Crates and carriers are different tools. Wire iCrates are for training and home; hard Spree and Sherpa totes are for cars and cabins. These seven listings cover tiny 18-inch crates through a 42-inch soft XL kennel.
We only used Amazon US listings whose product title we confirmed. Mix is budget, mid, and premium. Check size charts on the card — a medium harness is not a large crate.
