What's the difference between a pet carrier and a pet house?

Pet carriers and pet houses are both used to shelter your four-legged loved ones from the elements and offer a comfortable and safe space. However, pet houses and carriers possess a few key differences that set them apart. Pet houses are long-term shelters for your animal companions, often kept outside as protection from the sun and rain. Pets are typically able to enter and leave their dedicated shelters at will, stepping out to enjoy a beautiful day and popping back in to curl up for a comfy nap. If your location allows for owning poultry birds, you're sure to find a roomy coop from sellers on Etsy to keep your feathered friends safe and comfy. A brilliantly crafted bird cage is the perfect protection for songbirds and other small avians that are best kept indoors. Pet carriers are smaller, more portable shelters that enable you to travel safely and easily with your pet. They’re a convenient type of pet supply if you prefer to take your pet along with you when traveling. Long-distance carriers, like pet crates and kennels , feature locking gates that keep your pet securely contained and help reduce the stress that many animals can experience on long trips in an unfamiliar environment. Around town, cozy pet slings and handy pet totes are both wonderful accessories to help keep your small dog or cat close to you while you shop and socialize.
