Wire crates collapse flat for easy transport, while plastic and heavy-duty crates need to travel whole. Either way, cleaning it before the move and having it ready to reassemble first at the new place keeps your dog's safe space consistent.
Pro tip: Set the crate up in the new home before anything else so your dog has a familiar retreat while movers are carrying boxes in and out.
Watch out: A wire crate folded without securing the latch can spring open unexpectedly during the move and pinch fingers or damage nearby items.
