When purchasing a carrier it not only needs to be comfortable but to to fit the animal’s size as well. When such a carrier is found if one makes the dog familiar with it but putting them in it from time to time there will be no problem when the need to transport occurs. These carriers are excellent when taking an airplane trip. Some airlines now allow one to take their pet on board to the regular passenger section if the carrier is small and can be securely placed under the seat of the passenger sitting in front. Some of the very small dogs can even be in a carrier similar to a tote. Checking the animal and carrier as a carry-on is allowed by some airlines providing the carrier is approved. If transporting a large animal they are checked in as luggage and are carried in the plane’s cargo department.

One of the excellent carriers on the market today, for one who likes to carry their small dog with them, is one that has padded straps which fit over the shoulders. The animal is carried in a small pouch, which rests on the front of the body. This allows one to have their hands free and not worry about their pet running about. Taking special care regarding the safety and comfort of the pet, some are constructed with steel framing, canvas covering, extra padding and other comfort features. This type of carrier can be set up or taken down without a great deal of effort and can easily be stored.
