Wicker Pet Carriers

Wicker pet carriers are elegant and functional solutions for safely transporting cats, small dogs and other household pets. These hand-woven baskets combine traditional craftsmanship with the modern needs of pet owners, offering a natural alternative to plastic carriers. Thanks to their aesthetic and multifunctionality, wicker carriers work perfectly both for travel and as permanent beds at home.

What can you use wicker carriers for?

Wicker carriers are useful in many pet-care situations. They are most commonly used for veterinarian visits, providing safe and comfortable transport for routine exams, vaccinations or medical emergencies.

These natural transport baskets perform well on car, train and air journeys, where appearance and ventilation matter. Special wicker bicycle pet carriers with rack mounts allow active owners to take their four-legged friends on bike outings.

In everyday home use, wicker pet baskets serve as stylish beds that fit harmoniously into living rooms, bedrooms and other spaces. Their natural look makes them part of the interior décor rather than just a utilitarian item.

Why choose wicker?

Natural wicker provides excellent ventilation, which is key to pets' comfort during transport. Unlike plastic alternatives, wicker carriers allow free air circulation, preventing overheating and ensuring comfortable travel conditions.

The aesthetics and natural appearance of wicker carriers make them a great match for home decor. Available in various shades — from a light natural tone to elegant brown — wicker baskets become a stylish decorative element when not used for transport.

A major advantage is versatility — the same baskets serve both for transport and as comfortable home beds. Metal closures with grilles ensure safety during transit, and once opened or removed the pet can freely use the basket as its resting place.

Lightweight construction combined with solid craftsmanship makes carrying even larger carriers easy. The eco-friendly nature of natural wicker appeals to environmentally conscious pet owners.

How to care for a wicker pet carrier?

Caring for wicker carriers requires a gentle approach. Regular vacuuming and wiping with a damp (not wet) cloth and a mild detergent will help keep them clean. After cleaning, allow thorough drying in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Using waterproof liners and washable blankets that can be laundered separately will protect the wicker from stains.

What models of carriers are available?

Wicker pet basket with cushion, grille and closure is a classic, comfortable solution for vet visits and short trips. The soft cushion increases pet comfort, and the front grille with closure provides a sense of security while carrying.

Wicker cat house with cushion, handle and metal door combines the function of a cozy home shelter with transport practicality. The handle makes carrying easy, and the door allows quickly converting the house into a closed carrier when needed.

For bike lovers we recommend the wicker bike basket for pets with lid and metal grille, with leather straps. It mounts securely to the rack and the lid with grille prevents the pet from jumping out during the ride. Leather straps add elegance and reliable fastening.

We also offer models for bird keepers: a wicker carrier for birds and pigeons in a natural form and a wicker pigeon carrier with lid – heart, especially valued on ceremonial occasions. Both variants combine the breathability of the weave with calm, secure transport.

A universal choice for everyday use is the wicker pet carrier — aesthetic, visually light and comfortable to carry. Alternatively, the wicker pet basket with grille and closure is ideal as a secure carrier for cats and small dogs and can serve as a temporary bed at home.

The variety of shapes — from classic baskets to houses and bike baskets — lets you choose a carrier that fits your lifestyle, travel frequency and your pet's temperament while keeping the warm, natural character of wicker in every situation.
