Title: Insulated dog crate
Post by: bowjunkie on December 04, 2016, 06:14:28 PM: I have a line on an aluminum insulated dog crate wanted to know what peoples thoughts were on these are they worth having Or a waste of money. It would run me about 200$ used.

It will help reflect heat back on the dog in the cold and keep the box cool in the warmer months by bouncing the heat back outside.

What would you buy.

Yep, usually you can pull the insulation out and there good to go. Also, with a rough tough. If you have a mud river kennel cover, I've had my dogs in it in nodak in negative weather and it works great.
