Dog carriers allow pet owners to keep their small dogs close at hand. When navigating through crowds, a leash can be a hindrance and the dog could get stepped on. A carrier keeps small dogs off the ground where they are safe.
Pet carriers are a safe and clean way to transport dogs to vet appointments. Instead of letting pets run around free, annoying the other animals in the waiting room, they remain secure and tidy in a pet carrier. Vet’s like dog carriers because patients don’t make messes in the waiting room floor and all pets are safely tucked away. Dog carriers are generally used for dogs that are twenty-five pounds and under.
Traditional dog carriers were like cumbersome plastic cages or dogs were carried in tote bags that doubled as dog carriers.
