Our dog carriers in particular come as trendy pet carriers, stylish designer pet carriers and budget friendly carriers for those watching wallets. Sometimes it's a matter of splurging if you are embarking on airline travel with your pet, or a handy tote for a trip to the park. Regardless of your pet carrying pleasure, there are a number of features one should consider depending on ones needs. Sometimes it's for color, while other times it's a matter of superior ventilation or extra padding. Here are some features for your pet carrier that you may want to consider:
Removeable padded bottoms
Elasticized safety colloar
Weight (a lightweight pet carrier is best especially for long trips or airline travel)
Side mesh panelling (for ventilation)
Top flap closure (keeping an agitated pet inside)
Padding (for softness and comfort)
Straps (consider for your pet's back support as well as your own)
Travelling with your Dog
A dog carrier or crate is an important consideration whether you decide to take your dog on a short trip in the car or travel by plane. Whether the dog is excited or just plain scared, travelling without some safety restraint for you dog is tantamount to inviting danger. Crates help certain dogs feel secure in a confined space if they are feeling unsettled being away from their familiar environment. A good dog carrier can act as a safety restraint. A good size is one that allows the dog some movement, but not so much space that the dog is rolling around. For airline travel, you should check the airline for specific requirements they might have for a dog carrier. The good thing is that more airlines are now familiar and accepting of pet travel. Minimally, most will require a health certificate prior to flight. Remember to keep your dog carrier and your pet properly labelled in the unfortunate event that you are parted.
