| carrier help I was looking at carriers and I was wondering what the rules you should follow when buying a carrier. Like do they need to be able to stand up all the way and other things that need to be thought about when buying a carrier. Callie is a teapot but I am able to carrie her weight on my shoulder and I am looking at carriers so I can use it to put her in when unloading and loading the cars and hotel on trips,takeing her in to family members houses where I have to set up her playpen and for any emergencies and other things I might need it for. I was hoping yall could help me know what I need to look at when buying a carrier.

| I frequently fly with my dogs, so my carrier may need to be a little more comfortable then most but here are the rules I follow: I like mine to be able to stand up and turn around in their carrier. PLENTY of ventilation- if it is a hot day you want plenty of air getting in so they can breathe. A sturdy bottom so the bag stands up on its own and doesn't flop over and when carried the dog doesn't sag. Comfortable arm loops so my shoulder isn't killing me by the end of the day. Room inside for a small carrier blanket and maybe even a toy. Side pockets of some kind to fit a wee wee pad, a small bag of kibble, a leash, and some wipes. The bag must enclose all the way around with zippers, even if has an area that just snaps shut or doesnt really shut at all, my dogs WILL get out. If the bag has zipper locks that is even better because mine have been known to unzip things. I like the mesh area to be made with as high quality mesh as possible because mine will chew. Here is a bag that fits ALL my criteria that I am considering ordering even though I have like a MILLION carriers already: Sturdi Products Incognito Pet Carriers

| Rylie LOVES her Sturdibag! I really like it too They make great products and I highly recommend them. Rylie has tons of bags, but the Sturdibag is by far her favorite. She loves being in it. |
