Read About Choosing Dog Travel Carriers

Dog travel carriers can offer your pet comfort during the stress of traveling.

Things to consider: Your dog's age, your dog's size, and food & water needs while traveling.

  • Happy Place - Carriers are especially suitable dog travel accessories for small dogs, anxious or shy dogs, and senior dogs. Just like dog kennels, houses and crates, carriers are den-like, and provide a dog a comforting sense of familiarity and security.

  • Food & Water - Although having your dog travel on an empty stomach may be an excellent idea in that it can prevent car sickness, never let your dog travel without plenty of fresh water readily available for her to drink during the drive. If your dogs ride in carriers, this is easy to do as you can secure water bottles or dishes to the carriers.

  • Secure Equipment - Using carriers when you and your dog travel is only as safe as the carriers are secure. Whether you secure them by moving the front seat back enough to wedge it in or you use seat belts or some other form of restraints, make sure you secure your carriers.
