Savic Trotter 3 Pet Carrier, Dark Grey

About Savic Trotter 3 Pet Carrier

Vet visits, moving house and train or car journeys are much less stressful when your pet travels in a secure, well-ventilated carrier. Savic Trotter 3 Pet Carrier is a hard plastic travel box with a coated metal mesh door, in dark grey.

The Trotter 3 measures 60.5 x 40.5 x 39 cm and is made for pets up to 10 kg. It suits larger cats and small dogs up to about 10 kg.

The Trotter range has ventilation slots along the sides, a carry handle on top and click-shut clips that hold the two halves together. The top half lifts off, which makes it easy to lift out a nervous cat at the vet and to clean the carrier afterwards. Savic makes the Trotter 3 for car, train, boat and air travel and lists it as IATA approved.

Savic is a Belgian pet products company, and the Trotter is one of its best known carriers.

Which Trotter Size?

Measure your pet standing, from nose to the base of the tail and from the floor to the top of the head. Choose a carrier a little longer and taller than your pet.

How to Use

• Get your pet used to it. Leave the carrier open at home with a soft blanket and treats inside, so it becomes a safe den rather than a sign of the vet.
• Line it. Add an absorbent pad or towel in case of accidents on the journey.
• In the car. Place the carrier on the floor behind a front seat, or secure it with a seat belt so it cannot slide.
• Cleaning. Lift off the top, wash with mild soap and water, rinse and dry. Disinfect after a sick pet has travelled in it.
• Check the clips. Make sure all clips and the door are closed before you lift the carrier.

Safety and Precautions

• Right size. Your pet should be able to stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably inside.
• Heat. Never leave a pet in a carrier in a parked car. Cars heat up very fast.
• Air travel. Airline rules differ. Check with the airline before you fly, even for IATA-listed carriers.
