You would think that the airlines would have kennels like that for lease to their customers. Better yet, you can start a leasing operation when you are done with them em. Then they will have been earning money for you and you will still own them when you next have to travel.
You would think they would but they don't!! It's insane and that is a great idea for renting them out...if it's a round trip flight. Otherwise, the crates might end up in China...
deposit money, will keep them from ending up in China. If The airlines are renting them out, they can fly them anywhere, anytime when empty and space allows at virtually no expense. $100 to rent would be better than $700 to buy.
Yes, that's quite true! Airlines do need to rent them. I don't know why they haven't before. I was thinking you were saying an individual rent them and that would be difficult. I know there are lots of plastic crates for sale around (craigslist and all), but when we were looking, I didn't see the metal ones.
We were discussing both, airlines or hippie, it would be more difficult as an individual but given enough time to research it I'm sure a way could be figured out.
Wow, that is a brilliant idea for the airlines!! But i cant figure out how i could lease mine out unless someone was planning a round trip from costa rica.. other than that i would need to invest a shit ton of money in kennels and have them spread out across the country or wolrd and im not trying to buy any more of these damn kennels lol.. still tho, your on it doggonit! Great ideas!
I am sure we could figure out a way if we put our minds to it. But you might suggest it to your airline you are using and then offer to lease them your two so they can run a pilot test program.
Yeah, you are right we could figure something out if we thought about it a bit more. There is only one airline that takes bully breeds so that makes it a bit easier. I will definitely ask while we are at the airport. :)
