Discounted at Petco this week is the MidWest Homes for Pets Ovation Dog Crate (Single Door) all sizes, from $38-$77 ( 46%-60% off ) off list price.

Have a new puppy? Old crate seen better days? Let's take a look at this crate by Midwest Homes for Pets.

In mid November, ismypetsafe.com published a three part series on the subject of pet travel crates (also available as a single PDF white paper). A few days after publication, I reached out to all those mentioned for their comments on the report as well as any thoughts they might have on the Center for Pet Safety (CPS) crash tests.

This is part one of a three part study that makes an extensive investigatoin of the safety of pet travel crates and 'crash testing'. The entire study will be available as a single white paper after part three is published.

Have you ever been roped into helping out a friend only to find yourself spending far more time on their problem than you ever expected?
