Another important feature is to look at ventilation. If there is not at least three sides open for air to circulate, then this would be a bad choice in a containment device. If your mode of travel happens to be an automobile there are several options for you to choose from. First you must determine the space that is available in your vehicle. If you have a larger cargo area available the best bet for containing your pet is a crate.
Crates come in many sizes and shapes .
The proper crate for vehicle travel would be the hard plastic or metal style crate. These crates offer more ventilation and afford the animal the best view. When choosing the crate make sure that it fits securly into the cargo area of your vehicle and also allows plenty of space on three sides for ventilation. Offer a blanket, pillow, or familiar toy to the crated animal for a feeling of security as you travel. Most of these type crates come with a water dish secured to the side, so make sure your pet has water for the road.
