[mom of 3 dogs]

i've carried 2 dogs in a carrier. the dogs total up to be around 14 pounds and it is very heavy to carry that much for any length of time. i bought the largest size pettote carrier. there is ventilation on both sides and alos on the top. the carrier is made beautifully, they are pretty expensive though but worth it.
i also have a doggy stroller and those are wonderful. i dont use it that much but have used it and the style i have you can zip them in and they will still be well ventilated and most people dont even notice there are dogs in there, they think you have a baby in it
