Dog Boxes

Homemade Grass Boxes for Large Dogs

Some companies have begun manufacturing "grass boxes" for dog owners that live in apartments or condos. These are essentially square or rectangular boxes that sit low to the ground. They contain either a layer of sod or a piece of synthetic turf that your dog can use to go to the bathroom. Many are made for smaller dogs or cats, but you can make your own at home to accommodate a larger dog.

Homemade Truck Dog Boxes

While having a dog inside your truck's cab can be distracting and crowded, it is often illegal to have a dog riding unsecured in the back. A truck dog box helps to keep your pooch safe while traveling as it is secured to the bed of your truck. Building a dog box requires easy-to-find materials and should not take longer than a few hours.

A dog box is basically a portable dog house used to transport hunting dog breeds to the field. The box can be any size and generally has doors, locks and a way to attach the box to a vehicle. The doors can come off, when necessary, and dogs can also be tied to it.
