Our story.  In 1975 East Coast Crates was born in a garage on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland and like many great ideas it was founded on necessity.  While training and competing in field trials with his Labs, Pete constructed his first aluminum dog crate for his own use and soon began making crates for others.

 

Rachel has been a breeder owner handler of top winning Afghan Hounds for over 40 years. Along the way Pete and Rachel met at a dog show and were married. Pete and Rachel's combined experience and skillset have forever changed the way people go to dog shows and travel with their dogs.

 

What started as a hobby has grown into the largest provider of aluminum dog crates in the country.  We are a proud and happy company employing skilled craftsmen who are passionate and colorful.   We are enthusiastic about what we do and how we do it.  Our aluminum crates and tackboxes are fully assembled and proudly handcrafted one at a time to insure the higest quality, longest lasting product to thousands of satisfied customers.
