about us

Having experienced a minor car crash just yards from home, we started to worry about the effects of a crash if the dogs were in the car at the time. We looked at all the car crates for dogs available in the UK market which were all of a similar design, then happened to be attending an automotive trade fair when we saw these extremely robust looking cages. We tested them for a year in our own car, before becoming the UK distributor for these cages, and whilst we were fortunate that the crate wasn't put to the test, we were (and are!) very happy with the product. We launched the product at a small community event in Beckenham, organised by our local police in 2007; then went on to display them at Paws in the Park and a PDSA show in Bromley. Since then we've shown our crates at All About Dogs, The Macmillan Dog Day, The Cold Wet Nose Show, The Wag & Bone Show, The Edenbridge and Oxted Agricultural Show, The Autumn Show & Game Fair held at the Sound of England Centre, Ardingly, West Sussex and Discover Dogs. In March 09 we displayed at Crufts for the first time.

On a personal level we're delighted with our own crate. Since one of our own dogs had operations on his legs and spine we travelled about 4,000 miles in twelve months to and from Fitzpatrick Referrals in Surrey (well worth all the driving as our little boy is now running round like a puppy again - thanks Noel!) We also covered much mileage on our last holiday - a two week tour of beautiful Scotland, including a stay at Guisachan, the ancestral home of the golden retriever.

We've met some lovely dogs (and people!) on our travels, and are pleased to say that our crates have the seal of approval from golden retrievers, flatcoated retrievers, dobermanns, rottweilers, German shepherds, border collies, rough collies, bearded collies, labradors, springer spaniels, poodles, labradoodles, beagles, Italian spinones, boxers, cocker spaniels, whippets, field spaniels, beaucerons, shar peis, Manchester terriers, Eurasiers, Chow Chows, Portuguese water dogs, Pyrenean sheepdogs, Japanese Akitas, chihuahuas and a husky. We've even had a Newfoundland try the crate for size - he fitted in OK but he had a sister who couldn't squeeze in with him!
