As their name suggests, dog crates and carriers are designed to optimize the comfort and safety of the animal during transport. Whether or not they are approved for air travel, these accessories are available in various sizes to fit all breeds.
Some essential information to know about dog crates includes:
- they are comparable to cat transport accessories;
- they include a roof, plastic walls, a wire door, and a tray;
- some models have an additional opening on the top;
- they are suitable for small dogs (under 11 kg).
Dog carriers also have features to note:
- they consist of metal mesh walls and a plastic tray;
- their dimensions are designed so that the dog can move or sit comfortably;
- they are delivered in kits to be assembled using an instruction manual provided by the manufacturer;
- they are suitable for medium-sized and larger breeds.
Dog crates and carriers are categorized based on their dimensions and the breeds they suit:
- T0 models are suited for small dogs like Yorkshires or Toy Poodles;
- T1 models can accommodate a Beagle or a Cocker Spaniel;
- T2 models are intended for Malinois, Bulldogs, or Shar Peis;
- T3 models are suitable for German Shepherds and Boxers;
- T4 models can accommodate a Beauceron, a German Shepherd, or a Rottweiler;
- T5 models are the largest and are suited for large dogs such as the Great Dane or the Saint Bernard.
Some tips can be useful for comfortable and safe transport:
- IATA approved models are required for air transport;
- the transport material must have trays for food and water;
- it is recommended to check the closures thoroughly before departure to prevent the dog from getting out;
- adding a pad or blanket improves the animal's comfort throughout the journey;
- placing a toy inside the cage allows the dog to entertain itself en route.
Thus, the choice between a dog crate or carrier depends on the size of the animal and the mode of transport used. Transport bags are also available for small dogs. They are suitable for both short trips and long journeys by car or plane (in the cabin if their weight is less than 7 kg).
