Insulated Travel Crate

A double-wall travel crate with a closed-cell foam layer between the shells, which holds interior temperature far better than a single-skin plastic box on a long drive or a cold cargo hold. Ventilation runs on all four sides so airflow does not depend on which way the crate is facing. The steel-rod door latches at two points and the corner hardware takes a screwdriver rather than wing nuts, which is what most airlines actually ask for. The floor is recessed with a drainage channel and a removable absorbent mat. Moulded side handles and a flat top mean it stacks and carries without a second person. Interior sizing follows the stand-up-and-turn-around rule.

Specifications: double-wall HDPE shell with closed-cell foam core, four-sided ventilation, twin-point steel door latch, screw-fixed corner hardware, recessed floor with drainage channel and absorbent mat. Care: wipe interior with mild soap and warm water; the mat is machine washable. Check corner fixings before every journey and keep the door hardware dry to prevent seizing. Sizing: the dog must stand without ducking and turn a full circle. Meets the common airline construction requirements, though carriers set their own final rules – always confirm with yours before travel.
