Choose a carrier which has wheels, in case your pet is too heavy to carry, wheels would be very convenient. Your carrier must have a proper ventilation to avoid suffocation for your pet. While in a long distance journey, make sure the carrier has a blanket and a soft toy. It would make your pet feel cozy. The carrier should be devoid of any sharp objects or something equally harmful. And last of all, but not least you should make sure that the carrier has a well-protected locking system. It ensures your pet’s security and also prevents your pet from fleeing.
