We have always used the plastic carriers.Our Wheaten arrived at the airport in one and it worked so well. She was always hot and prefers to sleep without bedding, also throws up often and easily wiped up. I buy the Dr Foster and Smith one that is very well ventilated and a little taller but still nice and dark/den- like. I do sit them on cotton bathmats to make them quieter and up off the tile floor.Ziva's has a crate mat(Walmart) and her blankets inside(cut a fleece throw in 4 pieces). I say "nite-nite time" and she can't get in fast enough. I sleep better knowing they are safe/so do they! |
