Traveling with a pet is easier with the right gear. Arbasa carries soft-sided airline-approved carriers for cabin travel, backpack-style carriers for hands-free outings, foldable pop-up crates for road trips, and rolling pet luggage for longer journeys — all sized for cats and small-to-medium dogs.

How to Choose a Pet Carrier

For flights, always check your airline's current carrier size limits before buying — most allow a soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat (typically under 18 × 11 × 11 inches). For car travel, a carrier that can be secured with a seatbelt through the handle loop is safest. Introduce the carrier at home before travel by leaving it open with familiar bedding inside, so your pet associates it with comfort rather than a vet visit.

Pet Carrier FAQs

Are soft-sided carriers airline approved?

Most major airlines accept soft-sided pet carriers in the cabin if they meet size and weight requirements and fit under the seat in front of you. Always verify the specific airline's policy before your flight, as requirements vary. Your pet also needs to be counted as a carry-on item.

What size carrier does my cat need?

Your cat should be able to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Measure your cat's length (nose to tail base) and height (floor to shoulder standing) and add 4 inches to each. A snug carrier is calming for most cats during travel; too much extra space can cause them to feel insecure.
