ruffland,Lucky, Impact etc but kept coming back to Rock Creek because of them being 5 Star crash tested, attractive, easy to clean, lockable, lots of ventilation holes for great airflow and for my Ibizan Hounds to see out ,engineered for the doors to open and close easily,family business etc. . When I finally called Rock Creek Crates to talk about buying a crate the owner Shawn answered. . . Buying from him was a totally enjoyable experience, he made the entire process easy and simple. I received the crate quickly. It was wrapped in layers of protection and arrived in perfect condition. In short. . . I am 1000 Percent Thrilled with Rock Creek Crates and 1000 percent recommend them !!!"
