FAQs

What types of pets is this carrier suitable for?

This 'Small' size carrier is designed for small cat breeds, small dog breeds (e.g., Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers), puppies, rabbits, and similar small animals. Always measure your pet to ensure they can stand, turn, and lie down comfortably.

How do I clean the Moderna Odyssey Transport Cage?

For routine cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe detergent. For deeper cleaning, wash all plastic parts and the metal door with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I use this carrier for airline travel?

Airline regulations for pet carriers vary widely. While the carrier offers good ventilation and security, it is essential to check with your specific airline for their exact dimension, ventilation, and material requirements before travel.

Does the carrier come fully assembled?

The Moderna Odyssey Transport Cage usually requires minimal to no assembly. It often comes as two halves that snap together, or sometimes fully assembled. Always inspect upon arrival for secure connections.

Is the metal door safe for my pet?

Yes, the metal door is chrome-dipped and non-toxic, ensuring it is safe for your pet even if they lick or chew on it occasionally. It is also designed for durability.

What are the internal dimensions of the 'Small' carrier?

Info needed: Please refer to the product specifications or packaging for the exact internal dimensions. Ensure your pet can comfortably stand, turn around, and lie down inside these measurements.

How do I secure the carrier in a car?

The carrier features a non-slip bottom for stability. For added safety, you can secure it with a car seatbelt by threading the belt through the integrated handle or around the body of the carrier, depending on your vehicle's setup and the carrier's design.

Troubleshooting

My pet seems stressed or anxious inside the carrier.

Acclimate your pet to the carrier gradually. Leave it open in a familiar space with treats and toys. Use a familiar blanket. For travel, cover part of the carrier to create a den-like feel. Consider calming sprays if recommended by your vet.

The top or front door feels stiff or difficult to open/close.

Ensure all connecting clips are properly engaged. Check for any debris or obstructions in the locking mechanism. A small amount of food-grade silicone spray (avoiding contact with pet) can help lubricate stiff plastic parts, but generally, consistent use should smooth operation. Do not force.

The carrier slides around in my car.

Utilize the non-slip bottom by placing it on a flat, stable surface. For optimal safety, secure the carrier with a seatbelt by threading it through the handle or around the carrier body where appropriate. You can also place a non-slip mat underneath the carrier.

I'm unsure if my pet is too big for the 'Small' size.

Your pet should be able to stand up, turn around 360 degrees, and lie down in a natural position comfortably inside the carrier. If they cannot, consider a larger size, such as the Moderna Odyssey Transport Cage - Medium. Info needed: Refer to the product's exact internal dimensions and compare with your pet's measurements.

Setup The Moderna Odyssey Transport Cage - Small typically comes pre-assembled or requires minimal assembly. 1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. 2. Inspect: Check for any damage or missing parts. Ensure both the top and front doors operate smoothly and the locking mechanisms engage securely. 3. Assemble (if required): If the carrier comes disassembled (e.g., top and bottom halves separate), align the connecting clips or latches and press firmly until they click into place. Ensure all connections are secure. 4. Placement: Before introducing your pet, place a comfortable bed or blanket inside to make it inviting. ### Compatibility - Pets: This carrier is designed exclusively for *small-sized pets*. This includes most small cat breeds, small dog breeds (e.g., Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers), puppies, rabbits, or similar small animals. Always measure your pet to ensure they can stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably inside. - Travel: Suitable for car travel, short bus or train journeys. For air travel, always check with your specific airline regarding their pet carrier dimensions and ventilation requirements, as these can vary significantly. - Accessories: Can be used with standard pet pads, small blankets, and travel water bowls that fit within the carrier's dimensions. ### Care - Routine Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the carrier inside and out with a damp cloth and a mild pet-safe detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before use. - Deep Cleaning: For thorough cleaning or after an accident, the carrier can often be disassembled (if applicable) for easier access. Wash all plastic parts with warm, soapy water. The chrome-dipped metal door can also be washed with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the plastic or plating. - Storage: When not in use, ensure the carrier is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place. The fold-away handle helps make it more compact for storage. - Inspection: Periodically check the doors, locks, and latches for any signs of wear or damage. Replace the carrier if any critical security components are compromised.
