Therefore, the right carrying solution is important for both dog and owner.

Summary : Small dogs do best when they can accompany their owner in a safe, ergonomic and stable transport solution. This reduces stress and increases safety – both during trips and shorter excursions.

Why do you need a safe carrying solution for your dog?

Small dogs can quickly become stressed in new environments – especially if they feel confined or far from their owner. According to veterinarian Sara Molin at Evidensia Animal Care, it is important that dogs being transported are carried in a way that makes them feel safe and has eye contact with their owner:

"Safety for a small dog is largely about proximity and clear visibility. Dogs that see and feel their owner close by are calmer when moving." (evidensia.se)

Transporting in a bag that is not ergonomically designed can also cause physical problems – not only for the dog, but also for you who are carrying it. According to the Swedish Kennel Club, shorter trips with small dogs should be made in transport solutions that are adapted to the body's carrying capacity and the dog's weight (skk.se).

When is a carrier bag better than a cage?

In many everyday situations – such as taking the bus, going to the vet or going for a walk – a traditional carrier can become cumbersome. A well-fitting carrier provides more freedom of movement and proximity, while keeping your hands free. In addition, research from the International Association for Animal Behavior Consultants shows that dogs experience less anxiety when transported close to the body, especially if they also have a view (iaabc.org).

What should a good carry bag have?

Ergonomic design: Relieves back and shoulders during prolonged use.

Adjustable straps: Adapt to the body and size of the dog for maximum comfort.

Good ventilation: Mesh panels that let in air and allow the dog to see its surroundings.

Stable bottom: To prevent the dog from rolling or tipping.

Storage: Side pockets for mobile phone, candy or poop bags.
