By Harvin Gulfill


Often times, dog transfers by air, land or sea necessarily require the use of dog transportation cages. These cages come very handy in giving your dog a safe and secure "temporary home" when travelling them; making them feel protected and cared for by their owners.

These dog transportation cages come in various sizes, shapes and design. Materials may be made of plastics, metal, fiber or wires. Now, these kinds of cages are the most common ones that are commercially sold in the market. Most pet shops and dog stores offer standard design depending on the height, length and width of your dogs and at times, these shops do customized dog transportation cages that are based on the costumers' preference.

Going back on the types of dog transportation cages; what are the differences among the four types? The advantages and the disadvantages? Well, plastic first. Dog transportation cages made of plastic are the most common types that you can find. It is durable, sturdy and hard. Yet, it is bulky and requires a lot of space in your trunk or cargo. For dog transportation cages made of metals, fabrics, and wires they are all very functional for they can be folded or fixed.

One option also is to research about the best kinds of cages that are appropriate for your mode of transport. A lot of dog shops offer free consultation or advices that may help you decide on what to buy. Then you can just look for a standard cage that will fit to your dog.

For these two options, both are good depending on how you do it with your own style. The only difference is that customized dog transportation cages are a bit expensive as compared to the standard ones but whatever you choose, make sure that your dog will be safe and unharmed during the entire course of travel.
