Tips about Choosing Proper Pet Carrier

Sometimes, you want to or have to travel with your pet, at this time, a proper pet carrier bag become necessary. Pet carriers come in several shapes and sizes, pet carriers for the tiny toy dog, pet carriers for taking a puppy of the larger breeds on the plane with you, and pet carriers for the small breeds. We will be happy to advise you on the type of pet carrier that will meet your needs, and can also give you advice on training your pet using one of our versatile dog crates or pet carriers. Do you know how to choose the proper pet carrier? Following are some factors that you should take into consideration when choosing a pet carrier bag.

If you do much walking with your pet, you may want a back-pack dog carrier that will convert to a wheeled dog carrier for those long strolls. When you are on grass, your dog can be in his dog carrier back-pack, when you get to sidewalks, convert to a dog carrier convertible stroller.

Learn Your Relationship and Preference. Pets have personality too - some are timid and shy and some are fearless, but all love our attention. Likewise, we develop different degrees of attachment to our pets. Do you need a carrier for transporting your pet to and from the vet's office only or are you looking for one that you can take your 'sidekick' to many places including restaurant and opera house? It matters because for an average size pet that weighs 6 to 12 lb., you may want a design that offers more than one carrying methods. Are you looking for a fashionable design that announces your pet's presence or a discreet design with which no one knows you have a pet? Will your partner share the responsibility of carrying the pet? If so, his or her opinion also counts.

I would like to suggest you to choose the pet carrier bag with the following features:

Zipper with locking device - This is perhaps the most important feature. Look for this locking

device on the zipper so that the zipper can only be open from the outside by lifting the zipper puller and the connected safety pin. Therefore, your small pet cannot force there way out from the inside.

A sturdy structure with good support - Have the carrier set up, put in some items(say cans of treats) that weigh similar to your pet's full grown weigh and try it on your body with the various carrying methods. The shape of the carrier should hold up reasonably well. Some degree of compression is acceptable but the carrier should not collapse particularly in the mid section. The carrier should be leveled to the ground and not be tilted. It should also has a base support hard enough to hold your pet and would not sag. Make sure the strap is comfortable to you and the total weight is manageable.

Use of hygienic material - Whether it is hair, crumbs from the treats or dirts trapped in your pet's paws, you will need to clean the carrier from time to time. In addition, most pets are still in training when they first use a carrier. Accidents do happen and a design with features (such as our floor tray) that can temporarily hold the liquid is desirable. Please check the base support. It should be made of hygienic materials for frequent cleaning. Wooden board wrapped inside lining is a bad idea.
