The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of pet travel carriers, and specifically relates to a pet travel carrier.
Pet travel carriers are mostly used to carry or transport pets in a long journey. Keeping a pet in a pet travel carrier during carrying or transportation of the pet in a long journey can ensure the safety of the pet and prevent the pet from escaping and contacting with the outside world. During the use of a pet travel carrier in the prior art, generally a pet is directly put into the travel carrier, and a cushion or tray is additionally provided inside the travel carrier. When moving in the narrow space of the travel carrier, the pet is likely to be contaminated by its own excrement, causing many sanitation problems and making the space inside the travel carrier messy. In addition, the travel carrier in the prior art has an integrated box structure which could be opened from one end thereof. Such a travel carrier is bulky, and the messy space inside the travel carrier cannot be cleaned easily. Moreover, it is inconvenient for the user to move when the travel carrier in the prior art is carried or held by the user. The above technical deficiencies lead to the low practicability and infrequent use of the pet travel carrier in the prior art.
An objective of the present disclosure is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a portable, easy-to-clean and highly practical pet travel carrier.
To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solutions are employed in the present disclosure.

Further, an elongated groove is provided on each of two sides of the lower box to facilitate movement of the pet travel carrier.
Further, a handle is arranged on an upper part of the upper box, and a cylinder is arranged on a middle part of the handle.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages.
The tray is separated from the boxes in the present disclosure. The pet's excrement falls on the tray through holes of the perforated plate on the lower box, so that the environment inside the boxes can be kept clean.
The present disclosure has a simple structure which is easy to fabricate. The use of the tenon and mortise structure in combination with the connectors makes the pet travel carrier of the present disclosure easy to assemble and firm.
The detachable design of the hollow travel carrier body facilitates the disassembly of the travel carrier body for thorough cleaning of the inside of the travel carrier body. The detachable travel carrier bottom structure facilitates the disassembly of the bottom of the travel carrier for thorough cleaning. The removable tray structure is conducive to keeping the insides of the boxes clean during daily use.
The arrangement of the handle and the rollers makes the pet travel carrier easier to carry and move in the present disclosure.
