Top Pet Carriers for Under $100

So you want to take your cat or dog on a little trip. Whether its only the local veterinarian down the road, or a couple hours ride in the car to a relative, cats and dogs sometimes have a tendency not to behave in the car, and the last thing you need is a handful of sharp claws digging into your shoulder as you are trying to navigate the roads and highways, or a bouncing puppy distracting you.

A pet carrier is of course a necessary component of traveling with your cat or dog, and with an extensive variety to choose from, you should have no problem finding a well-made, well-suited pet carrier for under $100. Of course, you can find pet carriers significantly cheaper, even as low as $20-$30 dollars, but in this article we will focus on more expensive models, suitable for moderate to heavy usage, rather than just the occasional short trip. The pet carriers in this article are also for small to medium sized pets, able to fit all cats and perhaps medium sized dogs.
