Animal Transport Crates
Animal Transport Crates are specialized containers designed for safely moving animals between locations. These are essential tools in zoos, wildlife sanctuaries, and veterinary settings. Similar to how a car seat keeps a child safe during travel, these crates ensure animals remain secure and comfortable during transportation. They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different species, from small mammals to large predators. You might also see these referred to as animal shipping crates, wildlife transport containers, or animal carriers.
