The Dayang Pet Carrier is a two-piece hard plastic carrier with a wire door and ventilation slots down both sides, in three sizes.

Key Features

• Rigid shell, which is what you want for a car journey - a soft bag gives way if anything shifts.
• Ventilation slots along both sides and across the back, plus an open wire door.
• Splits into two halves, so a frightened cat can be lifted out by taking the top off rather than dragged through the door.
• Top-mounted carry handle and a sprung door latch.
• Three sizes: 46 x 30.5 x 28.3 cm, 55 x 35 x 32.5 cm and 60 x 38 x 36.5 cm.

Available in: Three sizes. Colour is assorted and is not selectable - Dayang supplies these in mixed colours, so the one you receive may not match the photograph.

Good To Know

• Leave the carrier out at home with the door open and treats inside for a week or two before you need it. An animal that only sees the carrier on vet days learns to run from it.
• Check the door latch and the bolts joining the two halves before every journey, and strap it in with a seat belt rather than leaving it loose in the car.
• Never leave an animal in a carrier in a parked car, even briefly and even with the windows open.
• Airlines each set their own rules on carrier size, material and ventilation, and they change them. Check with your airline and get it confirmed in writing before you fly rather than assuming any carrier is accepted.
• Size it so the animal can stand and turn round. A carrier that is too big is worse than one that is slightly snug, because there is nothing to brace against when the car moves.
