Thank you for all your advice everybody
Im looking at Vauxhall Viaro or a Berlingo. Looked at ex dog warden vans very over priced for the van itself!! it seems its an extra 2k for the cages.
Just 2 questions : I'm in Castleford does anyone know where I could get sign writing on my van please?
Secondly how do you safely attach dog cages inside a van or Berlingo?

We bought a kit off ebay for a fiat ducato maxi ( large transit sized van ) for about £70. After we had taken the time to apply it many people commented that it looked smart. We were even asked to leave parts of the decals on for its new owners.

That's one cheap way of doing it anyway.

Op don't buy an ex dog warden van. Just get a standard viaro or berlingo. U will work out how to kit it out best for you as you go. Good quality crates are best bought online. I can't remember where I got mine but they are exceptionally good industrial quality & were half the price of the stuff in pets ** home. You really won't need to fill the car with crates. Just one or two will be quite sufficient to separate anyone that's a bit of a pain for one reason or another. The dogs tend to like to lie together. There are metal rings on the floor of all berlingos to secure things to. You can use thin rope or cable ties etc.

Yup, the dog walker in my block uses a berlingo too. Looks like the dog walkers vehicle of choice
