An animal restraint and carrier is disclosed which comprises a generally rectangular case hinged to permit at least one side to open and an adjoining side having an opening sized to permit an animal enclosed in the case to extend its head and neck. An optional clamping device surrounding the opening may be closed on the neck to restrain the animal's head to facilitate treating or cleaning ears, eyes or teeth and the giving of oral medications. The case is preferably sized such that when closed the animal may stand comfortably, but not turn around within the case. One or more sides of the case may be equipped with hinged openings to permit access to certain areas of an enclosed animal's body--e.g., the back.
