Ferplast Atlas 20 EL Hard Pet Carrier for Cats and Dogs

The Ferplast Atlas 20 EL is a durable hard-shell pet carrier specifically engineered for the secure and comfortable transport of cats and small dogs. Constructed with high-quality, impact-resistant plastic, this carrier provides a stable environment for your pet during various travel scenarios. Its design focuses on functionality and ease of use, ensuring that both the pet and the owner experience a stress-free journey whether heading to the veterinarian or embarking on a longer trip.

Advantages

This carrier stands out due to its robust construction and reliable locking mechanism, which utilizes lateral spring clips to keep the two halves of the shell securely fastened. The inclusion of a plastic-coated steel door adds an extra layer of security, preventing accidental openings while maintaining high visibility for the pet. Furthermore, the integrated lateral ventilation grilles promote optimal airflow, keeping the interior environment fresh and comfortable throughout the duration of the trip. The ergonomic fixed handle allows for easy carrying, and the smooth plastic surfaces are exceptionally simple to clean and sanitize after use.

Suitable for

• Transporting cats and small dog breeds
• Routine visits to the veterinarian
• Travel by car, train, ship, or aircraft
• Short-term containment during travel

This carrier may not be suitable for very large dog breeds or pets that require significantly more space to stand up and turn around comfortably. It is also not intended for long-term housing or as a permanent crate substitute, as it is designed primarily for transit purposes.

To use the Ferplast Atlas 20 EL, ensure that the side spring clips are fully engaged before placing your pet inside. Open the steel door by operating the latch mechanism, guide your pet into the carrier, and securely lock the door. Always ensure the carrier is placed on a stable, flat surface when inside a vehicle and consider securing it with a seatbelt if applicable. The carrier can be customized with additional accessories such as a soft cushion or a feeding trough to increase comfort for longer journeys.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the dimensions against your pet's size to ensure they can stand and turn around comfortably
• Check the weight capacity requirements for your specific mode of transport
• Consider if additional accessories like cushions are needed for your pet's comfort

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the spring clips and the door latch to ensure they are functioning correctly. Clean the interior with mild soap and water after each use to maintain hygiene.
