Explore Different Types of Pet Carriers

Soft-Sided Pet Carriers

Soft-sided carriers are often lightweight and convenient to carry. Many designs include mesh panels for ventilation and visibility, along with padded interiors and practical carrying handles. They can be useful for suitable cats and smaller dogs, depending on the carrier's dimensions and weight limit.

Hard-Sided Pet Carriers

Hard-sided carriers provide a structured enclosure for transporting pets. They are available in different sizes and may feature secure doors, ventilation openings and removable components for easier cleaning. Check the construction, fastening system and recommended weight capacity before choosing one.

Pet Carrier Backpacks

Backpack-style carriers offer a hands-free way to transport certain smaller pets. Look for suitable ventilation, secure closures, comfortable straps and enough room for your pet to sit or reposition itself naturally. Always follow the manufacturer's guidance about the animal types and sizes the backpack is designed for.

Travel Carriers for Cats

Cats often benefit from a familiar, secure carrier when travelling to appointments or other destinations. Choose a suitable size with good ventilation, secure access and a stable base. Explore our wider Cat Supplies collection for more products to support your cat's everyday needs.

Travel Carriers for Dogs

When choosing a carrier for a dog, consider its breed, measurements, weight and temperament. The carrier should provide enough space for the dog to sit, stand and turn around comfortably, where appropriate for the product and journey.

Choosing the Right Pet Carrier

Before purchasing, check the carrier's internal dimensions, maximum recommended weight, ventilation, construction and fastening system. Your pet should have sufficient space for the intended journey, and the carrier must be appropriate for its species, size and individual needs.

Consider how you will use the carrier, whether it needs to fit inside a vehicle and whether it can be stored easily when not in use. For air travel, always check the airline's current carrier requirements before booking, as acceptance rules and dimensions vary.

Comfort and Safety When Travelling

Introduce your pet to a new carrier gradually before travelling. Allow time for it to become familiar with the carrier and consider using familiar bedding where suitable. Check that all doors, zips, clips and fastenings are secure before setting off.

Ensure there is adequate ventilation and protect your pet from excessive heat or cold. Never leave an animal unattended in a vehicle in conditions that could cause overheating or distress. Inspect the carrier regularly for damage and follow the manufacturer's cleaning and maintenance instructions.
