I would recommend getting a different cage or one that requires two fingers to engage a spring. Dogs are unable to open the cages that have the springs in my experience. These are similar to cat carriers that have the spring loaded mechanism on the door. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Shuri. I would try a couple of practice outings with her in the carrier before your big trip. It will help her get acclimated to the kennel. You can stop to offer her the litter box every two hours or so. She won't likely use it everytime, but it is nice to give her the opportunity to do so. Provide very small amounts of food at these breaks. Do not over feed her or she could become car sick. Offer water at this time too and possibly more frequently if she seems interested in drinking. Leave the air conditioning on in the car to keep her cool. You can try Feliway spray. It is a calming pheromone for cats. It is very helpful to some, while others do not like it. I hope this information helps!

I would not recommend these for any long periods of time (15mins max) as the posture in the carrier is very different to a normal, standing dog and I would be concerned both about the spine and pressure on internal organs. Dogs should be encouraged to walk and stretch normally in order to maintain bone, muscle and ligament strength and core fitness in order to reduce the risk of injuries

Hi! This is a great question. I would highly recommend removing the higher levels from the cage while Mistie recovers from her spay surgery. It will be important to keep her quiet with no jumping, running, or risk of fall since her incision needs time to heal without disturbance. Any increase in activity can result in the incision breaking down, which can be serious. Alternatively, you can keep her in a dog crate or in a small bathroom while she recovers. The veterinarian that does the spay will give you specific post operative care instructions as well.

You really do want to limit Grey’s walking around and especially don’t allow her to jump. Go ahead and put her back in her room. It’s normal for cats to meow when they aren’t happy about being confined. Try visiting her in her room instead of her visiting in your room. If she really gets distressed, call the vet and ask about a sedative. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
