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.
