How to Choose the Perfect Cat Carrier: Here's What to Look for

11.06.2024 07:56

The pet market offers a wide range of carriers and accessories for them, so choosing the right model will not be difficult.

The ideal carrier should be convenient, affordable, and pleasing to the eye of the cat owner. But most importantly, it should be comfortable and safe for the pet itself.

Size of the carrier

For large breed cats or those that have grown to a large size, choose models with larger dimensions.

A spacious carrier will also be useful if you have multiple pets.

Make sure there is enough space inside to accommodate a mat, plastic litter box, water bowls and food bowls – all of which will come in handy if you have a long trip ahead of you.

Type of carrying

When choosing a carrier for a cat, it is important to consider not only its size, but also its type.

Fabric carriers are comfortable, practical, and keep you warm, but they may not be durable enough. They open with a zipper, so be careful - some cats can do this without the owner's help.

Plastic carriers are reliable and durable. The door here is a strong grate with a reliable lock - it is unlikely that the cat will be able to open it. The downside is that such products can be heavy and do not retain heat.

There is another option: baskets. They are suitable for short trips.

Earlier we talked about how to understand that a dog has a grudge against its owner.
