Phred beat to me to it, I was gonna say the same!

I think once Peanut associates this new carrier with a vet visit, she won't be so happy about it, but give it a try! If she's unhappy, then put her in the old carrier for vet visits.

The one you bought looks really good, and Samsonite is quality, but I wouldn't dare put him in it, I think he'd be out in less than 2 min.

After trying several ways of getting Fister in the box, we decided to try and put the box out a few days before we travelled, and much to our surprize, he went in and took a long nap. I had put a towel and sprinkled some catnip.

Of course, at the important moment, he was nowhere near it.
