Short answer: BATELI PET is a 20+-year dog carrier manufacturer offering wholesale dog carriers in 5 size categories (XS for toy breeds up to XL for Labradors), 4 core materials (600D Oxford, polyester mesh, EVA foam, steel wire frame), with MOQ starting at 50 units, sample development in 3-7 days, and bulk production in 30-45 days. We export to 50+ countries and hold BSCI, ISO 9001, SGS, REACH, and RoHS certifications.
What Sizes Do Wholesale Dog Carriers Come In?
Dog carriers are sized by pet weight and shoulder height, not just by small/medium/large. BATELI PET offers 5 standard size categories, and custom sizing is available for OEM orders over 500 units.
| Size | Pet Weight | Interior Dimensions (L×W×H) | Typical Breeds |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | up to 5 lbs / 2.3 kg | 33×23×23 cm | Chihuahua, Teacup Yorkie, Maltese |
| S | 5-12 lbs / 2-5 kg | 40×28×28 cm | Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Mini Dachshund |
| M | 12-20 lbs / 5-9 kg | 45×32×32 cm | Beagle, French Bulldog, Cocker Spaniel |
| L | 20-35 lbs / 9-16 kg | 52×38×38 cm | Corgi, Border Collie, Bulldog |
| XL | 35-70 lbs / 16-32 kg | 60×42×42 cm | Labrador, Golden Retriever, Husky |
For airline under-seat compliance, most airlines require carriers under 43×28×28 cm (L×W×H), which corresponds to our S and M sizes. Always verify with the specific airline before bulk ordering for travel retail.
What Materials Are Best for Dog Carriers?
The material choice depends on your target market and use case. BATELI PET uses four core materials, each with specific advantages:
- 600D Oxford fabric: Water-resistant, durable, easy to clean. Most popular for everyday carriers and pet store retail. Available in 12 standard colors and custom Pantone matching for OEM orders.
- Polyester mesh (120g/m²): Breathable, scratch-resistant, allows airflow. Used on 3-5 panels per carrier for ventilation. Tested to withstand 30N puncture force without tearing.
- EVA foam (5mm): Lightweight padding for base and shoulder straps. Provides structure without adding weight. REACH-compliant and odor-free.
- Steel wire frame (2.5mm): Galvanized steel wire for shape retention. Prevents collapse when pet leans against walls. Rust-resistant with 24-hour salt spray test pass.
How Does the Bulk Ordering Process Work?
BATELI PET follows a 5-step wholesale process designed for B2B buyers, Amazon sellers, and pet store chains:
- Inquiry and specification (Day 1-3): Share your target size, material, color, logo, and quantity. We provide a detailed quote within 24 hours with unit price, MOQ, sample cost, and lead time.
- Sample development (Day 3-10): We produce a physical sample with your custom logo and color. Sample fee is $30-$80 (refunded on orders over 500 units). Sample shipping via DHL takes 3-5 days.
- Sample approval and deposit (Day 10-12): Once you approve the sample, pay 30% deposit (T/T, PayPal, or Alibaba Trade Assurance). We confirm all specifications in a signed production sheet.
- Bulk production (Day 12-42): Standard lead time is 30-45 days for 500-5,000 units. We provide weekly production photos and a pre-shipment inspection report with 12 checkpoints.
- Balance payment and shipping (Day 42-45): Pay 70% balance after inspection approval. We ship via ocean freight (25-35 days), air freight (5-7 days), or DDP to your warehouse or Amazon FBA.
What Certifications Do Dog Carriers Need?
For export to the US, EU, and other markets, dog carriers require these certifications:
- BSCI audit: Social compliance audit required by most European retailers and Amazon.
- ISO 9001: Quality management system certification.
- SGS test report: Third-party testing for material safety, zipper durability, and stitching strength.
- REACH (EU): Chemical compliance for fabric and hardware. BATELI PET uses only REACH-compliant materials.
- RoHS: Restriction of hazardous substances in metal hardware and coatings.
- AZO-free: Fabric dye testing required for products sold in the EU.
BATELI PET provides all test reports and certificates free of charge with every wholesale order. We can also arrange additional third-party testing (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas) at cost price for specific retailer requirements.
What Is the MOQ and Pricing for Wholesale Dog Carriers?
BATELI PET standard MOQ is 50 units per model per color. For custom logo and color, MOQ is 100 units. Pricing varies by size, material, and quantity:
- XS-S sizes: $3.50-$6.00 per unit (500+ units)
- M-L sizes: $5.00-$9.00 per unit (500+ units)
- XL size: $8.00-$14.00 per unit (500+ units)
Custom logo (silkscreen or embroidery) adds $0.30-$1.00 per unit. Custom packaging (retail box + hang tag) adds $1.20-$2.50 per unit. Volume discounts apply for orders over 2,000 units.
How Do You Test Dog Carrier Quality Before Bulk Ordering?
Quality testing is critical before committing to a bulk order. BATELI PET provides these quality verification services for wholesale buyers:
- Sample testing: Test the physical sample for zipper durability (50 open/close cycles), stitching strength (50N pull test), mesh puncture resistance (30N), and frame stability (1.5x weight load for 10 minutes).
- Material test reports: We provide SGS test reports for fabric (AZO-free, color fastness), hardware (rust resistance, lead content), and mesh (tear strength, pore size).
- Pre-shipment inspection: For every order over 500 units, we provide a free pre-shipment inspection report covering 12 checkpoints: stitching, zipper, mesh, frame, hardware, logo, color, dimensions, odor, weight, packaging, and shipping marks.
- Third-party inspection: For orders over 1,000 units, we can arrange SGS or Intertek third-party inspection at cost price ($180-$250 per man-day). The inspector visits our factory and tests random samples from your batch.
- Production monitoring: We provide weekly production photos during bulk manufacturing, so you can monitor progress and catch issues early. You can also arrange a factory visit during production (we provide free factory access and interpreter).
We recommend buyers always request a physical sample and test it thoroughly before placing a bulk order. A $50 sample fee is far cheaper than receiving 500 units of defective product. BATELI PET refunds all sample fees on orders over 500 units.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom dog carriers?
The standard MOQ is 50 units per model per color for stock models. For fully custom OEM orders (custom size, color, logo, and packaging), the MOQ is 100-500 units depending on complexity. We can also offer mixed-color orders within the same model to help smaller buyers reach MOQ.
How long does it take to produce a wholesale dog carrier order?
Standard lead time is 30-45 days for 500-5,000 units after sample approval and deposit. Sample development takes 3-7 days. For rush orders, we can expedite production to 20-25 days with a 10% rush fee. Air freight shipping takes 5-7 days, ocean freight takes 25-35 days.
Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. We provide physical samples with your custom logo and color. Sample fee is $30-$80 depending on model and customization, which is fully refunded on orders over 500 units. Sample production takes 3-7 days, and DHL shipping takes 3-5 days worldwide. You can also request material swatches (free) before ordering a full sample.
Do you ship directly to Amazon FBA warehouses?
Yes. BATELI PET ships directly to Amazon FBA warehouses in the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Canada, and Australia. We handle all FBA prep requirements (polybag, FNSKU labeling, set labeling, carton labeling) at $0.30-$0.50 per unit. We can also book ocean or air freight and provide all shipping documents.
