Instructions

Choose a dog carrier based on your dog’s size, activity level, and travel style. Always check the weight rating and ensure your dog can sit or lie comfortably inside. Let them explore the carrier at home before use and secure it safely during transport.

If you’re planning air travel, ensure your airline approved dog carrier meets your carrier’s specifications - many of our carriers are compliant. For car trips, secure your dog car carrier with a seatbelt or tether where possible.

FAQs About Dog Carriers

What size dog fits in a backpack or sling carrier?

Most dog carrier backpacks and slings are suitable for dogs under 10kg. Always check the weight limit and dimensions before purchase.

Can I use a dog carrier for a bike?

Yes! Dog carriers for bikes are designed to mount to the front or rear of your bicycle, providing a safe, padded spot for your pet while you ride.

Are these dog carriers airline approved?

Some of our dog carriers are airline approved. Look for “airline approved” in the product name or description and check with your airline before flying.

What’s the safest carrier for nervous dogs?

Soft-sided, enclosed carriers with mesh windows offer the most comfort and security. Many nervous pets prefer dog sling carriers or backpack carriers close to your body.

How do I clean a dog carrier?

Most dog carriers come with removable, washable liners. Check the label for care instructions — soft carriers usually wipe clean or have machine-washable inserts.
