Crate training is a must for any well-adjusted cat or dog. Crates provide a sense of security and comfort for your pet. They’re spaces your pet can retreat to when needed. While hard-sided crates tend to be the standard choice, soft-sided carriers offer greater luxury and appeal to discerning pet owners and their fur babies.

Soft-sided crates offer a unique blend of features and aesthetics that hard-sided counterparts can’t match. They make crate training a more positive experience — for you and your pet. From style to function, let’s explore how soft-sided carriers make an excellent choice for crate training.

Soft-Sided Pet Carriers Create a Calming, Cozy Space

Plush interiors and comfy fabrics come standard on soft-sided carriers. They feel more like a luxury hotel rather than a cage, so your pet can snuggle up and enjoy a space made just for them. 

When crate training, comfort is everything. If your pet feels snug and secure in their crate, they’re more likely to be willing participants. They’ll associate their training with positive experiences. Being safe and relaxed can even speed up the training process.

Soft-Sided Carriers Can Travel with Your Pet

Soft-sided carriers are lightweight and portable, kind of like a pet hotel on wheels. If you’re crate training your pet, your travels don’t have to disrupt their progress. Easily take the crate with you so you can keep making progress. 

Even for short trips (like vet visits or trips to the park), you can use the crate to familiarize your pet with being in a safe, enclosed space. The crate becomes a haven rather than a place of punishment. The more you travel with the crate, the easier it becomes for your pet.

Soft-Sided Carriers Include Practical, Intentional Features

Looks aren’t everything; but they are something. For luxury-loving pet owners, you’ll appreciate the fine details that make a soft-sided pet crate more than just a cage. 

Think additional pockets for training tools and treats, removable washable pillows, and locking zippers to keep your pet secure. Some pet carriers have multiple windows so your pet can get panoramic views. Roll-down window shades will block their view if they’re feeling anxious, giving them a sense of comfort.

They can also be versatile; for example, PetLuv soft-sided carriers can go from pet hotel to pet stroller or pullalong-on-wheels in seconds. They blend the best of aesthetics and functionality into a single design, so your pet can enjoy their crate long after training ends.
