Welcome to the Shor-Line Blog!

Beautiful, durable Shor-Line cages have been a mainstay in animal care for decades but our creative customers are finding new uses for them every day.

1. Mobile recovery care. Especially for small practices, there will be times when someone needs to cover the front desk or chart in the office as well as keep an eye on a recovering patient. A mobile cage can provide flexibility.

2. Play breaks for Daycare. Although many dog daycares advertise "cage free," we have worked with many who have found that having cages for break time actually improves the pets' experience. The dogs have a place to rest, nap and regroup before going back out  with friends. One daycare provider reported the breaks reduced the need for "timeouts" and the overall atmosphere improved.

3. Housing for Exotics. There will be times when you need to take in rabbits, guinea pigs or other exotics. The mobile 4' cage bank gives them a secure home away from home...you roll it to the best place for the exotic pets to rest! 

4. Felines with Upper Respiratory Infections. Keeping cats isolated from the general population is a key component for controlling disease. An Isolation Cage with a tempered glass door provides the cat's needs. Don't forget to have staff clean that room and cage last to avoid cross contamination.

5. O2 cage. With pets living longer and chronic disease treatments improving, senior pets may need short-term oxygen support. You can convert most Shor-Line cages into O2 cages with an oxygen door. (Some earlier cage models will need a conversion kit.) Pair the door with an oxygen concentrator, and you can improve the quality of the pet's life without uncomfortable O2 masks.
