Dog Gates for Dog Safety-Size Matters
There are many reasons as to why a dog gate is wonderful to
have in the home for the issue of dog training. But another reason why
dog owners should have a dog gate, is because they keep the dogs safe.
There are areas of a home or a residential area that could prove harmful to the
safety of a dog. For example, the top of a stairwell could be dangerous for a
toy sized dog. Pantries are tempting entry ways for dogs, because there
is food in the pantry. However, the dog could jump on the shelves, and
cans and bottles could fall on the dog. The dog would incur injuries, and
possibly concussions from falling cans and bottles. Then again, there are
areas such as the kitchen or the bathroom sinks. These areas are notorious for
housing dangerous household chemicals. All these areas and more need to
be protected entry ways so that the dog doesn't get hurt.
There are different makes of dog gates. There plastic, metal, mesh, and fiberglass gates that can be used around the home, or in a residential area. The type of dog gate that should be bought depends upon several needs. The size of the dog matters. Obviously a compact or a short dog gate isn't going to house a large dog. The material of the gate matters as well. Again, a large dog isn't going to be contained by a flimsy, plastic dog gates. As a matter of fact, if the gate isn't solid enough for the weight and the body of the dog, the dog will hurt itself trying to knock the gate down. Their paws or teeth could get caught in the openings. To prevent this from happening, it's best to consider the personality, the breed, the height, and the weight of the dog before purchasing a dog gate.
Certain types of dog gates would go well around various areas of the house. A nice hardwood dog gate for example would go well in living room openings, or in den room openings. However, it's not recommended to use a wooden or a plastic gate model at the top of stairwells. This is a dangerous area in of itself, and if the gate isn't held steady, the dog will get caught in the gate, fall down the stairs, and possible incur more injury than what the dog was being protected from in the first place. A fiberglass gate might be idea for smaller sized dogs, especially if their nails are trimmed and clipped. Of course, large and tall dogs need a strong and sturdy dog gate. There are gates designed on tension spring models. This may or may not work for a larger dog. This model might be too delicate. If the dog owner can find a model that locks in place, this might be best.
