Default Using a Pet Carrier

We put the carrier on end so it opens to the top. Have it open and set
up quite awhile ahead of time. When you carry her towards it -- walk
backwards so she doesn't see you're walking towards a carrier.

Turn around quickly and drop her in to the bottom all in one move. You
can usually (and hopefully!) get the top shut before she knows what
happened.

Good luck!

I started taking care of a stray a few months ago and want to take her
to the vet for a checkup, shots etc. Even though stray someone had been
taking care of her, she's friendly and has gotten used to us pretty
easily.

But I cannot get her in a pet carrier! Ive tried several times and
several carriers, including a large one for dogs. Before I can get the
door closed she is out!!! I searched for a vet that would make house
calls but havent found one in Tulsa Ok. Any help will be
appreciated. Im trying to get her used to it a bit at a time with the
top off etc but hasnt helped yet

thx BC
