Pet Crate

A pet crate is essential for any pet owner planning to travel with their furry friend. Pet crates provide a safe and comfortable space for your pet during transport. In the pet crate, your pet should have enough space to stand, to sit erect, to lie in a natural position and to turn about normally while standing. It is better to familiarise your pet with a pet crate before travelling to reduce its anxiety during the journey. For more detail, please read advices to your pet in crate.
