What size dog carrier should I get?

Get a dog carrier size large enough that your dog has room to turn around and stretch out to relax. You will also need to get a carrier built to hold your dog’s weight. Measure your dog’s back length and add a few inches to it to get an ideal carrier length. Then, add 2-3 inches to your dog’s shoulder height to calculate the right height for a soft-side carrier, or add 3-5 inches for a hard-sided carrier. Wearable carriers like slings can be more compact than travel carriers, so look for one with a snug, cozy fit that still leaves some room to move.

What do you put in a dog carrier?

Put familiar things in a dog carrier to make your best friend feel at home. A cozy favorite blanket and some toys will help with comfort and distraction on the go, and their familiar smell will help ease travel jitters. Avoid putting food or water in the carrier, as these can spill and make an uncomfortable mess. Incontinent or older dogs may benefit from a puppy pad liner or absorbent bedding, as well.

How long should a dog stay in a carrier?

A dog should stay in a carrier for as little time as is feasible and safe. On long car trips, take your dog out regularly so he can use the bathroom, drink water, stretch his legs, and eat, when necessary. During air travel, your dog will need to stay in the carrier for the duration of the trip, so try to get the shortest flights you can. Many dogs will be fine in a carrier even on longer flights but try not leave your dog in the carrier for longer than you must.

Can I use a dog carrier as a crate?

You can use a dog carrier as a crate. Make sure you choose one that is easy to clean, with durable construction since it will be used frequently. Dogs who chew or rowdy pups may need a wire or hard-sided crate to withstand the extra wear and tear.

What are the best dog carriers?

The best dog carriers will have adequate ventilation, easy entry and sturdy construction to prevent escapes. Hard plastic carriers can provide extra protection during transit, and they are easy to clean and disinfect. Soft-sided carriers can provide more cushioning and comfort and give pups a better grip while on the move. Choose an airline-approved carrier if you intend to use it on flights, or, if you have a smaller dog, pick a backpack or sling carrier style for easy portability around town. You can even find wheeled dog carrier options that make canine transport smooth and easy.
