Planning to take your furry friend with you on your next
vacation? Don't forget to add one of the best pet carriers to your list
of travel essentials.
These are key for keeping your pet comfortable and safe during any journey.
Plus, the best kinds can fit right underneath the seat in front of you when
you're flying.
When shopping, it's important to âselect the version that
suits your pet's size, temperament, and travel needs," advises Zay Satchu,
DVM, chief veterinary officer and cofounder of Bond Vet.
Similar to traditional
luggage, pet carriers come in both soft and hard-sided options.
"Often made of flexible nylon, soft pet carriers are ideal for smaller
pets and offer a cozy, nest-like environment. "On the
other hand, hard-sided plastic carriers provide extra protection and are ideal
for larger or more active pets," she says.
No matter which style you choose, however, your pet should
"always have enough space to stand, turn around, and lie down
comfortably.Â

EliteField Soft-Sided Airline-Approved Dog & Cat Carrier Bag
This pet carrier weighs just over 2 pounds and is the most lightweight soft-sided option on this list. It also comes with removable and machine-washable bedding and has a back sleeve that attaches to your suitcase, as well as loops that latch onto your car's seat belt system. The polyester and synthetic build is water-resistant and available in six colors to fit your style.
Wild One Everyday Carrier
If you're looking for a tote to carry your dog around town
or on the train, consider this Wild One carrier. This Select staff-favorite
option has a small dip in its design, which allows your dog to peek their head
out while you carry them around. It also includes a safety clip that attaches
to your dog's harness, which ensures your dog is secure and won't jump out at a
bad time. It also comes with carrying straps of two different lengths one
length to carry it like a shoulder bag, and shorter straps to carry it by hand.
There is a machine washable mat on the inside and three exterior pockets to
hold all your pet's essentials like bags, treats, and toys.
Loobani Pet Carrier with Wheels
 After a long day of
travel, all we can think about is kicking back and relaxing. We love this
carrier for that very reason: It has an expandable feature on the front and
back that enables pets to lie down or stand up and stretch. Also, the wheels
are detachable!
Love this carrier! needed something that would slide
under an airplane seat with a height of about nine inches. This fit perfectly.
My puppy could see me through it. The carrier separates from the wheels, which
makes it convenient to put the wheels in the overhead bin. And when I got to my
destination, I opened up the 'wings' on either side for sleeping. Love
it!"
MidWest Duffy Dog & Cat Carrier
This Midwest Duffy carrier is recommended by Karwacki
because it's expandable the mesh sides open up to give your pet more room to
move around and stretch their legs. It has two zippered side openings, as well
as one on top to make it easier to take your dog in and out of the carrier,
according to the brand. It also folds completely flat, so you can store it away
when it's not in use. It comes in three colors and sizes small, medium, and
large.
Designed for small dogs up to 10 pounds, this sling carrier
crosses over your body so you can take your dog around town hands-free. The
base has a built-in drawstring that adjusts the size of the opening to fit
different-sized dogs, and the crossbody strap length is also adjustable to fit
your comfort level. The carrier includes a safety buckle inside that connects
to your dog's harness to prevent them from falling out, according to the brand.
I purchased this carrier for my havachon, Bella, when she was a puppy weighing
under 10 pounds, and I was able to comfortably carry her around when she got
tired of walking. It held her weight well without tearing or damaging the
fabric, and the crossbody strap caused less strain on my back.
Sherpa Deluxe Airline Approved Pet Carrier
Another Best for Your Pet award winner, this Sherpa carrier is a favorite of CPS founder Lindsey Wolko, who has used it for years to travel with her pets. She specifically recommends it for traveling on the plane because it fits under the passenger seat (it meets the dimensions for most airlines, but always check your specific airline requirements before traveling) and has a large zip pocket to store pet supplies like water bowls, leashes, and treats. However, it's not the best pick for car travel because you can't strap it in using your vehicle's seat belt system You're better off placing it on the floor behind the driver's seat for safety and to avoid the stitching or zippers to fail.
Apollo Walker Pet Carrier Backpack
This highly rated backpack carrier, which earned a 4.6-star
average rating from over 4,500 reviews on Amazon, has shoulder straps and two
separate straps that buckle around your sternum and waist to help evenly
distribute the weight of your pet, according to the brand. It has mesh panels
on all sides to let your pet see out and comes with removable fleece bedding to
keep them comfortable while creating a sturdy base that can hold their weight. It also comes with a clip that attaches to your pet's
harness to prevent them from escaping or falling out.Â
