Anyone ever used a PuppyPurse? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

poosdarling · 04-28-2008, 11:03 AM

I've been looking at puppy purses lately. They seem like a very comfy bag for me and Milo. I have the LV one but none of my stuff fits inside and I'm not going to carry 2 LV bags when I go shopping. Plus it's ridiculousy heavy after a while.

So I'm looking at puppypurse.com ... and they seem pretty cool to me. Any opinions or takes?

TIA!

I don't know. They look uncomfortable for the dog. Think if you'd want to dangle all day in the air while your owner shops. Just my .02.
I think there are a lot of other carriers out there that would work well for you. Some have pockets on the outside so if you need to carry cash, treats, credit cards etc. Elaine

Yes!!!! This is the best carrier/purse ever....strickly my opinion but my pup loves it and it allows me to carry all my crap with me too. It's a bit pricey but well worth it.

Alex Bag

Are you talking about the alexbag?

Or this one ....

Oh. Nope, I totally misunderstood. You are talking about the actual dog being a purse. I have not used one of those. Sorry for the confusion. The Alex Bag is great though.

I too really like the carrier/purse type. I have a Alex Bag and Katie doesn't like it. I really don't either. She was in it for maybe 10 minutes and we have never used it again.

i started a thread about this product a little while ago... got a lot of negative opinions... not from people who own it, just what people think about it from the pictures...

to say the least, i didn't buy it... but maybe it's a great product... here's the thread:

when your yorkie is literally a purse...

I had one of these made for each of my dogs, so they were $25 instead of $70. They have short straps and long straps, so sometimes I carry them both under one arm, and sometimes I sling them across my chest just above my hip. Tina loves it because she is fully supported and close to her momma. Tbone is ok with it but would rather be walking on the ground, so he doesn't stay in it as much as Tina. But neither of them like being in enclosed bags, and they like to watch what is going on. So it has been a great product for me, especially when we are running errands and I don't want them both on a leash running in opposite directions. And when I set them down in the purse, they will walk around as if they are just wearing some clothes. Mine are made of light material and are very sturdy, and I advocate them if your dog likes to be part of the action.

I'm gonna double post this on the other thread about puppy purses.
