Pet carrier Trixie TX-13174 — car-style, front and side loading, 440×370×400 mm

Trixie TX-13174 car-style pet carrier is designed for small dogs and similar-sized pets, offering a rigid plastic shell with integrated ventilation and two access points. Its external dimensions of 440×370×400 mm provide a compact, stable enclosure suitable for short trips by car, visits to the veterinarian, and temporary housing during transport. The carrier combines a durable construction with simple access to the animal through both a front and a side door.

Advantages

Dual loading—front and side—allows flexible positioning in vehicles and straightforward placement or removal of the pet. Built-in ventilation keeps air circulating inside the kennel, and the compact footprint fits most car interiors while maintaining a secure, enclosed space for the animal.

How to use

Place the carrier on a flat surface or secure it in the vehicle to prevent sliding during travel. Open the front or side door depending on the easiest access and guide the pet into the carrier, ensuring it stands or sits comfortably. Close and latch the door fully before moving the carrier or beginning the trip. Clean the interior after each use with a mild pet-safe detergent and inspect latches and vents regularly for damage.

Usage recommendations

For comfort and safety, add a non-slip mat or a thin padded blanket that fits the carrier’s interior dimensions. Use the side door when placing the carrier on a vehicle seat to reduce stress during loading. Avoid prolonged confinement and ensure supervised breaks during longer journeys.
