What is a Pet Carrier?

In simple terms, a pet carrier actually is a modified portable pet crate, convenient to take pets for a short ride or long trip outside. Sometimes pet owners use the portable carriers for crating at home due to the comfort and space-saving benefits.

If you think it’s not necessary to buy a pet carrier for the few times of traveling, you must neglect the wide use of pet carriers in daily life. They’re also very helpful on car traveling and camping. As long as you learn about the use clearly, a pet carrier is a worthy purchase for your pet’s safety.

4 ‘Dos’ When You Choose a Pet Carrier

Do Buy a Right-Sized Pet Carrier

It’s not wise to buy a too small or oversized pet carrier. If the pet carrier is too small, your pet will have to be cramped into it. A cramped dog or cat won’t be happy or even healthy during the trip. On the contrary, an over-sized carrier is difficult to take. And younger dogs or cats may fear about the too much space.

A right-sized pet carrier needs to have enough space for a pet to turn freely, stand, and lie down inside. The proper size can be as one and a half time large as an adult pet, with proper extra width for pets to turn around. If your pet isn’t fully grown, you can buy a carrier that fits a grown pet and partition off some part for your little furry baby.

Do Check the Construction Features of a Pet Carrier

Whether you want a dog kennel with a lifting handle on top, or a carrier bag convenient to take along, you need to check the basic construction and some extra features. A carrier made of soft and firm cloth is more comfortable than some crate-designed ones. Waterproof ones can be better. Most of them are equipped with zipper on top or on the side as a door. Besides, you need to check whether the carrier strap or lifting handle is strong enough to undertake the load of your carrier and pet.

If you don’t hope the pet carrier takes up any space at home, a foldable carrier bag must be your choice. But sometimes pets like staying in a little private space for protection, which is a new invention of pet carriers’ use. According to our customers’ reviews, a customer commented our Extra Large Sized 81cm Long Portable Pet Carrier/House/Cage with Carrying Handle - Blue as “a safe heaven” for her timid dog who’re afraid of storms and thunder sounds --- a perfect private space for pets at home.

Do Leave Adequate Ventilation for Your Pet

One of the most important features is the ventilation of a pet carrier. There’re many types of ventilation ways on a pet carrier --- wire windows, slots and screens. Make sure the ventilation holes can let air go through freely so that your pet won’t be overheated. Besides, owners can check what’s going on inside through the ventilation holes.

Do Look for Durability and Stability in a Pet Carrier

The material of a pet carrier must be sturdy and strong enough, so that pets can’t escape or wandering loose in public places. Moreover, a sturdy pet carrier can protect your pet from many accidents’ hurt. For example, when car suddenly stops, your pet won’t be thrown into the front seat. Or when the airport is very crowded, a firm and stable carrier can help to get rid of pushing and shoving. We have some pet carriers designed for using in car, very stable even the car suddenly stops.

Durability is essential because sometimes pets scratch or bite the carrier during a long trip. It’s unwise to buy a new pet carrier just after your pet get used to the old one. Our carriers are made of soft and high quality waterproof cloth, or thick and firm plastic. The plastic one is a kennel-designed carrier: Portable Dog/Cat Pet Carrier Travel Cage with Front Door - 60 x 40cm
