A cheaper more portable version of the plastic, wire and metal crates is the soft sided dog crate.

All sides of soft sided crates are constructed from breathable fabric material and most are ventilated with nylon netting around the sides. Due to the light-weight construction of the soft sided dog crates they are cheaper to purchase and easier to carry around, usually only requiring you to insert small poles to hold them up, some models simply require you to remove them from their bag and they pop up.

Some variations of the soft sided dog crate have handles and allow you to easil transport your beloved pet while moving or driving. These are generally only recommended for smaller sized dogs however.

Features:

• Strong, easily washable coated nylon mesh fabric
• All fabric is water resistant
• Fabric is breathable and lightly colored to keep your pet cool
• Reinforced corners and connection points
• Durable, zippered door
• Most models allow padlock usage
• Quick and easy to set-up and knockdown

Advantages of Soft Sided Dog Crates

Soft sided crates are easily transported and easy to assemble, allow you to transport your pet with ease, remain cool for your pet so they remain comfortable, washable and water proof.

When not to use a Soft Sided Dog Crate

Soft sided dog crates are a versatile product that you can use in most situations, there are however some times when they are not suitable for your needs.

If you have a larger dog that you need to transport soft sided crates can be too flexible and bend under their weight damaging the frame. In this case we would suggest using either a wire dog crate or a plastic dog crate suitable for air travel.

When traveling by air or train we suggest using a plastic dog crate or a metal dog crate. The sides of soft dog crates dont offer protection from impact and sharp objects can penetrate the material.
