Dog Carriers & Travel

There are several styles, materials and sizes of dog carriers to choose from. Make sure your carrier is made of strong, easy to clean materials. If you intend to take your dog on an aeroplane it must meet the airlines compliance standards (we stock IATA approved carriers). If you are going on a long journey you may wish to include food/water for your dog, and it is possible to get special spill resistant clip dishes in our shop for this purpose. It should have a secure fastening mechanism, and should be large enough to accommodate your pet for the journey in comfort.

Our top tips for getting your dog used to their carrier: It can be immensely stressful for a dog, having never seen a carrier to be shoved in it and packaged into the car for the holidays. We suggest that you buy the carrier well in advance and encourage the dog to get used to it (eg by putting treats or toys inside while it is in the house and letting him/her sleep inside)
