If you often visit the vet with your animal or take your pet with you on trips, then you cannot do without a carrier.

This kind of thing helps the animal to endure the journey more easily, and the owner does not have to think about how exactly to take the cat to the doctor.

When choosing a carrier, you need to remember that the pet should be able to stand, sit, lie down and turn around inside.

It is important to understand that a cat squeezed into a small carrier will only feel discomfort.

Before purchasing, you should check all the locks and the strength of the structure.

It should be taken into account that they come in a variety of types: soft fabric, hard plastic, and you can even choose backpack carriers. You need to make sure that all the handles are strong enough.

If you need a carrier for travel, you should choose a more rigid model made of durable shockproof plastic and with a reliable lock.

If the animal is restless, then it is necessary to provide models with several exits. Veterinarians believe that options with a removable lid are also convenient.

In addition, the carrier must be well ventilated. Therefore, it is important to check the ventilation beforehand.
