{"product_id":"sidekick-open-top-pet-tote","title":"Sidekick Open-Top Pet Tote","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost carriers are boxes with a grille. Your cat goes in, sees very little, and spends the trip deciding whether this is the end. The Sidekick works the other way round: it is an open-top tote, so their head stays out, they can see where they are going, and they can get out on their own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole idea. It is not a better box — it is a bag your animal can sit in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy open-top helps\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlenty of cats settle better when they can see out and are not fully enclosed. Nothing here forces the issue: there is no door to shut, so the carrier stays somewhere they can leave, which is usually what makes them willing to stay in it. An internal clip attaches to a harness so a startled animal cannot bolt out of the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCats differ. Some take to this immediately, some never take to any carrier, and a very anxious animal is better served by a covered one. If yours has never travelled well, introduce this at home first and do not make the first outing a vet trip.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen-top design\u003c\/strong\u003e so your pet can sit up and look out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal safety clip\u003c\/strong\u003e to attach to a harness — use it every time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadded, removable base\u003c\/strong\u003e so it holds its shape and washes separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide, padded shoulder strap\u003c\/strong\u003e to spread the weight across your back rather than cutting in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree colourways\u003c\/strong\u003e — Butter, Slate Blue and Fog Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIntroducing it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut it on the floor at home, open, with a blanket that already smells of them inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave it there for a few days.

Do not leave a pet in the tote unattended, in a car, or in direct sun.
