Large Dog Carriers
Large dog carriers are designed to safely and comfortably transport large breed dogs. Large breeds are not only bigger, but more powerful, too, which means carriers for large dogs must be stronger in addition to being larger in size. The best large dog carriers combine reinforced structure, adequate ventilation, and enough interior space to allow natural movement and rest during travel. Commonly used for car trips, vet visits, crating, travel to dog shows, and airline travel, they help keep pups safe and protect against escapes.
Chewy's selection of large dog carriers includes structured soft-sided carriers, plastic hard-sided carriers, heavy-duty metal carriers, airline-approved carriers, and kennels on wheels. Ideal for dogs such as Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Boxers, German shepherds, border collies, and similar large breeds, they provide the room and support pups need for safe transport. Choosing the right large dog carrier will depend on your dog's weight, body length, and mode of travel as well as how often the carrier will be used. Here are some things to consider when shopping for large dog carriers:
-
Breed size and body dimensions: Make sure to get a carrier large enough that your dog can stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
-
Weight capacity and support: Weight ratings matter, too, so check that any carrier can handle dogs in your pup's weight range.
-
Carrier structure: Hard-sided designs offer more impact resistance and protection than soft carriers, which can be important for car and air travel.
-
Ventilation and visibility: Mesh panels support good airflow and help reduce travel stress by allowing dogs to see out.
-
Wheels: A large dog carrier with wheels can make transport easier, especially if the carrier is difficult to lift when your dog is inside.
Large breed dog carriers help make taking your pup places safer and more manageable, and they are often required for things like airline travel and holding at dog shows. Chewy has an excellent selection of large carriers for all needs and breeds, so it's easy to find the perfect one for your furry friend.
Frequently Asked Questions about Large Dog Carriers
Which dogs need large dog carriers?
Large dog carriers are intended for large breeds such as Labradors, golden retrievers, boxers, pit bulls, German shepherds, border collies, and others who weigh over 50 pounds. However, dog carrier sizes vary widely, so be sure to measure your pup and consult the carrier size chart to find the perfect one.
Are large dog carriers safe for everyday use?
Large dog carriers can be safe for regular use when properly sized and constructed, but they are not really intended for everyday use. Large dog carriers are commonly used for travel, vet visits, or temporary containment rather than as long-term housing, but some styles may be suitable for daily crating. Talk to your vet or trainer for advice on proper travel carrier and crate use and make sure not to leave your dog in any kennel for too long.
Can large dog carriers be used for car travel?
Yes, many large dog carriers can be used for car travel. Just be sure to get the right kind for your needs and secure it properly. Some large-breed crates are made specifically for car and SUV transport, and some are even crash-tested for safety.
