I travel a lot for work and my dog &#;&#;always has to go with me. I recently decided on one Dog Crate decided and I definitely don't regret this decision. My dog &#;&#;always traveled with me, but I only had a dog guard in the car and unfortunately that wasn't practical. Every time I had to brake, my dog &#;&#;would slide and that's not good for the joints. Now I wanted one Hundetransportbox have that, above all, fits. Unfortunately, it's not a big car and that's why it's all the more important for me to be able to install the dog box correctly. That's why today I'm reporting on my experiences and giving you recommendations on what you should pay attention to when buying.

When does a dog crate make sense?

A dog crate can be used in many different situations. On the one hand, it naturally offers your dog safety when transporting it in the car. Your dog is not thrown back and forth and is also properly secured. Many dogs find it easier to rest in a box in the car than if they stay awake all the time due to lots of external stimuli. This is particularly important on longer car journeys.

But a suitable dog crate is not only worth a lot in the car. If you go on vacation with your dog, you will have his sleeping place with you in the box, which he is used to. Not every dog &#;&#;copes easily with new environments and so he already has his home with him.

Would you like to be active in sports with your dog and later also take part in tournaments? THS, agility or others Dog sports a crate is a great way to give your dog a quiet place to relax despite all the hustle and bustle around him.

But the dog crate also offers many advantages for raising puppies: This is how your dog learns to stay calm and is protected from itself and its environment even when you are not in the room (and your home furnishings too &#;)

A high quality one Dog Crate guarantees safety for dogs and people

If you buy a dog, you need a suitable one to transport your four-legged friend safely Dog box in the car. If your four-legged friend sits unsecured in the passenger seat or back seat, this can be extremely dangerous for the dog and the vehicle occupants in the event of a collision: Your dog will be thrown through the driver's compartment and can hit you or other passengers. But your dog can also be seriously injured - for example by airbags.

A dog should therefore only ever be in a suitable environment Hundetransportbox in the car ride along.

In einer Dog Crate The animal relaxes while driving and cannot be thrown through the vehicle with great force in the event of an accident. Furthermore, the driver can be sure that his dog does not undertake any unwanted actions while driving that could cause an accident.

Dog transport boxes are available for small, medium and large dog breeds. In this section I would like to present some of these statements.

The classic &#; the Hundetransportbox plastic

The classic dog transport boxes are still the ones often used today Plastic dog transport boxes. They are made of shatterproof plastic and have a metal privacy screen. I recommend a model in which the privacy screen and door are made of robust aluminum.

The disadvantage of this variant is that the transport boxes cannot be removed TÜV are checked. However, some manufacturers' products have been tested by IATA and are also accepted by airlines as suitable containers for transporting your four-legged friend.

Foldable dog transport boxes take up little space

Dog owners who only have little space for one Dog Crate If you have one available, I recommend one Dog transport box in the car, which can be folded compactly. This foldable Dog transport box for the car is still a perfect solution if your four-legged friend is transported in a rental car while on vacation with your dog. One foldable dog box for the car usually consists of a metal frame covered with nylon. The larger the dog, the more stable the transport box has to be.

One catch is that such a dog crate does not offer much protection against escape or destruction. That's why it's important that you build the box with your dog in a positive way and that he learns to relax in it.

Metal dog transport cages

These open transport boxes are similar in design to plastic boxes. When not in use, these boxes can be disassembled and stored to save space. I recommend a model with a closed, removable base tray. A soft blanket can be spread out in it so that the dog is comfortable. If necessary, the plastic bowl can be cleaned quickly and easily.

In addition, a closed version with an upward slant is also available. I recommend this to dog owners who attach great importance to their... Hundetransportbox How tailor-made fits in the trunk. The slits on the sides guarantee that the dog can see something and get enough air while driving.

Install the dog box firmly in the car

Dog owners who have their Dog transport box firmly in your car If you want to install one, I recommend a variant that is specifically tailored to your vehicle model, for example Audi A4 dog box or Skoda Octavia dog box. These dog boxes are tailored to the vehicle model and the dog in terms of dimensions and safety. A custom-made one Dog box in the car offers dogs and vehicle occupants maximum protection.

Other models that were designed for specific vehicle types, for example Dog box for the Touran or the Tiguan, can be easily ordered here on Amazon with a click of the mouse. The Dog box for the Tiguan is offered in two different versions for vehicles with and without a raised loading floor. I recommend this to dog lovers who own more than one dog and a VW Touran Dog box especially for Touran. In this spacious Dog Crate Two larger dogs and one small dog can be transported safely. The Dog box for a Skoda Octavia is offered as a single box. A double transport was developed especially for dog owners who drive an Audi A4 Avant Dog box for Audi A4 designed.

Each specific vehicle model box mentioned in this post comes with one Emergency exit for the four-legged friend and equipped with secure latch locks.

Custom-made dog transport boxes for special vehicle models

The dog has to be in his Dog box in the car feel good. Since a dog is just as individual as its owner, the Dog box in the car fit the dog and not the other way around. On this website everyone can find an animal-friendly, vehicle-specific one Dog transport box for the car, in which your beloved dog can be safely transported from A to B. Yes: they exist Dog crate that is foldable.

Such dog transport boxes are popular because of their weight. They are light and flexible. They are also considered extremely practical by pet owners. My dog &#;&#;likes to use my foldable dog crate as a place to sleep. The box can be assembled in no time.

Very good at one Dog Crate for the car, which is foldable, I find that it has several openings. Most solid and rigid Dog transport boxes do not offer exactly that. With this variant, the dog can only enter the box from one side. Anyone who is interested in one Dog crate that is foldable If you want to decide, you should know that there are enormous price differences between the individual models. This is usually justified by the material composition. For example, there are dog boxes with an aluminum frame that can be folded. These are particularly suitable for larger dogs.

What with one folding dog box should be avoided!

Anyone who quickly chooses one foldable dog crate If you have to decide, you shouldn't choose the cheapest one. Neither the dog nor the owner will be able to enjoy this for long. The boxes are not durable and will show defects after a short time.

If you have the opportunity to test a dog transport box that is foldable, you should use it. Tests are always informative and reveal how easy or difficult such a box can be to set up. If the box is easy to assemble and dismantle, then it will be worth purchasing.

What are the advantages of a dog crate that can be folded?

The Dog Crate is lightweight and can be taken anywhere, anytime. Another not insignificant advantage foldable dog crates is that they can be stored quickly and easily. They fit into a small niche and are then not at all disruptive during a vacation or at home.

Disadvantages of foldable dog transport boxes

If you buy a foldable dog transport box too cheaply, you must expect that it will not last long. The boxes are also less suitable for large dogs.

The materials

A Dog box that is foldable, can be made of plastic or fabric with an aluminum frame. The boxes can be purchased starting at a price of around 30 euros. Most of the time they are attached to the trunk using Velcro. They are non-slip and there is a non-slip mat inside.

Many owners turn to blankets to keep their pet warm in the trunk. This is not recommended because a simple blanket can easily slip. The safety of the animal should always come first. There are stable dog boxes that are foldable. If you want to look for this box for your animal, you should stick to the manufacturer's weight information.

Perfect for getting used to

Since these boxes are also suitable for use at home, they are good for basically preparing the animals for transport in the car. Training always starts at home. You should get the animal used to the box carefully and with a lot of patience.

Will the favorite box be used in the car later? It can then be used at home to acclimate the animal. It's always a good idea orthopedic dog bed , a dog mattress or a Hundekissen to put in the box.

Aluminum dog box

A Dog transport box made of aluminum In contrast to a box made of other materials, it is characterized by its high stability and safety. Although the boxes can usually be unscrewed very easily, they are usually designed to be permanently fixed in the car. So that the dog has enough visibility, it makes sense to choose an open box.

A washable base plate is recommended for cleaning. Due to the material04 is one Metal dog box More expensive to purchase than, for example, one Plastic or nylon dog crate, but significantly less susceptible to damage. So that the space in the trunk can be used optimally, it is recommended to have a slightly sloping one Dog Crate to choose aluminum for the car.

Investing in one Dog Crate An aluminum car is an investment in your own safety!

Who is one? Dog Crate If you want to buy something, aluminum is the right choice. In general, metal dog crates offer significantly greater safety for people and animals, especially in the event of serious car accidents. Because of the security in the box, the animals cannot be thrown through the car without braking in the event of an accident.

High-quality aluminum can later be sold on the used market, while a plastic box usually has to be thrown away. That's why the expensive box is often still worth it for large dogs.
In general, the most stable and safest dog crates are rigid in construction. Foldable dog crates are more suitable for use as a retreat for the dog in the house and yard.

Advantages of the Aluminum dog box

Large dogs in particular must be transported securely in the car, otherwise they can fly uncontrollably through the car in the event of an accident or sudden braking, which can cause additional, sometimes very serious, damage. The ideal backup is achieved with one Metal dog box.

A Dog box XXL aluminum is specially adapted to the trunk of a station wagon with a slanted front, so that the space in the trunk can be optimally used. This means that large dogs have the most space possible during transport and can stand, lie down and turn around on their own axis.

Such Dog box XXL made of aluminum It offers the highest level of safety, stability and a high-quality appearance and is also suitable for medium-sized dogs. For smaller dogs, much cheaper and smaller plastic boxes are often sufficient, as otherwise they would have too much running space during a trip.

Disadvantages of the Aluminum dog box

The disadvantage of one Aluminum dog box is clearly evident from the price. Anyone who has a high quality Dog Crate If you want something, you often have to dig deep into your wallet. Furthermore, a lot of space is required in the car.

For a Aluminum dog box You should drive a station wagon so that the trunk offers enough space. An aluminum box is also designed to remain primarily in the car, although it can be quickly removed if the trunk needs to be used for other purposes. The mobility of the boxes is often more limited.

What should you pay attention to when buying?

When purchasing, I recommend paying particular attention to ensuring that the box is open on all sides so that the dog does not have to feel trapped. The floor should also be removable and washable for easier cleaning.

The box should also appear to be stable overall. It's always good advice to put the dog in the crate for a trial period in order to make the right choice.

Fressnapf dog boxes

Pet Bowl is one of the largest and best-known companies in the field of animals and pet accessories worldwide. This company has particularly stood out due to its high quality. Almost every person who owns a pet has a Fressnapf product in some form. This makes the company one of the largest distributors.

Fressnapf has a number of high-quality products on offer, especially in the area of &#;&#;dog ownership, i.e. the care, well-being and transport of dogs. Here we will look at two types of dog boxes that Fressnapf has in its range.

Dog box feeding bowl &#; Flexible for every use

The Dog box from Fressnapf can come in a wide variety of variations and designs. However, the focus here is always on the workmanship and the high quality of the respective material. Of course, certain advantages of each material are also pointed out here.

Because not all products are equally suitable for every use. Nevertheless, overall I can always speak of a very high level of quality, which is very good in the price ranking compared to other products from other companies.

So I can speak of an optimal price/performance ratio when I look at Fressnapf's products compared to the competition. But apart from the good price, the quality remains the focus here. A trademark for these products.

Dog transport box Fressnapf &#; Safety at its best

As with the Dog Crate this is also the case with the Dog transport box from Fressnapf special emphasis is placed on quality. There are a few additional factors that need to be taken into account.

Transport boxes must have additional brackets and locks that can withstand greater loads. This is extremely important if a dangerous situation arises during transport. An example here would be a car accident. Here, the products must meet special standards in order to ensure optimal safety for people and animals. This also fully applies to Fressnapf products.

The safety regulations and guidelines are adhered to very precisely and are completely convincing. Another very positive aspect and a very good showcase for these products.

Conclusion on Fressnapf products

The company is particularly known for the optimal quality and durability of its products. This is once again visible in the products around the world of dogs. The products, be it Dog Crate or transport boxes not only meet the essential standards but go far beyond them.

Clearly, the focus here is on quality but also on safety, which especially applies to the transport boxes. If I take into account the good price range of the product, I can speak of an optimal price/performance ratio. If I were to give this rating as a grade, it would be a 1.

Dog box for home

I simply can't imagine life without my beloved dog anymore. That's why I'm happy to fulfill my little darling's every wish and want my loyal companion to lack for nothing.

But I was wondering whether there is one Dog box for home worth it at all. Of course it is an investment. But money is not primary for me. Rather, I think about the right material and the appropriate size of the box.

A used dog crate I reject it categorically. After all, the dog's sensitive nose should not be confronted with foreign smells. Alternatively, I could make a corresponding box myself. But I'm pressed for time and my technical talent is rather modest.

That's why I always choose a finished model.

The perfect Dog box for home

All material properties are listed in detail and you get a perfect overview of the topic. For me, my dog &#;&#;made the decision. He considers his personal Dog Crate as an apartment and feels safe (almost like in a dog cave). So I am sure that my darling feels comfortable.

Even when traveling, my four-legged friend liked to jump into his box and always stayed calm. It's the same in my apartment. Even voluntary withdrawal is now possible effortlessly. A long adjustment period was not necessary. Of course, only a box of sufficient size is recommended. If the box were too small, I would cramp my dog &#;&#;and he would feel trapped. I would definitely like to avoid this situation.

A worthwhile purchase &#; my dog &#;&#;is thrilled

I see every day that I made the right decision by purchasing a dog crate for my home. I personally benefit from this purchase because I have clearly done something good for my dog. Of course I am aware that this is an individual decision.

If the dog has a natural aversion to the boxes, you should not force the animal. It's best to try out different models and let the dog decide for himself. As a caring dog owner, you quickly learn to interpret the appropriate signals.

Conclusion

The purchase of one Dog box for home can be worthwhile, but does not necessarily have to be. Type, size and quality always depend on individual usage behavior. After a relatively short time, with the help of the dog, you will be able to see the benefits. The financial investment and craftsmanship are of course also crucial for the choice. I speak clearly for one Dog crate at home .

Used dog crates

First of all is with everyone Dog Crate to check the external quality. Special attention should be paid here to whether the condition is still suitable for good and, above all, safe use.

To do this, it is important to inspect the individual hinges and flaps. If these are loose or loose, it is not advisable to purchase them. However, you should also pay attention to the model's own components when it comes to different versions.

Dog box used

With the normal one Dog Crate The quality and the flaps or brackets should be checked. The external appearance should also be visually appealing. In addition, you should of course make sure that the box is the right size. If this is not the case, it is of course not advisable to purchase it.

Used dog transport box

Within the Hundetransportbox Before buying, you should make sure that the box actually closes and that the animal can be kept safely in the box. It is important to check carefully whether the individual fasteners and anchors are actually 100% intact.

Small defects can have a big impact here. For example, if a door does not fit 100% into the locking device provided, this box is no longer secure. If all locks, doors and similar things are in perfect condition, you can definitely consider buying it.

Dog box car used

The Dog box for the car should be checked in a similar way to the transport box. However, it is also important to note whether the box also has good security options. This specifically refers to rails or additional brackets to which the box can be attached in the car.

These additional brackets should also be in very good condition. If this is not the case, we strongly advise against purchasing it. The risk that the box will come loose in the event of danger and act as a projectile is far too high.

Conclusion

If you consider the essential points that are important for you Dog Crate are crucial, you can also buy a used box if it corresponds to the condition. However, every aspect should be carefully examined for each specific model. Safety and security are a priority.

Dog box XXL

A Dog box in XXL format is perfect for big dogs. Nevertheless, it is important to know your own dog exactly. So are Dog transport boxes with the addition XXL usually ideal for dogs weighing up to 50 kg body weight. Such boxes are usually provided with wheels so that they can be moved more easily. Of course, the dog should not be moved in the box.

A Dog transport box XXL is easy to find in the pet store, but can also be ordered online. When ordering from a mail order company, it is important to clarify in advance whether the required rolls are included in the scope of delivery.

The buyer should therefore look carefully to see whether it is mentioned in the offer and, if in doubt, write an to the seller. The Dog Crate should be of high quality and reinforced at the corners. In addition, a robust base is more than practical.

A little help to determine the size of the box!

In order to find the right crate for your dog, it is important to know the dog's body dimensions. If you want, you can use this little calculation to determine:

• The length of the dog applies from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail. In addition, there is half the length of the dog's front legs.
• The width of the dog is determined by measuring shoulder width x 2.
• Lastly, the height of the dog should also be determined. This is achieved by measuring from the paws to the tips of the ears. Then another 5 cm should be added.

Unfortunately it is with one Dog box in XXL format It is not common that standard dimensions are always used. So if you want to make sure that the animal fits well in the box, you should measure it.

However, the manufacturer still provides assistance. It is possible to pay attention to the weight information, which is usually stated on each box. If the weight information is missing, it makes sense to contact the seller directly to check.

This is the only way to find a suitable box for your four-legged friend in which he has enough space. The animal will definitely like being in the box.

Instructions to build your own dog box

There is a possibility Build your own dog box. Such a box is often even more stable than boxes that can be purchased. The self-made dog box is suitable for experienced craftsmen and should be made of wood. OSB boards, for example, are excellent for this Dog Crate &#;Homemade&#; brand.

First of all, here is a short video of how someone built a box themselves:

What should be taken into account!

Before you can start one Build a dog box, you should measure the trunk dimensions. Wheel arches should be left out. It's about the volume of the trunk and therefore the height should also be measured.

What is needed for a good one? Build your own dog transport box?

First you need a film plate for the floor in the dimensions that were previously determined. Then one film plate serves as the back wall and two film plates are used as side walls. 12 square aluminum tubes and 18 round metal rods with a diameter of 1 cm are also required. You also need wood glue, screws, a cordless screwdriver, 2 hinges and a door latch.

Tian Yilong supply professional and honest service.

The Build your own dog transport box

The film plate should be 15 mm thick. Both side parts must be glued to the base plate. Then you have to attach the back wall. This is also fixed with the help of wood glue.

The outside can then be attached with screws. If you drill into the panels beforehand, you will prevent the panel from bursting when screwed on.

Make the door frame

The square tubes should have a thickness of 20 x 20 mm. The pipes are connected to each other at right angles using connectors. Thanks to the connectors you have to Build your own dog box out of wood no drilling or screwing and it holds just as well.

In this way, you can create a rectangular frame within a short time that provides sufficient stability. Now the frame only needs to be inserted onto the outside of the box and then the parts are screwed together.

door and lid

Additional square tubes are needed for the door frame. 9 round rods are placed between these tubes and for this you should drill 10 mm holes in the square tubes. The round rods can be used later without any problems.

The drilling should follow a specific pattern and look neat. First, the square tube must be put together in a U-shape. Connectors are more than useful here too.

The round rods can then be inserted into the holes. Finally, a square tube with connectors is added to the top so that the frame is stable and holds.

Attach the lid and door

The lid is made in the same way as the door and then it can be screwed to the box. The door is then inserted into the door frame and secured using the hinges. Now the latch needs to be attached so that the dog actually stays in the box.

This variant is good to use because you can make excellent use of the volume of your trunk.

What material should the dog crate be made of?

I have asked myself this question quite often. I have a large dog and wanted little money for a new one Dog Crate invest.

But now it's the case that I'm not skilled in craftsmanship and so I'm looking for a finished one Dog Crate had to put. I was considering a used one Dog Crate to buy. But that shouldn't be an option for my animal. It shouldn't be constantly confronted with the smell of a strange animal.

So now I have asked myself the question of all questions regarding dog crates. Which material is best for my animal?

Size is important too!

I was told that it plays a big role how big the dog is that the crate is intended for. So I took a closer look and decided that I needed a large box because my dog &#;&#;is a Labrador by breed.

I have a Plastic dog box took a closer look and was impressed right from the start. I was able to simply put the box itself in my car and the dog jumped in immediately. However, there are many other types of dog crates.

You can have one Fabric dog crate Buy if you have a small animal and it is fully grown. Please remember that small dogs in particular like to gnaw and it is not good if the box is destroyed quickly. The small, sharp teeth bite through the fabric with an ease that I never thought possible.

Then there is another one Wooden dog box. But I ruled them out straight away because my dog &#;&#;likes to bite sticks. So I was a little worried that he would tear splinters and that would be painful. Then I'll just have unnecessary medical costs again that I could save from the start.

The Aluminum dog box is just as high quality as that Plastic dog crate and was an equally good solution for me. Nevertheless, the price played a big role for me.

I am very economical, but I also want to be able to ensure safe transportation for my dog.

Not an easy choice!

The right Dog Crate always depends on the dog's behavior. Whether there is one Plastic dog box, a Fabric dog crate or Wooden dog box everyone has to decide for themselves and their animal. The only important thing is that one Dog Crate is used at all. Anyone who dares can do one Build your own dog box. However, you should pay attention to good materials so that the dog is safe in the box. The plastic box is quite light and can be easily inserted into the car. The animal will also quickly get used to it and that should always be important for the owner.

Trixie dog crates

Since my dog &#;&#;is like a member of the family to me, he shouldn't be missing when I travel. One Trixie dog box allows you to take your four-legged friend with you at any time and at any time.

There are different versions of one Trixie dog transport box. So in addition to the typical aluminum version with a door, I can also do that double door dog crate find. Both variants are described in more detail here so that you as a buyer can find out which box is better for you.

The double door dog crate

This box is made of aluminum and has a divider that can be removed if necessary. This allows one large dog or two small dogs to be transported. The overall construction is stable and perfect for the dog to get in and out comfortably.

Velcro straps are included in delivery. These allow it to be securely set up and secured in the trunk so that the box does not slide back and forth. The Trixie dog box with the double doors is slanted and therefore fits perfectly into the trunk so that the tailgate can be easily opened and closed.

Trixie transport box with a door

Trixie's transport boxes are generally always quiet and this applies to all models. The walls of this transport box are closed high and thus offer a clean place to stand and even more safety for people and animals.

The grid inserts of the transport box are wide, which means there is good ventilation and the dog has a clear view out of the rear window. The door has a safety lock and the box contains a non-slip thermal blanket for the dog.

As a rule, it is the case that the Trixie dog transport boxes do not differ in general equipment. All boxes offer enough space. But it is important to find the right size for your dog. The individual models are lightweight and can be easily transported. They provide a safe place for my dog &#;&#;while traveling.

4pets dog crates

Dog boxes from 4pets are manufactured in Austria and are known for being the first boxes with a TÜV certificate. However, these boxes offer numerous other advantages. There are the 4pets dog transport box in 13 different sizes. To this day it is Dog Crate sold very frequently.

The design and functions of a Dog box from 4pets

A 4pets dog crate usually consists of a sturdy aluminum frame. The durability and high level of quality are a given with these boxes and can be traced back to years of experience. The boxes have been independently tested and offer safe accommodation for dogs of all sizes in their own vehicle.

Durable

The Dog box from the manufacturer 4Pets can be used for years and will not show any major signs of wear. Thus one can 4Pets dog crate can also be bought used.

Test criteria to receive a TÜV seal!

The 4Pets dog crate is a bestseller and has passed all test criteria with flying colors. The fastening in the car was tested or how the box behaves on uneven terrain.

The test plan also included friction connections, sharp edges and corners, pipe ends and pinch points. The screwing techniques and general connection technology were also examined more closely.

The individual boxes

• The ProLine Falcon is available in sizes S and M and is perfect for smaller breeds.
• The ProLine Milan in sizes S, M and L is perfect for medium-sized dogs.
• Medium and larger breeds have enough space in the ProLine Eagle in S, M and L.
• Large dogs such as Bernese Mountain Dogs or Hovawarts should always be transported in a ProLine Condor in S, M or L.

There is also a suitable solution for owners of two dogs. The ProLine Cerberus in sizes M and L has a removable divider and can then be used for a large dog.

High-quality

The lock housing on a Dog box from 4Pets consists of a die-cast aluminum or a finely tuned rotary knob. This can be operated with one hand. There are extra struts on the box itself to ensure durability.

As with any other product, there is also Dog crates a lot of manufacturers on the market with their Dog crates pursue very different strategies.

One of them is the Schmidt company. Dog boxes from Schmidt are without a doubt part of the premium segment of dog boxes. Below I will explain why this statement is certainly justified.

The material

The question of choosing the material arises Schmidt dog box not at all. These are generally made of high-quality anodized aluminum. That's it Dog crates generally more resistant to external mechanical influences.

The surface refinement of the aluminum also guarantees longevity in the form of corrosion protection.

The corners of the Dog Crate are also additionally protected by glass fiber reinforced plastic. To protect the side walls from weather-related damage, they are made of weather-resistant plywood panels.

The handling

However, all of the materials listed have another decisive advantage. They are all extremely light, which is why the total weight is one Dog box from Schmidt is significantly below those of the competition.

In addition to the weight, the shape is also advantageous Dog Crate. Due to the slanted front and back, the box is easy to transport in the car.

Mounting

Assembly is quick and easy thanks to the instructions provided.

And who actually asks the dog?

Last but not least, and for me most importantly, the boxes are designed so that the dog can observe the environment well and therefore quickly feels comfortable in it. And I'm certainly not the only one who feels even more comfortable knowing that their dog does the same.

Trunk or back seat?

The question of the optimal place for one Dog box in the car, can only be answered if I compare both positions directly. However, I have to say up front that both positions have their certain advantages and disadvantages.

Dog box trunk

The Dog box in the trunk In principle, placing is a good thing. However, I must note that the security options are only available to a limited extent. It is therefore necessary to attach additional straps so that in an emergency Dog Crate not be thrown by the car.

In addition, I can't always see exactly how the animal is doing in the back of the car. In the eyes of many dog &#;&#;owners, this is a big negative. The positioning still makes sense. Because there is a flat surface in the trunk on which the box can be placed wonderfully and has a firm hold.

Dog box back seat

The Dog box in the back seat Many people like to place it much better than in the trunk. This way you have a good view of the animal and can optimally assess the animal's condition.

Because not all animals like driving. Of course, there are also seat belt options in the back seat. The normal seat belt can simply be used for this. So nothing additional needs to be added.

The disadvantage here, however, is that the seat can wobble or slip due to the soft surface. This is rather bad for the animal's sensitivity. Therefore I cannot consider this position to be better compared to the position in the trunk.

Conclusion/result

As I was able to show from the comparison, both positions have some clear advantages as well as very clear disadvantages. However, if I look at all the factors as a whole, I can say that placement in the trunk is probably better for the animal. Here the animal feels protected due to the environment and the box cannot slip.

The disadvantage here, however, is that I need additional securing means to secure the box optimally. Nevertheless, I can consider this position to be the better one. Although the back seat is still an alternative, it should not be preferred over the trunk for the sake of the animal.

Dog crates for large dogs

Finding the right box for my large dog wasn't difficult because I measured my dog &#;&#;thoroughly beforehand. It was important to me that my dog &#;&#;felt comfortable Dog Crate feels comfortable.

Important for buying one Dog Crate The main thing about the size was that the dog could stand upright in it. However, he must also be able to lie comfortably in it and should be able to turn around if necessary.
