What are the different types of dog carriers?

The different types of carriers can be divided into four categories: bags, slings, backpacks, and hard-sided carriers. To choose the best carrier for your needs, consider your dog's size and weight, your mode of travel, and the length of time your pup will generally be spending in the carrier.

What features should I look for in a dog carrier?

When shopping for a carrier, look for features that promote your dog's comfort and safety as well as your own ease of use. The carrier should be durably constructed, appropriately sized, well ventilated, and easy to get your pet safely in and out of.

How do I choose the right size dog carrier?

To choose the right size carrier, measure your dog's height and the length of their back, then add a few inches to each measurement. Using these measurements as the dimension of the carrier, it should be big enough for your dog to stand up, turn around, and stretch out in.

What makes a dog carrier airline approved?

What makes a carrier airline approved are its size and construction. While requirements vary between airlines, carriers are generally required to fit under the seat in front of you. Some airlines may also require carriers to be leak-proof, well ventilated, and secured with locking zippers.

Are soft or hard dog carriers better?

Hard carriers are generally better in terms of safety and durability, while soft carriers tend to be more portable, comfortable, and convenient. Which option is better depends on your personal preferences, the type of travel, and your dog's size, weight, and comfort level.

What size dog carrier is airline approved?

To be considered airline approved, a dog carrier must fit under the seat in front of you. Different airlines have different size specifications, but many require pet carriers to be no larger than 18" long x 12" wide x 12" tall.

What is the best way to transport a dog?
