Introducing a designer dog carrier

It is not at all uncommon for animal lovers to travel with their favorite pets; most of them, in fact, are well versed on the ins and outs of animal travel. But if all you know about pet travel is the colors your designer dog carrier comes in, read some of the articles on our site for dozens of helpful tips. Even the most comfortable designer pet carriers like the ones at A Pet's World won't soothe a distressed animal that is not used to traveling in one. If you are a new owner or simply have a new animal you are not yet familiar with, it also helps to know some of the signs of travel distress in a canine and how to address them.

Barking or clawing at your arms as you attempt to place a canine in the tote or kennel is a big, obvious clue. Other more subtle signs may include salivating heavily, standing face first in a corner, panting and sometimes rolling his eyes. He may even whine or growl at the mere presence of the designer dog carrier.

Even if your canine is displaying some of these distress signals, you have hopefully allowed yourself enough time before your trip to acclimate the animal to his travel accommodations. Start by getting him comfortable with the bag or kennel being nearby. When he is no longer bothered by that, use small treats and abundant praise to encourage him to enter it. Even a quick in-and-out is a start. Do this often, and eventually he'll be at ease for longer periods of time.

When safety is a must, and a great looking travel accessory is a nice bonus, you can't go wrong with an expertly crafted selection from A Pet's World. Our tony designer pet carriers were designed with the comfort and safety of your pet - and, yes, you - foremost in our minds.
