Hard-Shell Pet Carrier – Small (Top & Front Opening, Includes Cushion)

Vet visits and car journeys can feel unsettling for cats and small dogs, but keeping them safely contained shouldn't add to the stress. A hard-shell carrier provides solid protection if there's a sudden stop or wobble, while the top and front openings make loading and unloading far less stressful for nervous pets. This carrier includes a soft cushion, ventilation slots for airflow, and sturdy hooks for secure positioning. It's practical, easy to clean, and built to keep them calm and protected when it matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will my cat fit?
A: It fits cats and small dogs up to 5kg. Measure your pet sitting down: length and height. Check they have room to sit, stand, and turn around comfortably inside the 48×32.5×29cm space.

Q: Is it airline-approved?
A: Most airlines accept hard-shell carriers, but each airline has specific size and ventilation requirements. Check with your airline before booking to confirm this carrier meets their rules.

Q: Why is the top opening better?
A: Nervous cats and small dogs feel less threatened when loaded from above rather than being pushed through a front door. It's less stressful for anxious pets.

Q: Is it easy to clean?
A: Yes. Wipe the carrier with a damp cloth. Remove the cushion and machine wash it. The hard shell doesn't absorb smells or stains like soft carriers.

Q: How do I secure it in the car?
A: Thread your seat belt through the sturdy hooks on the carrier and buckle it. Or place it on a flat surface in the footwell (never on a seat where it could slide).

Q: Will my pet have enough air?
A: Yes. The carrier has ventilation slots on the sides and door for airflow. Your pet won't overheat during short journeys.
