pet crate

Portable animal enclosure

A pet crate is a portable enclosure for transporting or containing animals, typically dogs or cats.

Made of wire, plastic, or fabric, crates serve as carriers for travel, tools for housetraining, or secure spaces where pets can rest.

Many owners leave crate doors open so pets can retreat there voluntarily: The dog sleeps in her crate at night.
