Don’t be caught off guard and not have a carrier when you need one, especially if there’s an emergency. Look for carriers that will give your pet enough space to rest comfortably. Airline Approved carriers can help protect your pet during transport, as the wireframes sewn into some otherwise soft-shell exteriors help maintain the carrier’s shape. Two other important factors to consider when purchasing a carrier include a structure that has ample airflow, as well as a structure that allows for feeding and watering during travel.
