The Fold-Flat Dog Kennel That Goes Wherever You Go

A hard plastic or wire crate is excellent at home and thoroughly inconvenient anywhere else. It is heavy, it is rigid, it takes over the boot of the car, and it has to be stored somewhere the rest of the year. The Portable & Foldable Pet Car Dog Cage Kennel solves the travel problem by giving your dog a familiar den that collapses into a carry bag when it is not needed.

Folds down, sets up fast

The foldable structure collapses flat for storage and transport, and a carry bag keeps it tidy in the boot, a cupboard or under a bed. When you arrive, it opens back into a usable den in a couple of minutes.

That matters more than the specification suggests. The crate you actually bring with you is worth far more than the better crate sitting at home because it would not fit in the car.

Breathable polyester

The kennel is made from premium polyester, chosen to be durable while still allowing air to move through it. It is designed for use across all seasons, from summer camping to a quiet winter evening indoors.

Airflow is the point here. A dog resting in a zipped fabric enclosure on a warm day needs ventilation far more than insulation.

Sizes for most dogs

The kennel comes in S, M, L and XL, with a weight capacity of up to 50 kg. Measure your dog’s length and standing height and choose a size that lets them stand, turn around and lie out fully.

If your dog is between sizes, go up. The store also offers to help with sizing before you pay, which is worth taking advantage of rather than guessing from a chart.

Easy to keep clean

Muddy paws, wet fur and the occasional travel accident are part of the deal. The fabric cover is removable and washable, so the kennel starts each trip fresh rather than accumulating the history of every previous one.

After a wet walk, drying your dog properly also prevents that damp-dog smell settling into the fabric, and our guide to blow-drying your dog at home explains how.

Indoors and out

Use it in the car, at a campsite, in a hotel room, at a relative’s house over the holidays, or as a second den at home. The grey-blue finish looks tidy wherever you set it up, which matters when you are a guest in someone else’s living room.

Who it is for

This kennel suits road-trippers, campers, people who show their dogs, and anyone who regularly visits family with a dog in tow. It also works well in small homes where a permanent crate takes up space you cannot spare, though for a full-time indoor den a furniture-style crate that doubles as a table is usually the better choice.

A note on what it is and is not

This is a soft-sided travel kennel, not a crash-tested restraint, and it should not be treated as one. Use a proper harness or a secured barrier while the car is moving, and use the kennel at rest stops, at the campsite and at your destination.

Determined chewers and committed escape artists also need supervision in any fabric enclosure.
