The 6 Best Small animal transport box

Table of Contents:

A visit to friends and relatives, a visit to the vet: Whenever you and your little pet want to go for a walk or a ride together, the right accommodation is important. A transport box offers many advantages here. Depending on the model, it can be secured in the car. Good boxes are designed so that small animals suffer less stress. Last but not least, they ensure that birds, hamsters or cats arrive at their destination and cannot flee on the way.

For the transport box to really prove itself, it should be perfectly tailored to your pet. The right size is a must for every animal species, no matter if rodent, bird, cat or small dog. It must not be too tight even for a short period of time. The animal should be able to move, too small a transport cage can lead to panic. Too much leeway isn’t good either. Here the danger of injury is unnecessarily increased, if the small animal becomes restless. Even a sudden braking manoeuvre in the car that becomes necessary will tend to lead to injuries if the transport box is too large. The most important point is adequate ventilation. It is not only in midsummer that car temperatures get hot much too quickly, often despite air conditioning. In addition, nervousness – and this can be quite normal with a change – leads to an increased oxygen demand. The air must therefore be able to circulate so that your small animal is optimally supplied at all times. But the pet owner may also think of himself when buying a transport box: It should be comfortable to carry, a carrying strap in addition to a sturdy handle makes longer journeys easier.

Regardless of whether it is a pure plastic version or the version with metal and plastic, it is always important that the transport box has no sharp edges. This is not only an advantage for the animal, but also for the owner and the veterinarian. We recommend models that can be extra secured in the car. This not only meets legal requirements, but also increases transport safety. Unpaved transport boxes can slip and tilt even during normal braking or cornering. Although this does not necessarily pose a health risk, it does cause avoidable excitement for your small animal. Last but not least, the closure of the transport box must also function reliably. It must not rise by itself even when carrying and a restless animal. Two closures are therefore better than one for larger boxes – so there is still a safety reserve. If you plan to fly with your small animal, you should know the regulations of the airlines as well as the regulations for vaccinations and quarantine. The IATA regulations specify how a transport box must be designed.

In boxes with a front opening, small dogs and cats like to get in on their own. This is especially the case if they have the opportunity to explore the transport box on their own in advance. At the latest at the veterinarian these models are no longer necessarily practical. Excited cats defend themselves with their claws when a stranger reaches into the box from the front. Therefore, a model where the lid can also be removed is far more practical. These transport boxes are also much easier to clean. As an option, carrying aids can be equipped with cooling mats or warming blankets. Whether additional accessories such as water containers and bowls make sense depends on the intended use. Only for the visit at the veterinarian they do not have to be present. A must for a bird transport box, however, is that a perch is integrated. Your bird can hold on here. The cage itself should be darkened for transport, even if models with bars reflect a normal everyday situation for the bird.
