Pet carrier FERPLAST Atlas 10 Open — hard plastic transport box for small pets, model 20916

FERPLAST Atlas 10 Open is a hard plastic transport box designed for small pets. The carrier combines a rigid shell with ventilation slots and a top opening to allow easy access and good airflow. It is intended for short journeys, visits to the veterinarian and everyday transfers by car or on foot, offering a compact, stable enclosure for cats, small dogs and other small animals.

Advantages

The rigid plastic construction provides structural stability and impact resistance while remaining lightweight for carrying. Ventilation slots on the sides ensure continuous airflow and allow the pet to see out, reducing confinement stress. A secure locking mechanism keeps the enclosure closed during transport and the top opening enables convenient handling, inspection or gradual introduction of the pet to the carrier. The size and shape are suited to small animals and fit typical car footwells or carrier racks.

Suitable for

• Short trips and travel by car or foot
• Visits to the veterinarian or groomer
• Temporary housing during transportation or relocation
• Small cats, toy and small-breed dogs, rabbits and similar sized small animals

When it may not be suitable

This carrier is designed for short to medium duration transport and may not be appropriate for long-term confinement or overnight housing. Larger animals or pets that require significant movement space will not fit comfortably. It is not intended as a permanent habitat or for animals that need complex climate control or extensive interior padding.

Key specifications

• Material: hard plastic shell for durability and easy cleaning
• Access: top opening for entry and handling
• Ventilation: side slots providing airflow and visibility
• Closure: secure locking mechanism to keep the carrier closed during transport
• Design: compact shape suited to small pets and typical vehicle spaces

How to use

Place a non-slip mat or absorbent pad on the base to increase comfort and control spills. Open the top and, if needed, coax the pet in using familiar bedding or treats; for nervous animals introduce the carrier gradually. Close and lock the top mechanism before moving the carrier. During transport, position the carrier on a stable, level surface and secure it to prevent sliding. After use, clean the interior and ventilation slots with a mild pet-safe cleaner and allow to dry before storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure your pet to ensure adequate space for standing, turning and lying down
• Confirm the carrier dimensions fit your vehicle or intended storage location
• Consider additional padding or restraints depending on travel duration and pet behaviour
• Check airline or transport regulations if air travel is planned, as approval depends on carrier specifications

Usage recommendations

For safer, calmer journeys use familiar bedding and short acclimation sessions before longer travel. Secure the carrier in the vehicle on a stable surface and avoid extreme temperatures during transport. Regularly inspect the locking mechanism and ventilation slots for debris or wear and replace pads after soiling to maintain hygiene.
