Shortlist, details being checked
The right carrier is the one your pet will walk into, and the one your airline or car actually allows. The size on the box is only the start.
Pick the size from your pet, not from the price. Your pet should be able to stand, turn around and lie down. If you fly, check your airline's own carrier rules before you buy, because sizes and rules differ and can change.

Your pet should be able to stand, turn around and lie down in it. Measure your pet and compare with the interior size listed by the seller.
Only your airline can tell you. Rules differ by airline and can change, so read their carrier page before you buy and before you fly.
Either can work. Top-loading openings and a familiar blanket inside help most. Get your cat used to the carrier at home well before the trip.
Not yet. No link on this site earns us money today. If that changes, we will say so next to every store button, and it will not change what we write.
Because we have not used these products yet. We label a product as tested only when we have our own photos or video of Puffy using it. Until then it is a shortlist, and we say what we still need to verify.
