  1. You can buy different bowls, either metal or heavy crock stoneware.


  2. How long is he kept in his crate?  If it's not too long - like overnight or so - then he really doesn't need bowls in his crate.  Maybe you're talking about traveling though?  You'd do best to just check the different websites anyway because you're more likely to find something online rather than in a store.  There are metal bowls of course, but one that attaches to the crate sounds more like a specialty item.  In addition to the 2 stores you mentioned, there is also one at www.petsolutions.com and then of course Drs. Foster & Smith.  Didn't have time to do the search for you, but anyway you'd have to get on their sites if you went ahead and ordered something.  Generally though, since you only need to feed your dog twice a day, you really shouldn't have to put food in the crate with him unless you're traveling.  Just feed, water and walk him before you crate him.  He should be good to go.  

  3. You'd have better luck.. just browsing through your local pet stores.. seeing what they have there. Because products vary by stores, and province.

    If you can’t find on, you best bet would be online. If your comfortable with shopping online.

    Good-Luck.

  4. dont put him in a cage

  5. There are metal pails that hang on the crate doors that you can buy. I'm sure you can find them at PetSmart or Petco. Good luck!

  6. Dogs have an certain energy level to express depending on their age. It is normal for a dog to chew a lot as a pupy. It is normal for any dog to chew things or bark or whine when he is caged or left alone. Give your dog some space and some rawhide chewies you can buy in pet stores and some grocery stores. Don't give it cause to go stir crazy.

  7. Try a metal bowl.

  8. http://petsmart.com or http://petco.com

    check out their websites. im sure there is something like that.  

  9. Petco sells a bowl and crate attachment -- you can find it near the crates and it's about $12 or so.

    Attaching the bowl won't solve your main issue, though, which is the chewing.  Your dog is either chewing because they might be teething (you didn't specify an age) or they're bored.  Try taking the bowls out of your dog's crate when you leave the house (if you worry about water, you can buy a crate-attachable water bottle at Petco or Petsmart) and leave him something more interesting to satisfy his chewing -- like a Nylabone or a Kong stuffed with peanut butter or treats.
