One type of crate certainly doesn't fit all. For pet owners, you have to do the kind of research to provide the best for your pup.
Best for Travel: Plastic Crates
Plastic crates are the only type of airline approved crates. Wire crates are collapsible which is a risk factor during air travel.
Best Odor Protection: Wire Crates
Wire crates are more ventilated and easier to clean so odor doesn't get trapped inside the way it does for plastic crates.
Most Comfort: ???
Wire crates can be padded and covered to create a den like space for a pet. Plastic crates can also offer that type of feeling but they are so confined that your pet might feel isolated. Also, plastic crates can offer insulation to protect from cold weather which may have the opposite effect in warmer regions with dogs with heavy coats who may heat up inside the plastic crate.
