M-PETS Giro Carrier, Small - 51.6 x 32.7 x 29.6 cm

M-PETS Giro Carrier is the small Giro carrier: a hard plastic box with a moulded slat door at the front, a vented lid and a handle across the top.

Key Features

• 51.6 x 32.7 x 29.6 cm, the smaller of the two Giro sizes
• A moulded plastic door with slats, which is what separates a Giro from the wire-doored Viaggio in the same range
• The lid lifts as well as the door opening, so an animal that will not walk in can be put in from above
• Vented along both sides and across the top
• Carry handle moulded into the lid
• M-PETS is a Belgian brand - the address on the carton is Place du Luxembourg 1, Braine-l'Alleud

Good To Know

• Measure the animal, not the bag. It needs to stand, turn and lie down inside, and the carrier should take the weight given on the label with room to spare.
• A carrier on a car seat goes behind a seatbelt through the handle or the strap slots, not loose in the footwell. An unsecured carrier is a projectile in a stop.
• Leave it open at home with a blanket in it for a week before the first trip. An animal that only sees the carrier on vet days learns exactly what it means.
• Top-opening is the feature that matters at the vet. A cat that has braced itself in the back of a carrier comes out of the lid without a fight; dragged out of a front door, it does not.
