As the title says, I need a dog crate for a small puppy and am not sure where is best to get one. I live in Benalmadena Pueblo so somewhere close by is preferable. Can be metal or fabric. Thanks!

The chinese shop in the pueblo?? Or if you need an air travel approved one, Carrefour do them, or Eroskis in fuengirola??

Hi what size you looking for I have a crate which was for a 17kg dog which we have just used would be happy to sell to you ? If it would be right for you it is completely compliant for airways as we have jus used it

Cheers

Not fussed about airlines as have no plans to fly him anywhere just yet. Its for a pug so he won't be huge when fully grown. How much were you after and whereabouts are you?

Plob

In mijas and maybe 40 euros it's a proper crate ... Let me know

LolaRose

Ok will have a look in the chinese shop tomorrow and then get back to you as our car is currently off the road. Thanks

Plob

Ok no probs

There is a Chinese shop in Benalmadena Pueblo?

I lived there 3 years and never saw it. Where is it? (only out of curiosity)

LolaRose

The Bazar Sur, on Avenida del Chorrillo. Same street as La Taperia and La Coperia. Surprised you haven't come across it! It's a fab aladdin's cave of a place. Still haven't made it in there to check for a crate yet!

...or are you winding me up?!

jojojojojo

I used to love it in there - I'm into cheap tat lol!!!! Its so much bigger than it looks from the outside. I'm sure Cricketman is winding us up!!

Its opposite the barbers (if thats still there???). I dont know the street name!!

No I've never seen it. But then I dont think I've ever been to a Chinese shop.

jojojojojo

You dont know what you're missing . I love them. You can get anything and its all cheap! Ok, so there are no "designer" labels (well not genuine ones!!!) and some things I wouldnt buy or expect to last, but hey, who cares!

my first stop for loads of stuff is usually the chinese bazaar

I popped into one of ours the other day & came out with 3 mats to put on the shower room floors, a couple of pop up laundry baskets, a swimsuit (OK so it will only last me one summer ..... but hey - 11€ , lightbulbs (the same brand as the ferretería across the road but cheaper), nose studs for the dds ( they lose so many what's the point of paying more than 1€ each?) & a few other bits & bobs

paper for the printer is just as good as in the computer shop but cheaper .......I could go on

as you say - there are a lot of things you wouldn't buy - but if you know what you're looking for, they're great

I love the chinese shop, the hairdressers is still opposite. Its Avenida del Churillo. Smallish doorway that opens out to a rather big shop that sells everything you could ever need (and a bit more!) cheap. So handy to have in the village.

He's gotta be winding us up because you simply can't miss it!
