Designed for NYPD - Available to you

The design for these crates was born out of a collaboration with the New York Police Department (NYPD). The K9 unit was looking for a crate that would allow for convenient, secure transportation of some of their most valued personnel - their dogs. These aluminum dog crates are trusted for protection by people whose job is to protect all of us. You can’t get more safe than that.

Made to Fit

A side door dog crate makes travel a breeze. Forget wrangling your crate into your car’s back seat at weird angles - with a door on the crate’s side, it easily fits in the back of many vehicle configurations, leaving you with cargo room to spare. This feature makes the crate extra appealing for pet parents who might not have a ton of extra space in their home as well.

10 Year Warranty

Make adventuring with your best friend as simple and safe as possible - and know that with our 10-year warranty, product quality is guaranteed.

COMMON FAQ'S

My dog has separation anxiety, is an escape artist, or is a large breed with high drive. Can this crate help?

Yes, Rock Creek Crates are engineered to hold up to the strongest dogs and outlast other dog crates. Rock Creek Crates are built with an internal welded aluminum frame. This frame acts as a rugged backbone for your crate adding unparalleled strength, structural integrity, and safety. All external features connect directly into the frame giving your crate extra support where needed most. For high anxiety, escape artists, or large/high-drive dogs we highly recommend adding a door guardto your crate.

Can I switch the direction of the door?

Yes! Our crate doors normally open from right to left. However, if you request it, we can switch the direction it opens. Contact us with your specific needs and we’ll customize your crate to suit you and your dog.

Do you offer custom crate sizes?

The aluminum skins we use to build our crates are specifically designed for our listed crate sizes. As a result, we are unable to make custom sizes. We have a list of awesome people who make custom sized dog crates/kennels. Reach out to us and we’d be happy to share their contact information.

Can I take a Rock Creek Crate on a commercial airline flight?

The stationary crate can become airline compliant with the IATA kit, which can be found on our Accessories page. Each airline has specific requirements for flying with pet cargo; we highly recommend contacting your chosen airline in advance.

Are your crates crash tested?

We worked with the Center for Pet Safety when designing the newest version of our stationary crate. Our stationary crates have been crash tested and will receive their official report from the Center for Pet Safety in early 2021.
