If you're traveling whether it's by car or by plane, you'll want to make sure that your dog is as comfortable as he or she can be in order to provide him with the most pleasant travel experience possible and to prevent increased levels of stress. Dog carriers are one way that you can give your dog a little privacy and a sense of security when you're traveling to your destination. This privacy and security might give your dog the level of comfort need to reduce levels of stress and make travel more enjoyable for them.

There are a number of different types of dog carriers that you can purchase to make your dog's travel experience more pleasant and less stressful. One of the more popular types of carriers is the soft sided dog carrier. The main reason this carrier is so popular is because of the soft interior environment that they provide for your dog. Often times they have extendable sides which will provide more room for your dog during the trip. The soft sided carriers also come with rollers, handles, and in many cases extendable handles, which make it easier to tote your dog around in airports, bus stops, or wherever it may be that you have to travel.

Another popular type of dog carrier is the dog stroller. This type of carrier is very popular for those who own smaller breeds such as the Chihuahua, Shih Tzu, or any other type of small dog breed. These small breeds typically cannot walk as far and at the same pace as humans so they often times become tired and have to be carried. The stroller is a great way to be able to include your dog in the long distance walking activity, without having to force them to walk the entire time.

Sometimes you require dog carriers that will hold dogs that are a little bigger in size, in which case you would want to consider purchasing plastic carriers, or even metal dog carriers if you need an increased level of sturdiness and security. These types of carriers are often stored in the back of trucks or SUVs and typically will not fit in cars because of their size and bulkiness. There are plastic versions made specifically for cars, but theses generally are made for smaller breeds and not your large breed dogs.

If you're looking to purchase a dog carrier, take a look at the situation for which you need the carrier. If you have a small breed and plan to travel quite often, then the soft sided carrier may be your best bet. If you need to transport your large do on a regular basis, then a heavier duty plastic version may be appropriate. Whatever the case may be, you'll be able to provide your dog with more comfort and security when you travel with dog carriers.
