Pet carriers for today's pet friendly boom in pet travel.  Buy a unique, serviceable pet carrier for your pet transportation requirements.

Pet carriers are a necessity for all forms of pet transportation.  Whether you are taking a trip to the beach or to some exotic place for a pet friendly vacation, you should have a pet carrier to insure your pets needs are met as you tote your pet with you on your pet friendly vacation.

Designer pet carriers and budget pet carrier bags.  Whatever you need in a pet carrier.

Designer pet carriers or budget pet carrier bags come in all sizes, colors, fabrics and designs.  However, there are some basic features all pet carriers should have to keep your pet secure and comfortable no matter how long the trip.  All pet travel carriers should have these basic features:

• Proper padding for softness and comfort

• Proper side mesh paneling for proper ventilation

• A safety collar that is elasticized for ease, comfort and quick removal

• Bottoms that are padded for comfort, but removable for cleaning

• A top flap closure to keep an agitated pet inside feeling more secure

• Straps for the pet's back support as well as your own

• Light weight, especially for long trips or airline travel

• Size of pet carriers needed is determined by you after taking the pet's measurements. 

Following is a general guide for measuring your pet:

• Have your pet stand.

• Measure the backbone from the base (where collar sits) of the neck to the START of the tail.

• Measure around the chest, one-half inch behind the front legs at the thickest part of the chest.

Pet carriers for pet air travel will need approval of the individual airlines.  There are different requirements for a pet carrier to be used inside the cabin or as cargo and for hard and soft carriers.  Some require soft-sided pet carriers that are water repellent and have padded nylon with mesh ventilation on two or more sides.  Your pet friendly travel plans are your responsibility.  Take every precaution to insure the safety and comfort of your pet.
