- Easy to Clean – Our small animal carriers are designed with easy-to-clean features like removable trays and wipeable surfaces, ensuring that your pet always travels in a clean and hygienic environment.

Types of Small Animal Carriers at Petco
At Petco, we offer a variety of small animal carriers to meet your specific needs:
- Plastic Small Animal Carriers – Plastic carriers are sturdy, secure, and easy to transport. These carriers often come with a handle and offer ventilation holes for airflow, providing your pet with a safe, enclosed environment.
- Wire Mesh Carriers – Wire mesh carriers offer excellent airflow and visibility, allowing your small animal to enjoy the view while staying comfortable. These carriers often have a sturdy base and are great for pets that like to see their surroundings.
- Soft-Sided Carriers – Soft-sided carriers are lightweight and easy to carry, making them perfect for travel. They are often made of durable fabric and are ideal for smaller pets that don’t require as much ventilation space as larger pets.
- Collapsible Carriers – Collapsible carriers provide convenience when it comes to storage. They can easily fold down flat when not in use, making them a great option for pet parents with limited space.
- Rolling Carriers – For larger small animals or longer trips, rolling carriers with wheels provide easy transportation. These carriers offer the convenience of being able to roll your pet’s carrier instead of carrying it by hand.
Common Questions
How do I choose the right carrier for my small animal?
When selecting a carrier for your small pet, consider their size, comfort, and the type of trips you'll be taking. Ensure that the carrier is large enough for your pet to turn around and lie down comfortably. Also, make sure the carrier is well-ventilated and secure to prevent escapes.
Can I use the same carrier for both my hamster and guinea pig?
While some carriers are versatile and can accommodate different small animals, it's important to select a carrier based on your pet’s size and activity level. Hamsters need smaller carriers with secure openings, while guinea pigs require larger, more spacious carriers with plenty of room to move around.
How do I clean my small animal carrier?
Cleaning your small animal carrier is simple. Most carriers have removable trays or bedding that can be wiped down. Use warm water and mild soap to clean the surfaces, and be sure to dry the carrier completely before placing your pet inside. Regular cleaning ensures that your pet stays comfortable and safe during every trip.
