Dog carriers are the perfect way to transport your small to medium sized dog, whether you choose a rigid plastic one or a soft sided carrier your dog will feel secure and snug as he or she is carried to the vet or on a short trip in the car.

Some dog carriers have the option of purchasing a wheel set which aids the transportation of the medium sized dog. Another optional extra is the drinking bottle. As with the dog cages many of the rigid dog carriers are approved for air travel.

Get your dog used to the dog carrier by leaving it indoors before a trip is planned. Leave it in the room with the door fastened open so the dog can explore it and feel secure and not threatened by it. You can also leave one of its favorite treats inside to encourage your pet to go inside.

Never force your dog into these dog carriers, you want it to be a happy experience for your dog and a dog that has been forced into the dog carrier will never want to go inside voluntarily. After your dog has got used to sitting inside you may want to place your dog's food inside the dog carrier to further encourage the dog inside and make it feel secure in the knowledge that it is a safe place to be.

Dog cages are an ideal way to transport your dog, they come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and some are even approved for air travel. The size of your dog cage will of course depend on the size of your dog. Your dog should be able to stand up with his or her legs straight and also be able to lie down comfortably and stretch. If you are unsure of what size to buy then do not hesitate to seek advice.
