AmazonBasics Pet Travel Carrier

AmazonBasics Pet Travel Carrier

No typical pet enjoys going to the vets. Understandably so – nobody would enjoy being poked and prodded by a stranger in a room smelling strongly of disinfectant. However, owners can at least make the journey to and from the clinic more enjoyable by purchasing the AmazonBasics Pet Travel Carrier.

Suitable for toy dogs, cats, and smaller pets such as rabbits, this sturdy pet travel carrier is manufactured out of tough plastic and boasts a steel-wire front door. However, your pet won’t necessarily have to use the front door – the top of the carrier also opens to allow for your pet to be picked up and lowered inside the carrier. They’ll end up being spoilt for choice and ultimately will feel more in control of the situation.

Unfortunately, this pet travel carrier does involve a little bit of assemblage. Most of the set-up only requires a bit of logical thinking, but assembling the top door requires a bit more work. Many negative reviews from buyers allude to the top door releasing due to the two closures, so it’s very important that you get this part of the assemblage process right. Perhaps in future upgrades AmazonBasics will redesign how the latches on the top door operate, but for now, this design flaw continues to worry pet owners – especially those with feisty pets who would rather run off than go to the vets.

Yet to counter out the negatives, AmazonBasics pet travel carrier sure does boast many positive design perks. It’s well-ventilated, spare nuts and bolts are included to firmly secure the carrier and can be carried one-handed.

We’re also impressed that AmazonBasics offer their pet carrier in two sizes – a 19-inch or a 23-inch carrier are yours to pick. Although both sizes are neither suitable for longer journeys nor multiple cats, your cat will enjoy lounging out in a larger carrier much more than they would being crammed into a make-do model that they won’t feel comfortable in. Overall, this product is a great choice for owners who want their pet to feel at ease on short trips to the vet.
