Pet crates allow owners to transport them to doctor's visits, beauty appointments or new housing. For cat owners, pet crates present an ideal bedding area where cats can sleep and cuddle. Cats can benefit from pet crates with a removable top for all-year use indoors. Some designs work well for quarantining fosters or new family additions if a spare bedroom or toilet is not readily available.
Pet crates for travel must mean specific air or sea travel requirements. All airlines and transport companies provide details of these requirements on their websites and ban cardboard or DIY pet crates. For general reference, pet crates for travel should have a rigid plastic, metal or wooden body with adequate ventilation, a single door and a sturdy grab handle.
