Smart and practical pet carriers

When going out, embarking on a holiday or visiting friends and family, there is no reason for you to always leave your pet at home or in someone else's care. A pet carrier lets your dog, cat or other pet animal tack along for the ride.

The pet crates provide a safe and comfortable place for your pet to rest, while you will not have to worry about moving around all over the place when you are driving or travelling in general. It might also be that you need a pet crate for exhibitions, pet hotels or holiday homes. No matter what you need one for, pet crates are one of the key pet supplies to have.

Pet crates come in a variety of designs that are ideal for several travelling methods, such as:

• In the car

• On the bicycle

• As manual carry

The various customised designs make it easy for you to transport your pet in a secure, trusty and comfortable manner, no matter how you prefer to travel. With convenient handles or carry straps, durable materials, and convenient features for easily placing or removing the carrier safely, our pet carriers got you and - most importantly - your pet covered.

Also, be sure to check out our pet carrier accessories for even greater comfort for your pet during travel. 

How big of a pet carrier do I need?

This question is a big concern to most pet owners. Of course, you wish the best for your dear animal friend and want to ensure they have enough room inside the pet carrier. They should generally all be big enough for your pet to be able to stand, sit and turn inside the carrier. Common guidelines for choosing an ideal carrier size include:

• A cat carrier should be at least one and a half times bigger than your cat.

• A pet carrier can also be too big, as you should also be able to carry it comfortably without risking harming your pet.

• Soft-sided carriers for dogs typically require 5 to 8 extra centimetres in height, while hard-sided carriers require 7 to 12 centimetres extra.

• Wearable carriers are meant to be snuggly and cosy. Your choice of carrier bag should be big enough to fit your pet and let you carry it around comfortably.

• A pet carrier should also fit your pet’s weight. Therefore, always check the pet crate’s maximum carry weight.

If you doubt whether or not the pet carrier has a fitting size, it is always a good idea to measure your pet and compare it to the product’s specific dimensions. If your dog is in between pet carrier sizes, go for the larger carrier.

Discover small pet carrier bags for convenient manual carry

Do you need to carry your smaller pet along on public transport, on the aeroplane or when out and about in the city? A pet carrier bag is a practical and elegant way to transport your pet and ensure it does not jump out or act over-excited around other people. Our pet-carrying bags are available as both regular shoulder bags and crossbody bags. And with extra padding on the shoulder strap also available, it is easier for you to carry your pet comfortably.  

Metal pet crates provide maximum light and ventilation

While they might not be the most appealing visually, a metal pet crate is highly practical for both you and your pet. If your pet thrives best with much light, this option is ideal. The metal frame also offers high stability and durability to provide a safe space for your pet for years to come, while the classic lattice design allows for maximum airflow. The bottom is equipped with a practical plastic drawer that is easy to clean and wash.

Avoid dog hairs in your car with a car boot or seat cover

As many dog owners know, having your pet along with you for the ride in the car can easily result in dog hairs or muddy paw prints being left all over the car. Even more frustratingly, it can be difficult and quite bothersome to clean. A possible solution to this commonly occurring problem is with a car boot or car seat cover, which protects both the bottom and the sides of your car. That way, it is easier for you to keep dog hair in the car at a minimal level, and it makes for more effortless cleaning.

Our car boot and seat covers are made of comfortable and practical materials that are easy for you to clean. The non-slip coating makes it easy for your pet to maintain a proper grip and remain safe while the car is in motion. In combination with a vehicle pet barrier, you have a quite reliable setup for transporting your pet.
