These offer a decorative answer to Fido's home-within-a-home needs.

     Cons: Often difficult to clean if your dog has an accident. Visibility often only through the door.

     Extras: Some come with a removable plastic pan.

     Cost: $140 to $250.

Wire
Grid size varies. Some have epoxy coating to increase durability and prevent rust.

     Pros: Great ventilation, typically sturdy, lots of visibility, and easy to clean. Some collapse for easy transport and storage.

     Cons: Sturdiness varies: Get one made of heavy gauge wire.

     Extras: Most come with a plastic pan; some come with a mat or pad. Many can expand to grow with your dog.

     Cost: $70 to $170.
