What's the difference between a kennel and a dog crate?

Corinne

I learned from the dictionary that a crate is a wicker basket, then what is a dog crate? Isn't it the same as a dog house?

Answer
In the UK (or at least my part of it), a kennel is made of wood or plastic and is usually an outside shelter. I think the US terminology is 'doghouse'. It can also be a structure of individual outdoor runs and shelters for many dogs. A crate would generally be perceived as a travel-cage for transporting a dog when outside the house; crate-training whereby a metal or plastic cage or crate is used for indoor housetraining is fairly novel here.

Essentially, the words are interchangeable.

How to make a dog crate cover (UK)?

Margaret

I want to make a cover for my dog's crate but have no idea how to go about it!

In centimetres it's roughly 55 (w) x 79 (l) x 63 (h) - The crate has a label on the front that says Rosewood Pet Products #078173

I'm not very experienced with sewing so have no idea how to choose which material, how to work out how much material I'll need, and how to make a pattern for it etc etc. Ideally I want a material that doesn't fray too much.

Can you help me by guiding me through this step-by-step OR can you suggest somewhere I can buy one this size?

Please help!

Thank you :)

Is it possible to take my dogs on the same flight as me?

Wokki

Even if I pay for 2 extra plane seats and kept them in crates the whole time could they stay with me?
They are both whippets so not too big.
I dont feel good about them being in cargo unattended to on a flight from the UK to AUSTRALIA! :/

Is there any way my dogs can be shipped to Oz with me at the same time?

Answer
The only way to get your pets over to Australia is to have them go through quarantine.

This is so they can just make sure it isn't carrying any diseases into the country. Even though you know they don't it's just a procedure they go through! Australia is one of the more stricter countries on what is being brought in - probably one of the strictest. I think they may have to be microchipped too.

Sometimes they don't have to go through quarantine if you have the right paperwork though =]

If you ring UK customs i'm sure they will tell you more than any of us know on here.
