Safety is a top priority for any dog owner, and heavy-duty crates often come equipped with numerous safety features. The metal construction minimizes the risk of injury or harm, unlike cheaper plastic crates that can easily crack or break. Additionally, many crates have rounded corners and smooth edges, preventing your pet from getting hurt while inside. The metal pan also adds an extra layer of safety; in the event of an accident, the pan can be easily removed for cleaning, ensuring that your pet remains in a hygienic environment.
