Giant breed dog travel crates: Plastic or wire?!? HELP!!!?

st_bernard

Hi! We just got a new minivan to go with our new St. Bernard puppy, and I'm going absolutely NUTS trying to figure out the *BEST* way to keep her safe on the road. Can I please hear from some folks who are owned by giant breed dogs about what you chose to use and why? I've made up my mind that it's either going to be a wire crate or a plastic kennel (as opposed to a barrier, harness, or (horror) nothing), but I'm not sure which one to go with. There seem to be really good reasons to use, and NOT to use, each one. Argh!!! Please help.

Also, if anyone can send me a link that shows where it's possible to get one of those really sturdy wire crates (not the flimsy folding kind--we have an iCrate for her to sleep in, but I'm not about to put one of those in the car), that'd be wonderful, 'cause I can't find 'em. Last, is there some way to "tie a crate down" in the back of a van?

Thanks so much!

Answer
Well from personal experiences, I have mine in a pet taxi's that they use to fly with them on air planes, and I went to walmart one time and bought the wire cage for them, and let me tell you its so open that my dogs didn't feel secure in them and would refuse to sleep in them at bedtime..
SO it may cost a lil more possibly but I think it would be the better of the two choices, plus the wire cage that I had gotten made these weird sounds when ever they'd move in them, it was rather annoying..
I do believe the other pet taxi is the best choice, I wouldn't switch mine, it'd be a waste of my money you know what I mean??? GOOD LUCK and hope this helps with your questions!!

Where to get a GIANT Air Approved Plastic Travel Crate?

Mooms K

We've been looking everywhere online for a GIANT Air Approved Plastic Travel Crate. It needs to be at least 42" HIGH. Also referred to as 700 Series. We can find Wire Crates, but we can't use those, it needs to be plastic. I don't need answers like " Check Google " Because we have. Has anyone ever found one, or do they know a site to get one at?
