Travel Crate for large Great Dane needed

[Tamara]

I am looking for a giant travel crate. Marley, my adult great dane, is 48 inches long and 45 inches tall. So far all the giant crates/kennels are still too small for him. I contacted a pet relocation service company and they wanted $1200 for a custom crate!!

Any ideas, suggestions? I am looking to spend $300-500. I am located in Texas, USA.

Hello,

Your best bet would be to make a crate yourself. Any pet relocation service is going to up-charge you for a custom crate. Here's a great DIY on making an IATA compliant pet crate:
