The dog owners often find commuting with the pets very problematic. If you are in a hurry then it is better to carry him or her in a carrier rather than strolling. Normally the carriers are bought when the owners have small species in their home. The big boys are better on their feet rather than on your back as it might cause back pain.
Choosing the right carrier
When your dog likes to travel the world like you do then you need a carrier for a better journey. Sometimes, the roads and busy places are quite overwhelming for the pawed friend. This is why it is necessary to own a perfect dog carrier for your best friend. Choosing a carrier is not that difficult but there are certain factors that need to be taken care of.
Measurement
The first thing that every dog owners do is to measure the pet. Previously the carriers were very bulky and were available in the form of crates but now they are found in various designs. Some of the designs are even wearable.
The pet must be measured properly. First the height from the shoulder must be accounted carefully. There are mainly two types of carriers, one which rests on your body and the other that maintains its own shape. The backpacks, bags, and slings are the ones that will use your body to gain support. This type of designs must have 2 to 3 inches extra room for the shoulders of the pets. The wearable designs are the best for the medium to small sized dogs where they can snug easily and be comfortable throughout the journey. The carriers with hard framework must have 3 to 5 inches clearance for the shoulders so that the dog does not feel congested or hurt itself while traveling.
Types of designs
Apart from the standard carriers that provide a had framework, there are many designs available where the dogs will feel very comfortable due to the materials used and formats adopted to make them.
