Pet Carrier: Check Them All Out Here!

We all like to enjoy our freedom and we dislike being trapped. This is not only true for humans, but also for animals. Of course there are times when this is unavoidable. We refer, of course, to when we have to put our four-legged friends in the shipping crate.

The truth is that, usually, the transport box is  not usually the place they are most happy with, until they get used to it.  However, as we will see below, it is essential, on many occasions, that you have a shipping box.

We will show you the different options that exist.

The pet carrier

The transport box for pets is an essential element, if we have to take our friend away from home on certain occasions and depending on the type of animal it is.

It is usually used to take the animal to the veterinarian or to travel, either by car or by other means of transport, such as the plane. It is a safe and convenient way for us and it also keeps our pet safe.

For this to be accomplished, we have to  take into account certain issues when purchasing the most suitable transport box. If you’re wondering what it is, the answer is simple: the one that best suits your needs.

The size of the pet carrier box

We have to take into account that the transport box for pets must allow the animal, usually a dog or cat, to have enough space for the trip to be pleasant.

To do this, you must measure the height and width of the box. Next, you will need to ensure that the size of the crate allows your animal to stand upright, without its head or ears touching the roof of the crate.

Besides, he would have to be able to lie down on the floor of the box without any problems, so that he could rest. The ideal would be that even he could walk inside the box, in the case of some models.

Of course, if the trip is going to be in a means of transportation other than your own vehicle, you will have to consult and adapt to the requirements of the different transport companies. In this way, you will be completely sure that, when it is time to travel, there will be no problem when boarding your pet.

On the other hand, if it is to be used in your car, you must also make sure that the transport box is suitable for your car.

The different types of carrier for your dog

Plastic transport box for pets 

We can find it with wheels or without them and, depending on the size of the animal, we will choose one model or another.

Some models have a grille on the top, which is usually suitable for favoring ventilation and minimizing the feeling of being trapped, while others have a grille on the door, which is on one of the fronts or on the sides.

Carrying bag for pets

In this case, as the name implies, it is a padded bag inside, which has several ventilation slots.

This type of transport is very practical when traveling with small animals. It gives us and our pet the feeling of being closer. One advantage is that if you like to travel and be in fashion, these bags have a multitude of designs to choose from.

Once again, we insist that it is very important that you check with the shipping company you will be traveling with to find out if they allow your pet to travel in this type of shipping crate.

Backpack for pets

This system is very similar to the one used to transport babies and young children. It’s a kind of backpack in which we introduce the animal and that we can put both on our chest and on our back.

It also has original designs and is a very suitable option when we want to move with our furry friend everywhere.

Cart

In this case, it’s a backpack or bag that has built- in wheels so we can push or pull when it’s more practical than carrying it on your lap or on your back. It’s very practical, as we can always choose how to take it.

We have the option of transporting it in the form of a bag or a backpack and, for longer trips, we will have wheels that will make the task much simpler.

Now you know the many options you have. It’s just up to you to choose the one that best suits your needs and plan a trip with the best friend you can have.
