Why You Need a Pet Carrier or Standalone Crate? Since you will be leaving pet behind to relax all by his lonesome, you will want to make sure that he is confined in a safe and comfortable atmosphere. Some pets can gain separation anxiety, especially when in a completely new type of territory with limited familiar things to keep them calm. Your pup will surely enjoy the alone time if the season offers a nice temperature place your pet and his crate or carrier on the back deck in the shade. He will be given fresh air, a view to look at, birds to listen to, and will hear your car pull back in the driveway. Also, if your pet nervously puddles, you will have an easy, no-fuss cleanup this way. Let your pup enjoy the cabin's relaxing outdoor pet amenities in your absence.
