Pet Carriers

Having a pet carrier is an essential if you have a cat or a small dog and is guarantee to prove very useful in quite a few situations. For cats, pet carriers are a necessity when traveling and for the waiting room at the vet and will help add to your cat’s sense of security when exposed to new circumstances. For small dogs, having a small crate or carrier can provide safety and comfort for your dog in different situations and will make your life a lot easier at the same time!

Dogs should always be restrained while riding in the car. While larger dogs have specially designed harnesses which act as seatbelts, small breeds should be confined to a crate or carrier to protect from injury in case of an accident. Having your dog confined will also allow you to drive undistracted. Some pet carriers are designed especially for travel and may have features which allow you to secure it snugly to the seat of your car or truck. Also, think of your dog’s comfort and supply a cushion and blanket and perhaps a toy or stuffed animal. Raw hides and other edible chew toys should never be given to your dog while traveling in case of potential choking hazard. If you will be separated from your pal for any length of time, place a worn t-shirt or garment in the crate with them so they may have your scent with them as a solace.

Carriers can also come in handy if bringing your dog along on visits with friends. Having a familiar “safe” place to retreat if there is too much excitement or if your dog becomes frightened really acts as a comfort. Additionally, if you feel your dog is becoming too over stimulated you can place him in his crate and let him take a nap while you continue with your visit. Many small dogs really do not mind being confined to their crate and actually derive a sense of security and protection while being able to experience something new.
