Puppy Purse? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Dan & Corinne · 02-26-2006, 03:32 PM

I was looking for a masculine over-the-shoulder pet carrier and LaviniaHyacynth gave me a link to a site. I was browsing and saw this... I think it's not fair for the dog to have their legs all hanging out...

What do you think? If you have one, do you like it? Does your fur baby like it?

Personally, I think it makes the dog look like some sort of posession or accessory. Seems uncomfortable.

AmandaG · 02-26-2006, 03:35 PM

Yeah, I don't think it looks very comfortable!

Shanatink · 02-26-2006, 03:44 PM

Im not the biggest fan of those carrier. They just do not look comfortable for the dog, plus I think it looks silly to be swinging a dog around from a strap. Just my honest opinion.

hunniebunnie · 02-26-2006, 03:44 PM

i think those are so cute and they can double as a harness as well as a carrier. at first i thought it wouldn't be too comfortable for my puppy, except sometimes when i pick up and hold my puppy, he likes to have his legs dangle when i pick him up and hold him from the underside. i guess what might seem uncomfortable for us may be comfortable for them? but my understanding is that it's not recommended for dogs more than 5 lbs.

but if your purpose is to find a "masculine over-the-shoulder pet carrier", i don't think that fits the bill. the puppy purse is a very feminine style. if you're looking for something masculine, try Pet On The Go carriers by Celltei. it looks and functions like a messenger bag for your pet. it's casual looking and hands free!

I think those things look really uncomfortable for the dog. I think they are silly looking too

Rynn · 02-26-2006, 04:08 PM

that poor dog looks miserable, I think Sophie would absolutely hate it. I would be concerned about it chafing her legs, and it doesn't look very good either.

gutu28 · 02-26-2006, 04:38 PM

Ive seen those carriers everywhere and I honestly don't see the purpose in them. Your poor dog is just hanging in mid air while you're carrying them around.. it just looks uncomfortable..

red98vett · 02-26-2006, 04:42 PM

Yorkies and most dogs are most comfortable with their feet touching something......for that reason alone I would never use one of those.

mustangbee · 02-26-2006, 06:24 PM

Look's really uncomfortable

I would never put Princess in that!
Not even if it was Pink!!!

Zeus' Mom · 02-26-2006, 06:46 PM

I agree with what others have said, it doesn't look like it would be very comfortable for the dog. Wouldn't you think his/her little legs would lose circulation?

Baby Blessing · 02-26-2006, 08:23 PM

Don't like this one at all, the poor thing looks miserable. What type of carrier are you looking for? Patti

LaLoca1 · 02-26-2006, 09:06 PM

I agree....that dog looks miserable and I would NEVER put my pup in one of those. Has anyone really seen someone walking around using them??

Can we all be real though for a minute.....look at the picture again....I'm sorry, but it looks completely RIDICULOUS to me!!!

hunniebunnie · 02-27-2006, 02:13 AM

IMHO, i don't see how anyone can determine that the model dog looks miserable, from a small profile shot. besides, the puppy purse is a personal fashion/functional option to carry our furbaby, i don't think it's quite fair to judge it as "ridiculous" and "silly". like i have a few choice words about bling-bling on pets, but i recognize it as a personal choice and wouldn't offer a disparaging word especially around here because i know plenty of pet owners love to accessorize their yorkies little sparkles, whether they're real or not.
