| Sling Suggestions Hello, just wondering if anyone uses or have used a dog sling. If so, what kind have you bought and why. I'm in the market for one, and there are 100's out there, and some look like it would be uncomfortable for the dog and you. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!

| I'd like to get a doggy sling too - one that will leave my hands free. Anyone?

| I have way too many carriers. I have a black Outward Hound sling I would be willing to sell.

| I used the Kari-pet Carrier when Tarra had surgery and couldn't walk around for 9 weeks, it worked out pretty well, but you have to know Tarra, well lets just say the breeder I got her from named her well and I didn't change it

| I agree that a lot of them look very uncomfortable. I've thought about trying to make one with a nice loose elastic or drawstring opening, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I just don't want the "maternity" look that the front carriers seem to produce! |

| We have the Outward Hound Sling and I love it. We use it so Chewy can go with us on the morotcycle. He loves it! It's almost like he's sitting in my lap. I put it over my opposite shoulder so I don't have to worry about losing him. It has two clips, I can hook one to his harness and as an extra precaution one to his collar along with a strap that goes over his back. I feel very secure while he's in it, I know he can't jump out and he loves putting his paws over the edge and catching wind in his face! People are always pointing to him and smiling. I can rest on the bike with him just resting on my leg. They don't hardly weigh anything. I got it on sale at Petco for about $20 including tax.

| I have a tote made for dogs that has screening on the sides. I myself would be afraid to use a sling because if I fall forward I would crush the poor little dogs. I see people carrying their babies like that and it gives me the shivers. You could probably use a baby sling.
