Beagles are beloved for their friendly demeanor, boundless energy, and curious nature. These medium-sized hounds are social butterflies, making them ideal companions for families and active individuals. However, Beagles are also known for their strong noses and inquisitive personalities, which often lead them into mischief. Their high energy levels and determination mean they require a structured environment to thrive.

Owning a Beagle is a joy, but it also comes with unique challenges. From managing their adventurous streak to ensuring they feel secure, a high-quality dog crate can be an essential tool for every Beagle owner.

Why Your Beagle Needs a Quality Dog Crate

A durable and comfortable dog crate isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity for Beagle owners. Here’s why:

1. Safety and Security
   Beagles are natural explorers, often guided by their noses. This curiosity can lead them into potentially dangerous situations, such as accessing harmful household items or wandering off during travel. A sturdy crate keeps your Beagle safe and gives you peace of mind.

2. Stress Relief
   Beagles are social dogs who thrive in the presence of their family but can experience separation anxiety when left alone. A crate acts as a cozy, den-like retreat where they can feel calm and protected, even when you’re not home.

3. Protection for Your Home
   Beagles are active chewers and can be quite resourceful when bored. A crate provides boundaries, protecting your belongings and ensuring your Beagle doesn’t get into trouble.

4. Travel-Friendly Comfort
   Whether it’s a trip to the vet or a family vacation, a crate makes traveling safer and more comfortable for your Beagle.

Customer Stories & Reviews

• Regained My Sanity "I rescued a young beagle /American Foxhound mix who slowly started to show his anxiety. I bought a 36” wire crate not knowing the trouble he would put us through just for attention. He pushed his nose through the wires, bent and bit them. In a few weeks those wires snapped off and he had a 6”x6.5”opening to poke his head through, perfect for his next stunt - to pull off the bottom latch with his mouth and escape through the bottom corner of the door. Smart dog. During one of his destructions he also lost a tooth. That’s when I decided enough was enough, he needed to be safe. He’s stubborn and wont know when to stop. I decided to buy the 34” high anxiety crate. I immediately placed the Impact crate where his wire crate was and kept the door open. On his terms he went in, rested comfortably and I closed the door with my fingers crossed. Following morning I found him peaceful and relaxed. It worked! Next challenge: when it’s bedtime, but feels it’s still playtime. Sounds mean, but one night I had to nudge him in his Impact crate. He knew right then and there it wasn’t playtime. Sometimes exercise doesn’t exhaust him. I closed the door and not a peep came out of him although I got those sad puppy eyes. Following morning I found him sound asleep. AMAZING!!! Worth every penny! My rescue has calmed down significantly. I can’t say it’ll be this easy for everyone. My pup needed to be safe in his crate and this Impact crate did it 1000%. Now when he’s left home alone he goes right into his crate and naps to pass the time. No more whining, no more accidents. The best part is I haven’t even installed the door guards. I definitely will when we travel. Don’t hesitate and buy this crate for you and your pup’s peace of mind. I could've saved myself some gray hairs."

• 5 Stars! "I have an eight year old beagle mix (Riley). I adopted him five years ago from a shelter. Riley has severe separation anxiety that has led to destruction of interior doors, window ledges, exterior door trimming, as well as about four different crates and numerous household objects. He’s had extensive and costly training and been on multiple medication regimens to control his anxiety that have been wholly ineffective. It was to the point where my partner and I could not leave the house without hiring a sitter for him. He has worn down and broken teeth and nails in his escape efforts. Our whole life was scheduled around preventing leaving Riley home alone. This crate is simply the best! He is unable to get out in any way. We have a camera near his crate and can hear him trying to scratch at the door as well as barking, howling, and crying. He fluctuates from being anxious and trying to get out to being silent and presumably asleep (we have the door guards on so we are unable to see him through that with the camera). I know he isn’t 100% content all the time in the crate when he’s alone. Although this is upsetting, I do know he is 100% physically safe in the crate. Gone are the days of coming home to a broken, bleeding, exhausted dog and my home in shambles. This crate is expensive, but given the quality of the product, completely worth it. Impact Dog Crates did an amazing job designing a truly escape proof crate. I never have to worry about Riley hurting himself trying to get out of a crate again. I feel like I have my life back!"

• Game changer, don’t hesitate to order "I rescued a beagle that has severe separation anxiety. I’ve tried several different crates and none seem to work without him damaging them and coming close to escaping. The high anxiety crate has been a game changer. I no longer watch him on my home camera try to escape and fear he’s going to injure himself. I wish I had found impact crate sooner. Walter is so much happier in his new crate and I no longer have anxiety watching him try to escape. The crate is an investment for sure, but money well spent considering the possible emergency vet bills that I was anticipating due to his anxiety and trying to escape from his past crate. I will definitely buy the collapsible crate for traveling purposes."
