Travel crates are just a necessity of life if you want to get your furry best friend on the road with you. But the usual plastic ones are quite bulky, and where do you store them when you're not on the road? The SportPet Designs Pop-Up Pet Kennel for Dogs is the proper answer. It has a sturdy metal locking gate, with a durable turn-dial latching system to stay in place. But unlike rigid plastic travel crates, it folds down compactly thanks to a collapsible design. To pop it open, all you must do is twist it, no complicated assembly is required. When closed, it's slim and compact enough to store on a closet shelf in your home. Made of durable polyester fabric, with mesh vents on the sides so your pet has fresh air and a clear view of his surroundings. Please note, that while it's durable and stays securely shut, it is for temporary use and intended for kennel-trained pets only. But even so, you'd be hard-pressed to find a crate that's as cozy for your loyal pooch and convenient for you!
