I use N2N dog crates for my two Standard Poodles. They are heavy duty - my dogs do not destroy their crates; but, my constantly stacking and unstacking these crates in and out of the back of my car causes some minimal wear. You can also buy a replacement cover from the manufacturer.
I also have a crate like this one. I think mine is the one that is described as discontinued in the description. It’s flimsier; but, I like how it folds up. For some reason, my female does not like it. My goofy larger male dog, however, is happy to squeeze himself into it – go figure.
Here is my female next to the largest N2N crate that I have. I also have the next size smaller and can fit both dogs in the larger one if Trial space is tight.
Here are the details to consider when choosing a travel crate:
Size. It should be big enough for your dog to sit, stand, and turn around in, but small enough to keep them secure. Generally, travel crates should be no more than six inches longer than your dog.
Style. Soft-sided travel crates are great for airplane carry-on. Heavy-duty plastic or luggage-grade nylon crates are best for cars.
Safety. However you plan to travel with your dog, their crate should securely enclose them and protect them from potential accidents.
Situation. Some crates are better for air travel, while others are appropriate for car travel. That’s why we’ve separated out our recommendations below.
Try Sleepypod Air In-Cabin Pet Carrier it's what I'm using and it can also be expanded once the plane takes flight.
