If you plan to travel with your dog in the car often, consider buying a Sleepypod Clickit Sport or Terrain restraint harness or upgrading to a Gunner Kennel, both of which are CPS Certified. A failing crate not only imperils your pet but also could release the pet as a projectile, potentially injuring you, as well. Those tests (and earlier 2013 tests) also confirmed that almost no crate under $150 will pass a crash test, and some will make a crash worse for a dog. Even the strongest wire crates fared extremely poorly in the 2015 Center for Pet Safety/Subaru crash tests of travel crates. Every book we read and every expert we talked to reinforced this advice, sometimes without our asking. For one thing, you should never put your dog in a wire crate in the car.

The crate’s narrow windows also restrict the view, which might be a concern if you’ve got a particularly curious pup-or one with FOMO.Īn important note: We did not test for car safety. But if you’re using this crate at home, in a crowded room it may be harder to find a spot for it where your dog gets a good view. That leaves fewer ways for your pup to escape. The Ultra Vari’s secure design features only one door, rather than two on adjacent sides like on our other picks. (This model is not specifically designed for in-car use, though, so consider a restraint harness instead). This crate is easy to assemble and simple to latch shut, and it has proper tie-downs for safer airline travel in a plane’s belly. Petmate’s Ultra Vari Kennel is the go-to among the dog trainers we interviewed, and it’s the best travel-friendly pick for most dogs. If you need a crate that you can use to occasionally fly with a dog, or you want something that a tenacious dog is less likely to escape from at home, a solid plastic crate (sometimes called a “sky kennel”) is a good bet.
