A cage should be purchased according to the type of use you intend for your pet. There are dozens of different types of cages, but it won't be difficult to find the right one if you take our advice into account.
There are two main types of pet cages, namely metal confinement cages and plastic transport cages. We will describe them in detail so that you can familiarise yourself with the rationale for each. Designed for two different activities with the same purpose: to protect our best friends!
Confinement cage. The most economical version of a cage. They represent the typical metal barred box with a simple front door that closes with a simple pin. Their main function is to become a mini-prison for our beloved criminals when we want to protect them from harming themselves during an anticipated period of non-supervision.
They are as good for outdoors as they are indoors. Their thin bars make them very well ventilated. They are a good choice for those who wish to keep them indoors, as they tend to have a long service life and low maintenance. They are prohibited for use on aircraft by international air transport regulations.
Transport Cage. These are the ones we see at the airport when pet owners travel with their best friends. They are usually made of plastic, and have a door that can be locked. They are intended to protect the pet from objects that could fall into the crate and harm them.
Experts at the American Veterinary Medical Association recommend that the crate have openings on the front and back so that ventilation is not interrupted and the pet stays cool, can stand up on all fours and turn around in all directions, and lie down fully. It is also the safest way to travel by car.
