when you say transport,
are you going to transport by your vehicle ?
will it be in the Ram bed ?
Open bed or with a cap/shell ?

It may be cheaper to buy a truck cap & a Bedrug in the long run

Hello Huntergreen,

This is quite a common item (Kennel with Insulating Blanket) for Bird Hunters such as myself. I am assuming that you are wanting a kennel to transport your dog in and it will be located in the back of your truck. I am also assuming you have no canopy on the back. I have purchased many items from a US company called Gun Dog Supply and they carry these items. Here is a link to their website: http://www.gundogsupply.com/dog-boxes.html

Hope this helps!

 

tks, they are exactly what i am looking for. will be in the open bed. how do you secure these in the bed.

 

don't you have 4 loops in the bottom sides of the bed?
one tie down strap going from the front 2 ought to do the job

use something like these

i read that a lot of dog owners use a carabiner to make sure the cage doors do not open

 

of course i have the 4 tie downs, was looking for a more sure way, screws bolts ect... tks gt

 

I used bolts to secure a tool box in the bed of my son's truck. It was just a matter of crawling under the truck to insure nothing was in the way and we drilled two bolt holes in the bed of the truck and put a piece of flat stock in the box and a small piece under the box and bolted them together. I sprayed paint before inserting the bolts and siliconed the bolts as well. His truck will rot away before the box will come out though.

 

Try Ray Allen. Lots of high quality options. I've purchased from them before.

I just went through the process you are going through to figure out what to do. I ended up getting kennels at my local sporting goods store. I use the Mud River Dog kennel covers. http://www.mudriverdogproducts.com/
The dogs are warm and have adjusted to riding in them. I also have linex sprayed in, with the cover on the kennel, the dogs in the kennel, there is no movement at all. I tried by hand. I still strap the kennels down with ratchet straps to be sure.
