Your dog thinks he's coming. He is always under the impression that he's coming.
Keys in your hand and he's at the door. You say "be right back" and he looks at you like you've betrayed him personally. Small dogs are worse about this than big ones — they were bred to be lap dogs, and a lap dog left at home is a lap dog with nothing to do but wait.
So bring him. His head comes through the soft opening in the front, the plush costume sits underneath, and he rides at your hip watching the whole world go by. Hands free, dog happy, errands done.
He can actually see
Most carriers are zipped shells with a mesh panel. Your dog spends the trip pressed against a screen trying to find you. This one is open at the front, so he's got a clear view and your shoulder right there. Vet trips stop being a fight. Coffee runs become a walk you take together.
Nothing tightens around his neck
The opening is soft fabric and gives with him. He can pull his head back in to settle down, then push it out again when something interesting happens. He's never strapped into anything — that's his call the whole way.
Fair warning about strangers
A Maltese dressed as a bumblebee on a sidewalk is not a low-profile look. People will stop. Someone will ask where you got it. You will have the same conversation four times before you reach the end of the block. Plan your schedule accordingly.
Made for real dogs
Claw-resistant polyester, machine washable, single wide shoulder strap so the weight sits on your hip rather than cutting into your neck. Both hands stay free for the leash, the coffee, and the door.
Six designs
Yellow bee, grey dinosaur, pink pig, blue bunny, pink bunny, white burger. The burger gets the most attention.
Sized for small breeds
17.3" x 17.3" — Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Maltese, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, mini Dachshunds, toy Poodles, Papillons, and puppies of larger breeds.
Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. If he's much longer than 15 inches, he's too big for this bag and you'd be doing him no favors.
The first few minutes
Put it on the floor with a treat inside and let him get in on his own. Dogs take to this faster than cats do, but a bag he chose to enter is a bag he'll stay calm in.
