Advice on Pet pen/carrier
We're going to be doing a lot of moving about soon in our PVC and we're researching the best way to ensure that our pet lurcher is safe. She's a rescue, and I think she'll be ok in the van, but we're looking to make sure by keeping her in a carrier or pen whilst moving.
The van we're getting has a 'dinette' layout behind the passenger seat and we can lower the table to the same height as the bench seat (it's one of those layouts that can be used as a bed).
HOWEVER - the dog hates being in confined spaces, so I'm looking for an open top system that can be folded flat when we're parked up (or conceivably, used outside the vehicle as a familiar bed area for the dog). It also needs to be strong enough to 'catch' the dog in the event of an emergency stop, and (preferably) have an open end so that she can get in easily.
What pens/carriers do people use or recommend (negative reviews also very welcome! ).
Unfortunately we haven't taken ownership of the van as yet, so I don't know the exact dimensions of the space.
