ABSTRACT:
A corrugated plastic pet carrier has a base panel with two side panels. A side panel fold line extends between the base panel and each side panel. The side panels terminate with side panel top flaps which have a handle. Top fold lines extend between the side panels and top flaps. When the pet carrier is assembled, the top flaps abut one another. The top flaps have holes for venting fresh air to the pet inside the pet carrier. The base panel also has two end panels with fold lines separating the base panel from the end panels. The end panels terminate with end panel top flaps. When the pet carrier is collapsed, fasteners secured to the lower corners of the side panels are joined to maintain the pet carrier in a collapsed position. Extending from each side of each end panel is a side support flap. The side support flaps are folded inward toward each other. The side support flaps are secured to the interior surfaces of the side panels. In the operating configuration, the end panel top flaps are folded over the side panel top flaps to form a breathable enclosure for carrying a pet while preventing the pet from forcing pet carrier open and escaping. The pet carrier also has a loading configuration for loading a pet and may be collapsed for convenient storage and handling.
