After months of waiting for it, the day has finally come: you are going on vacation. If you are one of those who does not want to be separated from your pet even for a few days, it is very likely that you have thought about taking it with you. In addition to having made sure that it meets all the necessary requirements if you are going to travel in Europe or outside of it, another of the most important aspects is choosing a good carrier. It may seem trivial, but the truth is that it is more important than you think, the well-being of your pet is at stake and that is why we are going to give you all the keys to choose the most appropriate one . First of all, we must emphasize that it is important that it is approved and sold in specialized stores.
- Better rigid carriers: to ensure the safety of your pet at all times, it is recommended that you choose a carrier made of a resistant material such as metal, rigid plastic or even wood. However, if you are simply going to use it for a walk and it is a small pet, this aspect is not so important and you can choose a bag or trolley type.
- Measure your pet: Although the truth is that their safety must take precedence over anything else, their comfort is also very important. For this reason, you must make sure that your dog can move freely inside the carrier, that his ears do not touch the ceiling and that he can turn around perfectly. For this, the most appropriate thing is that you measure it and thus you can choose a model that perfectly suits it.
- If you travel by car, pay attention to the location of the transport box : not just anywhere. Veterinarian Carlos Rodríguez recommends placing it on the ground and behind the passenger seat. On the contrary, if it is a large animal, it must go on the back with a series of approved hooks.
- As for the door, you need to make sure it is sturdy. In addition, an important feature is that it is mesh, but that the head of the animal does not fit through the holes if you do not want to get upset. Another aspect to take into account is that it must have a secure closure, if it has more than one, much better.
- It must have a good ventilation system.
- It is essential that it has a trough and trough , especially on long journeys.
- Finally, make sure that it is identified with a sticker in which you include your data, for what may happen. Prevention is better than cure!
