Frequently Asked Questions and Answers:

Q1. Will pet carriers choke my dogs?

Ans: If you buy the right size and design that offers enough room for your pet, the carrier will not pose any harm. On the other hand, it will keep you safe from bumpy roads, unhygienic places and reduce the risk of infections. You can also use them to carry your pets on flights and long distances comfortably.

Q2. Do dogs feel comfortable in dog carriers?

Ans: Not all dogs feel excited or jubilant in a dog carrier from the word “go”. Some dogs can get pretty nervous and will take time to get used to their new ‘dens’. So, have patience and coax your pet with a warm blanket or some nice treats inside. Carry him around in the house first to understand the behavior. Once he is good, you can start taking him outside.

Q3. Are backpack dog carriers safe for dogs?

Ans: Yes! Backpack carriers are quite safe for dogs and do not pose any risks. The bags offer good support to the dog and do not strain his limbs or abdomen. However, you must be sure to get the right size that wraps around your dog well. It must neither be too tight nor too lose, lest your dog can slip out of it!

Q4. Is there a standard size of dog carriers?

Ans: No! Just like different dog breeds some in different sizes, carriers also come in various dimensions. You must measure your pet and choose a carrier accordingly. For crates and soft-sided carriers, the cabin size should be atleast 2-5 inches bigger than your pet size.
