Pet Carriers

Taking your furry, feathery, or scaly friend on an adventure? You need something safe and comfy to carry them in. Rigid Packaging UK provides pet carriers that are built with your pet's comfort and safety in mind. These carriers help make trips less stressful for both you and your animal companion. What are Pet Carriers? Pet carriers are like little portable homes for your pets. They are boxes or cages designed to safely move animals from one place to another. Think of them as a special travel suitcase, but specifically made for animals. They keep your pet secure, prevent escapes, and protect them from outside elements like rain or wind. Our pet carriers come in different shapes and sizes to fit various types of animals, from tiny hamsters to medium size dogs and cats. Why Choose Rigid Packaging UK Pet Carriers? We understand that your pet is part of your family. That is why our pet carriers are made using strong and reliable materials. We want to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe during travel. Our carriers are not flimsy. They are built to last and handle the normal bumps and movements that happen when you are traveling. Ventilation is important for your pet's comfort. That’s why our carriers have plenty of air holes or mesh windows. These features allow fresh air to circulate inside, preventing your pet from getting too hot or stuffy. Your pet will be able to breathe easily and stay comfortable during the journey. Cleaning up messes is never fun. Our pet carriers are designed with easy cleaning in mind. Many models feature a removable bottom tray or washable materials. This makes it simple to clean up accidents and keep the carrier fresh and hygienic for your pet. You can quickly wipe down the interior or remove the tray for a more thorough cleaning. Our pet carriers also come with secure latches and closures. This prevents your pet from accidentally opening the carrier and escaping. You can be sure that your pet will remain safely inside throughout the trip. The latches are designed to be strong and reliable, keeping your pet contained even if they try to wiggle their way out. Types of Pet Carriers We Offer Rigid Packaging UK has a variety of pet carriers to suit different needs. We have hard sided carriers, which are strong and offer maximum protection. These are great for longer trips or for pets that might be a bit anxious during travel. We also offer soft sided carriers, which are lighter and more flexible. These are ideal for shorter trips or for pets that are already comfortable with traveling. For smaller animals like cats, rabbits, or small dogs, we have carriers with handles on top. This makes it easy to carry them like a suitcase. For larger dogs, we have carriers with wheels and a pull handle, similar to luggage. This makes it much easier to move heavier pets through airports or other travel locations. We also offer specialized carriers for birds and reptiles. Bird carriers often have perches inside for the bird to stand on. Reptile carriers are designed to maintain a specific temperature and humidity level, ensuring the reptile's comfort and health during transport. Choosing the Right Size Picking the right size carrier is crucial for your pet's comfort and safety. The carrier should be big enough for your pet to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. It should not be so large that your pet slides around during travel, but not too small that they feel cramped or restricted. Measure your pet while they are standing. Add a few inches to their height and length to determine the minimum carrier size you need. If you are unsure, it's always better to choose a slightly larger carrier than one that is too small. Your pet will appreciate the extra space to move around. Using Your Pet Carrier Before you use the pet carrier for a trip, let your pet get used to it. Leave the carrier open in a room where your pet spends time. Put a comfortable blanket or toy inside to make it inviting. You can even place treats inside to encourage your pet to enter the carrier. This helps them associate the carrier with positive experiences and reduces anxiety when it's time to travel. During travel, make sure the carrier is secure in your car or on the plane. Use a seatbelt to secure it in your car. On a plane, follow the airline's guidelines for pet carriers. Keep the carrier out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures. Talk to your pet in a calm and reassuring voice during the journey. This can help to ease their anxiety and make them feel more comfortable. Offer them water and small snacks during breaks in the trip. Care and Maintenance Regular cleaning is essential to keep your pet carrier fresh and hygienic. After each use, wipe down the interior with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove any removable trays or liners and wash them with soap and water. Make sure everything is completely dry before putting it back in the carrier. Inspect the carrier regularly for any signs of damage. Check the latches, zippers, and straps to make sure they are in good working order. Replace any damaged parts immediately to ensure your pet's safety. When not in use, store the pet carrier in a clean and dry place. This will help to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. Storing it properly will also extend the lifespan of the carrier. Rigid Packaging UK is dedicated to providing safe and reliable pet carriers. We believe that every pet deserves a comfortable and stress free travel experience.
