Choosing a Dog Box
Posted 04/17/2012
If you are in the market for a dog box to haul your dogs to field trials and hunting, there are a number of decisions you
need to make. First you need to select a dog box that will work with your vehicle. Make sure to have the make/model/year
handy when you talk to the dog box dealer or to match the exterior size dimensions of the dog box to the internal
measurements you take on your truck, SUV or Mini-Van. Next size the dog box interior dimensions for your dogs breed
height and weight and the expected outcome after growth of a puppy. You will want to have room for the dog inside the compartment
consistent with comfort for longer travel which may include air flow venting to insure optimal temperature for your
dog during transport. Storage is another big consideration. Storage is nice to have for hunting accessories, for example
shotgun shells, leashes, collars, waterfowl calls, first aid kits, etc. If you can afford a little extra its worth it.
The rugged and welded construction of a diamond tread aluminum dog box provides you with maximum safety and durability
to with stand harsh conditions. Not all dog boxes are created equally and you want to make sure you get one with these key features:
light-weight construction
welded constrcution
sufficient room for your dogs breed/height/weight
rugged diamond tread aluminum
lockable commercial grade slam latch doors
carrying handles
Front, Side and/or Rear Slide Air Vents or winter slides or removable storm door cover
Storage Top or Bottom drawer
Fan (Optional)
Pads (Optional)
Awnings (Optional)
Finally, The resale value of your investment will most likely not decline. The prices of aluminum is increasing and it seems likely that
used dog box will retain significant value in the event you want to trade up or out.
