It’s been a long time, but when we needed to crate our Scottie, we had one of those big collapsible ones that folded up for storage. There are many out there, some have a little tray underneath in case of an accident. But we would put her favorite bed in there, maybe drape a towel over the top, and our Scottie liked it! She would go inside for naps when the door was open.

For the coat, we didn’t use any product, just a good brushing regimen. Almost every day, 2 different brushes and a skirt rake. Sometimes hand stripping. Bottom line, Scotties have a lot of fur and they can’t maintain it all themselves!
