pet carriers

Portable animal cages

Pet carriers are portable containers designed to transport animals safely—typically cats, small dogs, or other compact pets.

They come in various forms: soft-sided bags, hard plastic crates, or wheeled carriers resembling luggage.

Airlines, veterinary offices, and public transit often require pets to travel in approved carriers: She bought an airline-compliant pet carrier for the flight.
