| Pet Front Carriers I am looking for a front pet carrier for my little 3 pounder! I bought one from Drs. Foster & Smith. It's a plastic carrier that is open on the top and closed on the bottom but even tho it's for 'small' dogs, my little Muffin gets lost in it. Does anyone here use one and if so, which kind do you use? |

| Hi Welcome! Most of the front carriers seem to be very similar, but have you seen this one? My friend has it for her tiny puppy and she seems to like it. Just an idea for you!

| okay you guys are gonna think Im nuts but I have bought all kinds of carriers for Roxy and really isnt crazy about any of them. About 2 weeks ago I was shopping for a baby gift when I came across this baby carrier. I tried it on and it was so comfortable so I put her into it and she fell right asleep. So of course I bought it. She still loves it! I llike it too, its stylish and has 2 pockets for my wallet a nd cell phone in the strap. You might like it too. Heres the website www.jjcoleusa.com its the premaxx premium baby carrier. |

| The best front carrier packs are made by Kari Pet. I have one made by Pet Pouch and it's pretty good too. Barkindogclothes.com has a really cute sling style carrier that looks pretty comfy and might fit your little one well.

| I have a regular front style carrier - like the ones they sell at Petsmart. When Rowdy was tiny, I just put blankets in it on the bottom and sometimes on the sides, to take up the space and he loved it because it was cozy and snuggly. It fit him perfectly and as he grew, I just used fewer or smaller blankets to take up the space he didn't need. Now that he is 4 lbs, he fits in it just fine.

| I have a front carrier for Chewy and he loves it. It sits down and snuggles in and then every now and again he pops up to look out. There's no label in it...sorry. I've thought about offering them on my site, but didn't know if they would sell. Maybe I should give it a go? |

| I have the front carrier from PetSmart, too. My dogs love it. When we are going somewhere with crowds, I carry one of them in it and they feel like "big dogs" cause they can see everything from above. When I take Scout to school on Monday nights, I carry him in it because I have a stick shift car and can't hold him-it has a little buckle for his harness so he can't jump out. Both of mine COULD fit in it, however they argue and jockey for position, so it's not much fun. Usually the one who is not in it gets jealous of the one who is....I need to get another!

| http://www.petsmart.com/global/produ...=1131741093115 This is the one we use. It has worked for Shelby since I got her, less than 2lbs. She is buckled in so I loosen the tie so it falls lower and she can see out without standing up. Now she is larger (3+lbs) she loves to drape both of her paws over the edge. We use it whenever I take a long walk and we used it on hikes in the summer. |
