| Best Carrier/Purse What is the best dog carrier/purse? I have looked online but I am still not sure. I don't want to spend a fortune. I want something sturdy and not too trendy so it won't go out of "style". I have a boy dog, so something neutral in color. The breeder said he should be 5 lbs grown. He is 17 weeks now but I would like to get a carrier as soon as possible to get him use to it. Thanks! |

| I have this one: Bergan Comfort Carrier - Carriers - Cat - PetSmart I used the small one until Duke turned 2 years old. He's about 7-8lbs now. I have the black one. It's not fancy, I use it to travel on the train and car and around town. I like it. The only thing it doesn't have is the hook to hook him in while he's in the bag. I don't need it because Duke is not a dog that I can allow him to peak his head out while in the bag so this works for me. I hope this helps. These bags only come in Small or Large. Good luck. Tam and Duke

| We have this one. I purchased it for Ally at 3 months from PetCo for a long trip. She will be two years at the end of the month and still loves it. Top zips and front zips. I think Ally is about 5.5 months old in this picture. |

| Thank y'all! I like both of those choices I will have to look at petsmart and petco. I want one that can be hooked to a harness because I'm not sure I trust my little guy to not jump |

| I got my bag from ebay...lol. It's a pink and chocolate juicy couture bag that I paid 40 for. Some person bought it and their pup outgrew it in a month... So I benefitted from that :-). They have some cute stuff on e-bay. Best of luck :-) |

| I agree, that's why when Duke is in his bag, he is in there, no peeking out if you want yours to peak out, then definitely get the one with the hook.

| I have two large Kwigy Bo Alex bags and I love them. I carry both pups in one for short trips.

| Bag We also have the Alex bag, LOVE it! Use it all the time and don't need to carry another purse or bag cause of all of the extra pouches that can be closed on the side for my stuff, well worth the $$, even though I didn't pay full price for mine. It's the black paten leather one looks just like everybodies big purse w/silver trim.

| Hm my mom bought me a cheapo at Petco (she paid like $40 maybe)...it looks almost exactly like the Coach I purchased a month later, for ugh (embarrassing) a couple hundred more! I actually have been thinking about these dog strollers with carriers-I figure it's multi functional and large...plus "eBay rule" I just found my car seat harness seat belt attachments there for less than $12 when I paid $30 at a local pet boutique! PET TREX 3 IN 1 STROLLER CARRIER CAR SEAT DOG is really neat and there's tons listed for super cheap right now! Last edited by concretegurl; 12-09-2010 at 12:21 AM. |

| Here's the one I found. It's not expensive, but well made. Shadow loves it and you can close the top/side for warmth or to travel "incognito". I like that is has two outside pockets for my phone, wallet, keys, whatever. This of course is just for carting her around. It wouldn't be considered safe for travel, etc. http://www.dogdug.com/product_info.php?cPath=106&products_id=1029&osCsid =5550631a1ffc452a463d758c13e8dc34 |

| I know none of my dogs need a stroller, yet but I was thinking this is so cheap on eBay and you never know when you might need one so it'd be super handy to have such a multifunctional thingy...let me know if you get one and how it works I've got it on my list of January items... |
