Every corner is reinforced against shocks and impacts and is also designed in such a way as to make the crate stackable for extra convenience and transportability.

Ventilation comes from a generous helping of holes in all four sides to promote extra airflow and comfort for the dog. The design also allows for a little extra height in order to create more headroom for your pet. A heavy duty marine grade “slam latch” keeps the dog safe and secure with the minimum of fuss, as it removes the need for you to lock the door behind your dog.
