Soft Dog Carrier For Giant Havanese? Would Like Info On The Size Of Your (large) Dog And What Carrier You Use.
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
My dog is a Havanese, albeit quite a big one. From tail to butt he is about 17″ and from his shoulders down he stands about 13″ tall. His total length is 23″ (from nose to butt in a laying down) and when he sits he is about 17″ tall from the top of his head to the ground. He weighs 18 pounds. I am trying to find a soft carrier that can be used on the plane but mostly for other traveling purposes (train, car, etc.) but am having trouble understanding what bags my dog will fit in. The smaller the better but I want him to be comfy. have found a larger sized carriers, including Celltei’s Pak-o-Pet(http://www.celltei.com/accafpa.html), Jet Set Dogbag (http://www.sitstay.com/store/equip/shpa1.shtml), and Sturdibag (although this doesn’t look as sturdy as the other bags to me). I am aware of airline regulations – what I am most interested in knowing is the size/weight of your dog, what brand of carrier you use and its size, and your experience with that type of carrier. Thank you very much

Most large pet stores like PetCo and PetSmart allow you to bring your dog in the store. It would make secection alot easier if your dog can actually try it out first.

Sherpa-bags seem to be the bag-of-choice for those who *know*.
