Product catalog summary
Introduction
Mason Company, with over 120 years of experience, is renowned for designing high-quality animal enclosures. They offer a wide range of customizable products, including patented features, to meet specific client needs. Their services include free design advice, price quotations, and layout drawings.

Background
The Crate Escape, a dog daycare and boarding facility in Wallingford, CT, was founded by Chris Ragozzino in 2006. Initially, the facility faced challenges due to the lack of plumbing and the need for a more durable kennel solution.

Challenge
Chris Ragozzino aimed to create a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs but faced issues with the initial AKC crates, which were difficult to clean and prone to rust. She sought a more permanent solution that would accommodate the facility's lack of in-floor drains.

Solution
Chris chose Mason Company's Ultrabase kennels, which are highly rated for their above-floor solutions. These kennels feature anti-slip floors and adjustable legs, making them suitable for uneven surfaces without drains. The Ultrabase's design prevents leaks and cross-contamination, offering individual drains for each kennel.

In 2010, The Crate Escape expanded to a larger facility, allowing for individual floor drains and additional Ultrabase units. The new setup includes private runs with orthopedic cots and fresh water, enhancing comfort and cleanliness.

For smaller dogs, The Crate Escape uses Quiet Cottage fiberglass cages, which are warm and inviting. Chris expanded her capacity by doubling the number of these cages.

Results
The Crate Escape now accommodates 100 to 120 dogs, thanks to the efficient design and layout provided by Mason Company. The Ultrabase kennels are easy to clean, preventing odors and leaks. The facility has not experienced any issues with the Ultrabase system, and the design prevents cross-contamination.

Chris praises Mason Company's customer service, noting their responsiveness and willingness to assist with any issues. She highly recommends Mason Company for their reliable products and exceptional service.
