Who Needs a Dog Carrier?
Dog
Carriers are perfect for owners of smaller breeds like the Shih Tzu, Poodle,
Silky Terrier and Dachshund. They allow the owners to carry their pet to
appointments, secure them in moving vehicles, and create a comfortable place for
the dog to rest on long trips.
Traveling by Car
Dog Carriers make traveling by car with your small breed dog simple and headache-free. Let your dog get accustomed to the carrier gradually before you leave the house and he will have an easier time thinking of it as his den away from home. It can be used as a safe place for him on the car ride, carrying him to and from appointments and it makes a nice place for him to sleep on overnight adventures. It can also keep your dog from getting into mischief in unfamiliar territory.
Traveling by Plane
More and more people are choosing to bring their beloved dogs on long distance trips with them. Airlines and hotels are cooperative to an extent. It's a good idea to call ahead of time to make sure there is a spot reserved for your dog on the plane. Also be sure to purchase an air cargo carrier for your dog that is approved for airline travel. This will save time and frustration when traveling long distances with your pet. When booking your hotel, clarify the hotel's restrictions and get approval in writing that dogs are allowed.
