Useful Information & FAQs for Pet Travel & Safety:

General Pet Travel Tips:

• Gradual Introduction: Introduce your pet to the carrier gradually at home before a trip. Leave it open with a comfy blanket and treats inside so your pet associates it with positive experiences. This helps reduce travel anxiety in pets.
• Comfort is Key: Place familiar bedding, a favorite toy, or an old T-shirt with your scent inside the carrier. This creates a comforting environment for your traveling pet.
• Pre-Travel Prep: Avoid feeding your pet a large meal right before travel to prevent motion sickness. A short walk or playtime before a journey can also help calm their nerves.
• Hydration: Always carry fresh water and offer it during stops, especially on longer journeys. Consider a non-spill bowl for inside the carrier.
• Never Leave Unattended: Do not leave your pet unattended in a car, especially in extreme temperatures. Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise or fall rapidly, becoming life-threatening.
• ID Tags & Microchips: Ensure your pet wears identification tags with up-to-date contact information and is microchipped. This is vital in case your pet goes missing during travel.

Car Travel Safety:

• Secure the Carrier: As highlighted by the Trixie Capri 1's design, securing the pet transport box is paramount. Whether on the floor or buckled into a seat, preventing the carrier from sliding or tipping helps avoid injury to your pet and distraction to the driver. This is crucial for car safety for pets.
• Proper Ventilation: Always ensure adequate air flow in the car, especially if the carrier is covered or placed in a confined space. Never put a carrier in the boot of a saloon car, as ventilation is often poor.
• Avoid Front Seat Airbags: Ideally, pet carriers should be in the back seat. Front passenger airbags can seriously injure a pet if deployed.
• Rest Stops: For longer journeys, plan regular stops for your pet to stretch their legs (on a leash), have a drink, and relieve themselves.

Choosing the Right Carrier:

• Adequate Space: Your pet should be able to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably within the carrier. While compact for car travel, it shouldn't be so small that they are cramped. The Trixie Capri 1's dimensions of 48cm long x 31cm wide x 32cm high and 6kg maximum load are ideal for small cat carriers, small dog carriers, and rabbit travel crates.
• Material & Durability: Look for sturdy, easy-to-clean materials like the durable plastic of the Trixie Capri 1. It should be robust enough to withstand potential bumps during transit and resist chewing or scratching.
• Security: Ensure latches and doors are secure and cannot be accidentally opened by your pet.

By following these guidelines and choosing a reliable pet carrier like the Trixie Capri 1 Transport Box, you can ensure your furry companion enjoys a safe, comfortable, and stress-free journey every time.
