Choosing Your Portable Dog Kennel
If you are going to be traveling with your dog, a portable dog kennel is essential! It is very difficult to travel with a big bulky cage and you don't want your pet to be uncomfortable during a long car ride. Portable dog kennels are great products for owners and their pets on the go. There are a couple of things that owners need to know about portable dog kennels before they purchase one.
Size Of The Dog
If you have a puppy or a small dog, you will want to get a smaller kennel. If you have a big dog, the kennel should not be huge but it should be big enough that your dog can stand up, turn around, walk a little and lay down without any problems.
Type Of Material Used On A Portable Dog Kennel
Portable dog kennels come in a few different materials such as wire, nylon or plastic. Some of the more elaborate and expensive portable dog kennels use bamboo or panels built onto a wire. The material of your portable dog kennel needs to be based on your pet's personality. You don't want them to be able to rip through it or break their teeth on it. Take some time to shop around before you spend money on a kennel. Look and style have nothing to do with quality of the kennel so don't be fooled by one that looks cool.
What's The Primary Use Of It?
Will your portable dog kennel be inside the house or will you be moving it around a lot. If it's going to be used only in the house then you can get a large and sturdy wire kennel. On the other hand, if you're going to be moving around a lot then you're probably better off with a portable nylon kennel. This is because you can fold a nylon kennel flat so it is out of the way when it's not use and just spring it back up when you want to use it again. There are wire kennels that can fold and transport pretty easily but nylon is the best one.
Budget
You need to know your budget for this kennel. They are not made the same way and some are more expensive than others. Nylon ones are generally less expensive and should be used if you're training your pet. Wire kennels are slightly more expensive than nylon but they're still reasonably priced. Plastic kennels are the most expensive.
Why Use A Portable Dog Kennel?
Portable dog kennels combine the features of a temporary dog kennel and permanent pet shelter in a way that you can carry. Portable dog kennels are less expensive and they are easy to move around or put in storage. Shop around before you pick one to make sure that you get your money's worth.
