One time when my very large boy couldnt get up we carried him down the stairs in the bottom of the vari-kennel. He seemed pretty comfortable in it. It has a sturdy bottom so he felt like somehting solid was under him. We just slid it into the back of the car and carried him right into the vets office with it too. We also used a blanket another time just grabbing up at the corners but he wasnt as confident with that. Cheryl TRapani
