Keeping your pet safe is your number one concern.  A pet carrier is a great way to keep your pet safe.

Pet carriers are used by numerous responsible dog owners  to safely contain and carry their pets. They are offered for any size dog.

Historically, wild dogs slept in small dens – shallow holes they dug in the ground where they felt secure  from predators. These were small, dark places, just big enough to turn around in and to lie down comfortably. A “dog carrier” is just a modern version of the ages old den. It’s merely a dog house within a people house. Just as you take pleasure in having your own room where you can go for peace and privacy, your dog will too.  As well as giving him a secure, cozy place to retreat to.

 Furthermore, traveling is safer for both you and your dog when he or she is in a carrier.  Pet carriers offer a versatile way to travel with your pet.

Many eye catching designs and styles are seen today in pet carriers that are available for pet travel.  Ultra-hip, Classic styles, light weight and functional styles, pet carriers  are available in popular quilted & metallic trends. There are dog carriers out there that are available with features such as a mesh side door that rolls up to give your pet an open-air view.  

One important thing to note though, pet carriers in general,  cannot be returned for sanitary reasons, so if the original product packaging has been opened or the carrier has been used, it cannot be returned. Make a wise choose. Do your homework and take time to  research to make the right choice for your dog.

Some things to note when traveling with your best companion , you must obtain a current health  certificate (issued 7-10 days before you travel) showing that all inoculations are up to date and indicating that your dog is healthy for travel. Your dog must remain in the carrier from the time you enter the departure terminal to the time you leave the destination terminal. By no means leave your dog alone in a bag that is zipped up. To decrease the possibility of airsickness, do not feed your dog within 6 hours of departure and withhold water within two hours of flight time. In doing research, I know that Sherpa dog carriers have received approval from airline companies for bags to carry pets on-board.
