How do I choose the right carrier size for my pet?

To ensure your pet's comfort and safety, they should be able to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably inside the carrier. The Trixie Connor Backpack is designed for pets up to 8kg and measures 42cm x 29cm x 21cm. Measure your pet's height (from paw to top of shoulder when standing) and length (from nose to base of tail when standing) and compare it to the carrier dimensions.

How can I keep my pet happy and comfortable during long-distance travel?

• Familiarisation: Introduce your pet to the backpack gradually before travel. Leave it open at home with treats or toys inside to create positive associations.
• Comfort Items: Include a familiar blanket or a favourite toy with your scent to help your pet feel secure.
• Hydration & Breaks: For road trips, ensure regular stops for water and potty breaks. For air travel, follow airline guidelines for hydration (often ice cubes or water bowls in the carrier).
• Stay Calm: Your pet can pick up on your stress. Remain calm and reassuring during the journey.
• Vet Consultation: For very anxious pets or extremely long journeys, consult your vet about calming aids or advice.

What do I need to know about travelling with my pet on airlines?

• Airline Regulations are Key: Each airline has specific policies regarding pet travel, especially for cabin allowance. It is crucial to contact your chosen airline directly before booking your flight to confirm their exact requirements for carrier dimensions, pet weight limits (including the carrier), breed restrictions, documentation, and booking procedures.
• Carrier Specifications: While the Trixie Connor Backpack is often suitable, confirm that its dimensions (42cm x 29cm x 21cm) meet your airline's under-seat requirements.
• Health Certificates: Many airlines and countries require a health certificate from a veterinarian, issued within a specific timeframe before travel.
• Reservations: Pet spaces in the cabin are limited, so book your pet's spot well in advance.
• Preparation: Ensure your pet has relieved themselves before boarding. Limit food intake a few hours prior to the flight to reduce the risk of upset stomachs.

The Trixie Connor Backpack offers a blend of practicality, comfort, and compliance, making every journey with your beloved pet a more enjoyable experience.
