Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a travel dog crate that had a divider built in for two dogs. My girlfriend has a dog, and I am getting a dog, both English bulldogs, so they are not very big. We travel a lot, and we always bring her dog with us. Since I have a sedan, not an SUV, I have limited space for two dog crates, and was wondering if anyone knew of a dog crate made for travel that had a seperated in it for two dogs (and two doors). Let me know.
Thanks,

You can get crates like this one (http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4056280&lmdn=Crate+Style) which include dividers.
You want to be sure both dogs are fine with each other before placing them both in 1 crate, with just a divider between them. Likewise, please spay/neuter the dogs, especially if one is female, the other male! If both are intact, and the female goes into heat, a crate divider may not be an effective barrier.

I used a crate like this to house break my Cavalier when she was a puppy. You start off giving your dog a small space and expand it as the puppy grows. The process to to prevent accidents in the house as dogs don't do their business where they sleep. I have traveled with the same folding crate to B&B's and hotels that allow dogs but want they crated when you leave them in the room. This crate also folds easily for storage in the closet or the trunk of the car.
I have never tried using this crate in the car but have a dog booster seat (Snoozer Lookout brand) which attaches to a harness so my 11 pound girl can either look out the window or sleep at her leisure. They also make a double dog seat called "The Perch" which may be a better solution for your two bulldogs as you are driving in a car and not a SUV.

If you decide to buy this make sure to buy a second strap that connects to the dog's harness as only one comes with the seat.
