  • Why buy a dog carrier?

    The dog carrier or crate is first and foremost a safety device for moving your pet by car. During these journeys, the dog does not have the possibility of being attached by a seat belt as can be the other occupants of the car (adults and children). In the event of a collision, impact, emergency braking or more or less violent accident, your pet could be thrown outside the vehicle with dramatic consequences, for your dog, but also possibly for other passengers. Buying a dog carrier in a car therefore guarantees the safety of all travelers until they arrive at their destination.Note that car travel is not the only use of the dog carrier or crate. Depending on your habits and lifestyle, for example, you could use your dog's carrier as a sleeping solution at home. The dog cage or transport box is then presented as an alternative to the dog basket or cushion. Contrary to what one might think, the animal can indeed feel comfortable, and safe, in a transport cage rather than on a mat or cushion. When you decide to go on a weekend or vacation with your four-legged friend, the dog carrier or crate can also act as both a transport crate and a sleeping solution at the place of residence.

    Dog transport crate: what does the law say?

    The law, through the Highway Code, does not specifically state that it is mandatory to equip yourself with a crate or transport cage to take your dog by car. On the other hand, article R412-1 provides that "any driver or passenger of a motor vehicle must wear an approved seat belt". Your dog is considered a passenger and must, in this sense, be tied up in the car. Beyond the crate or transport cage, there are other solutions for securing your dog in the car. This is the case, for example, with safety harnesses. The separation grid (or the net) to be placed behind the front seats at the level of the trunk also appears as an equipment often essential for transporting your dog in the car. It allows, in particular, toprevent your dog from roaming freely in the cabin and disturbing the driver. Such a device, such as the dog crate or carrier, can also prove to be very useful in the event of an accident and the intervention of the emergency services. The presence of an unattached dog in the cabin can indeed complicate the intervention of firefighters, emergency ambulance professionals, etc.

    What is the most suitable material for a dog carrier?

    Made of plastic, metal, aluminum or even wicker, the dog carrier can be made from several materials. Each of these materials has advantages and disadvantages. For example, an aluminum dog carrier is strong and light, but significantly more expensive to buy than a cheap plastic dog carrier. Quite heavy and restrictive to move, the metal dog carrier is the model that guarantees the best strength. If it may be aesthetically more pleasant to take in the car, the wicker dog carrier or carrier should finally be reserved for small breeds of dog, and with a rather calm temperament. Often small, she would not resist the assaults of a boisterous dog.

    What size of dog carrier to choose?

    The size of the dog carrier must obviously be adapted to the size of your loyal companion. It should not be too small or too large. It's about finding the right balance between your dog's comfort and safety. Most often, it is advisable to choose a dog carrier in which your pet can easily lie down (or remain seated for short trips). As a general rule, it is therefore recommended to take a dog carrier or crate with dimensions that exceed the height and length of your dog by 15 cm. If in doubt before purchasing a dog carrier, take the time to measure your pet. Note that a dog's length is measured from the end of its muzzle to the base of its tail.Also be careful to take into account the dimensions of your safe.

    Planning a plane vacation with your dog?

    In the context of air transport, there are strict standards to be observed when purchasing a dog transport crate.

    The IATA (International Air Transport Association) indeed defines safety standards that apply to dog transport cages when man's best friend is invited to fly.

    These standards relate to the solidity of the transport box, its dimensions in relation to the dimensions of your animal or the type of closure.

    Before taking the plane with your dog, therefore, remember to check that the chosen cage or transport crate complies with IATA standards.
