Abstract: A pet carrier with a container base (4) having a bottom surface (20), a plurality of side walls (22) that extend from the bottom surface to define a hollow interior compartment (24). A semi-cylindrical stationary convex top (6) is secured to the container base (4) so that the stationary convex top (6) partially covers the hollow interior compartment (24) to define an access opening (12) which is sized to allow a pet to pass readily therethrough. A semi-cylindrical convex lid (10) is rotatably connected to the container base (4), and the rotatable convex lid (10) is sized to completely cover the access opening (12), when rotatable convex lid (10) is in a closed position, and, when the rotatable convex lid (10) is moved to a second, open position, to allow access to the interior compartment (24).
