Best Fans for Dogs

There’s nothing wrong with putting your dog in their crate, and in fact, many dogs actually enjoy spending some time in their crate each day! However, as the temperature rise, leaving your dog in their crate can go from uncomfortable to unsafe pretty quickly.

Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to beat the heat in your dog’s crate, the most effective way being a crate fan. These are little fans that increase airflow through your pup’s crate, keeping them much cooler. However, if you’re going to invest in a fan to keep Fido cool, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the best option for your pup.

Here is a list of our top choices for crate fans.
