I always suggest getting a soft sided carrier so even if it's a little bigger, your dog gets more room and the bag can easily squish down. Dog carriers that look like purses and have extra areas for your stuff are great like the Alex dog carrier by Kwigy-Bo or the Marlee by Petote, the Porsha Dog Carrier by Hello Doggie (amazing newer carrier on the market) or even the Diamond Cut Carrier by JCLA (your dog can see and breathe out from everywhere within the bag but no one can see in, great for sneaking into restaurants while away on your travels!). |
Great tip! I love these bags!
I would like to offer a couple of other travel tips have help us have a more relaxed, less stressful travel day.
My little lady does not like the airport potty areas (she thinks they are gross and refuses to walk on them! LOL!) we typically have to deal with at least one layover so I have started putting on a cute cloth diaper with liner when changing planes. She uses her diaper if she needs to go between flights and as an added bonus looks pretty darn cute
easy clean up.
I feed a mostly raw diet. When traveling I like the dehydrated raw (it is an easy way for me to make sure my little one is getting enough hydration) I put a couple of meals in a small Tupperware add water before leaving for the airport, put Tupperware a 2 quart ziplock baggie then put the Tupperware in a insulated lunch bag. When going through security I always remove baggie with food from lunch bag and place both in its own bin. I have never had any trouble getting the food through the tsa checkpoint. That said I always carry dry food with me (!) just in case I have trouble with security or have travel delays - which unfortunately do happen.
I hope these tips help. If you have to fly with your baby I wish you a stress free and fun trip!
*not sure what happened to the the bright orange tags?!? Maybe they are on the way? I will update in June if we are issued one*
