A dog carrier is an item that should be comfortable not only for you, but also for your pet. Therefore, once you have decided on the shape, design and materials of the bag, proceed to checking the quality and strength. But how to do it correctly?
Fabric bags
These carry bags are usually designed for winter or short walks with dwarf dogs. Textile carriers can be decorative and more like a handbag. For long trips, such a carrying is inconvenient - it is too small, and there is no need to talk about the comfort of the animal here.
Winter or demi-season fabric carriers are made of dense multi-layer material with insulation and moisture protection. In such a bag, your pet will be warm and comfortable even in the most severe frost. When choosing fabric carriers, pay attention to the quality of the material, the main criterion is the possibility of easy washing and durability.
Also make sure that the product is strong: the handles should be well sewn to the base, all fasteners and carabiners should be well attached and not cut through the fabric, and the bottom should have an additional layer for greater strength and warmth. If you are choosing a carrier bag specifically for the winter, make sure that the material really keeps you warm and protects your dog from the cold.
Convenience and comfort
Each carry bag is selected according to the size of the dog. The animal should be able to lie down freely and curl up inside. However, it is also not worth buying a container or bag that is too spacious. If your dog dangles and rolls inside, the move will be a real challenge for him.
If your dog weighs more than four to five kilograms, carrying it over long distances in your arms will be very uncomfortable. Today there are special containers with wheels for transporting large dogs. The design resembles a travel suitcase, but, like any carrier, is equipped with a viewing window and an entrance door. Such a carrying allows you to significantly facilitate the travel procedure for both the owner and the dog.
Size matters
In some cases, simple calculations of the size of your pet for carrying may not be enough. For example, if you are traveling by plane, your dog container must meet certain airline standards. You can clarify whether a particular carrier is suitable for these purposes with the store sellers, or it is better to find out in advance the exact parameters on the carrier's website.
