I’m currently searching for the right dog carrier (x 2) for the pooches, wanting something that is crash tested and ‘my dogs’ proof :)

They are small dogs, one being a bit bigger than the other. Small pooch will bite mesh - she did as a puppy anyway, both love digging and Big pooch likes her own space etc etc..

I found sleepypod which I think will be fine for the Small one (but I think the mesh will be a challenge), but Big one will end up in a different type of carrier which I don’t think will be great for lying down during journeys- however both pooches will be safe as the crash test results look good. I was going to size test by just buying one first.

I now see Porsche have a pet carrier, whooping £520 per carrier - which is £300 or so more than the others. However, the size looks good, there is no mesh but the bars may be a bit big for the Small one. Porsche didn’t say whether they were crash tested, so I went on google, as you do.

I found the exact same dog carrier as Porsche without the branding, about £260 all in with isofixes (per crate) and details of the crash test but no videos available.

Do you think Porsche have not said it’s crash tested because they don’t trust the test?

I have two carriers already for flying, however when I saw the crash test video for those, it was just horrific results, so cannot use them. I won’t be putting them in the boot.

I have found another one with smaller bars and is lighter than the ‘Porsche’ one and has been crashed tested too. However no isofixes and a bit dearer.

Has anyone tried sleepypod or bought good crash tested crates, they’d recommend? All of these things are so expensive on top of all the basics to be organised such as Disklok , dashcam etc etc..
