Dog carrier bag in polyester. The rigid base is the deciding factor: without it, the bag folds in on your dog with every step. Also check for ventilation on several sides, and the dimensions your airline or transport operator requires.

Dog carrier bag: train, plane and vet visits

A carrier bag is first and foremost about keeping your dog calm in an enclosed space: on the train, in the vet's waiting room, in a building's lobby. Many airlines and transport operators require one, with precise dimensions that are best checked before you buy.

Real comfort comes down to two things: a rigid base, so your dog isn't swung about in a fabric hammock, and ventilation on several sides. That's how we choose our dog carrier bags.

Size, ventilation and rigid base: what to check

This one is made from polyester. Rectangular, expandable on two sides, 48 × 30 × 31 cm (extends to 80 cm) — your dog must be able to stand up, turn round and lie down: that's the airline rule, and it's also the bare minimum. Check the base: without a rigid panel, the bag folds in on him with every step. For car journeys, a foldable Oxford Fabric Dog Crate will be more stable.

  • Check he can stand up, turn round and lie down: this carrier measures 48 × 30 × 31 cm (extends to 80 cm)
  • Insist on a rigid base, otherwise the dog carrier bag folds in on your dog with every step
  • Check for ventilation on at least two sides — a single window doesn't ventilate anything
  • Check the dimensions your airline requires BEFORE you buy — they vary a lot
  • Clip on the inner safety lead before opening the zip
  • After every trip: wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not machine wash

Getting your dog used to the bag before the first trip

A dog doesn't settle into a bag just because you put them in it. Leave it open in the living room, line it with a familiar blanket, give treats in it. Three to four days is usually enough, and it saves you a disastrous first trip.

Never carry a closed bag in strong heat and never leave it in the sun: the temperature inside rises within minutes. For car journeys, one of our hard-sided crates strapped to the back seat is safer than a bag on the floor.

One check to do before departure day: load the bag with your dog and carry it around at home for five minutes. A bag that feels comfortable empty can become unbearable on the shoulder with seven kilos inside — and that's the kind of thing you discover on a station platform.

FAQ

How do I get my pet used to it?

Leave the bag open in the room for several days before you travel, with a familiar blanket inside. A pet that first meets its bag on the day of the journey will find it stressful.

What is it made of?

Polyester. It's this material mix that sets the care routine: check the specifications for the right way to wash it.

Is there enough ventilation?

The models on offer have openings on several sides. Make sure at least two sides are vented: a single window isn't enough in a car in summer.

Does the colour make any difference?

No: Green, Blue and Orange all share the same dimensions and finish. It's purely a matter of looks.
