Small dog carriers become a must in our on-the-go society. Dogs are an increasing part of our lives, and keeping them at home is becoming more and more out of the question. Therefore having a way to transport them, when they are with us becomes a more desirable option. There are two basic kinds of small dog carriers. Those carriers approved for use when we fly and those for use while driving and / or walking. The biggest distinction between small dog carriers for the airlines is the carriers are non-collapsible. They also feature stainless steel wire openings for ventilation. Outside of that everything else in an on a small dog carrier is the same.

Some minimum requirements for them is there is room enough for the dog to move around and comfort for the pet when in the carrier. Most small dog carriers will have a center anchored strap which allows the dog to turn around without getting entangled in the strap. If the dog cannot do that, the carrier is too small. The ideal carrier is one where the dog can turn around, if there is more room than that then the carrier is too large and will defeat the reason for the carrier. One needs to keep in mind, dogs are clean animals and will not use the potty in the same space they live. So, get a carrier big enough, but not too big. There is no end to the style. From back pack, stroller, purse, across body tote, and messenger bag (across the chest) totes the dog owners requirements should be satisfied.
