So you're one of these dog owners which will take the dog everywhere . Us too. It is a lot easier when you have a portable dog crate available. Perhaps even one for the vehicle for everyday trips and another smaller one for plane trips. Here are several tips for picking the right portable crate for your dog.
For the Vehicle:
Dogs are in just as much danger as humans are when riding in the car. Today our dogs are a part of our family, so we ought to treat them as we might treat our kids in the vehicle. Buckle up! There are special harnesses especially made so that you can buckle your dog in. Mine is a little too hyper for it and she tends to get it all tangled up in no time. The alternative would be to obtain a portable dog crate that fits in your car. For those who have a small dog, there are plenty of choices for your back seat.
If you have a big dog, you can still get a portable dog crate, it might just need to go in the "way back" where your dog probably typically sits anyhow. There are numerous alternatives from soft sided carriers to the traditional metal kind. I find the soft sided crates fit easier and are much less noisy, not so much squeaking and rattling. In any case your dog will be safer in the event of an accident if they're not left to fly across the car. Plus, you can place padding and favorite toy in there to make the vehicle ride more comfortable and fun for them.
For the Airplane:
We see more and more dogs each time we go to the airport terminal. We're all travelling with our little friends nowadays. As a general rule, they can travel with you as long as they are under 20lbs (including crate) and can easily fit under the seat in front of you. I will state, the seat in front of you does not have a huge spot for your dog. It's pretty tight regardless of what size crate you get. My number one suggestion is to obtain one which has a flexible top which can be squished down if necessary. If your whole crate is solid, make sure you check with the airline web site to see if it will fit under the seat.
Your dog needs to have the ability to easily turn around within the portable dog crate and be comfortable to lay in there throughout the trip. It really does not take a lot of extra space for them to have the ability to turn around, it's less than you think. Make certain there is sufficient padding on the bottom of the crate and make sure the bottom is waterproof, just in case.
