Travel in style with your dog

Imagine that you saw a chic lady toting her pooch in a pet tote that coordinated with the rest of her clothes, wouldn’t you say to yourself “Wow, that lady sure has a great sense of style!” The envious side of me is sure to retort, “She must be having loads of money and time to spare!” Nevertheless, if the truth is to be told, traveling in style with your pet is not all that expensive. You would need to invest some money if you don’t have any decent carriers for your pet so far. However, if you have chosen your existing carriers with care, augmenting your stock need not burn a hole in your pocket. Well, take a look at the some of the different types of carriers and decide which of them suit your lifestyle.

Dog carrier purse:

Meant for small dogs, these handbags are by far the easiest and cheapest way to ensure that your pet carrier complements your outfit. You can get a dog purse in a range that extends from a mere $10 to more than $ 400 if you want a designer Michael Kors pet carrier! You will find purses in different styles, from elegant artificial leather purses, striking leopard print bags, edgy studded handbags to girly red ruffled dog carriers. You just need to determine where on the price spectrum you stand and the design of the purse you want.

Dog backpack:

For a casual look to match with your jeans and tee, opt for a dog carrier backpack. If your pet prefers to have a better view, get a front pack or sling bag instead. If your dog is a bit heavy and you are not sure if you can carry it all along, choose for a wheeled pack that you can roll around when you are tired of lugging your pet.

Dog crates:

At times when you need to travel for long distances via flight, you have to crate your pet. Does this mean that you have to compromise on style? Not at all! Even the trusted airline approved Petmate dog crate comes in different colors now. If you are willing to shell out extra dough, you could buy a stylish crate like the Hagen pet cargo cabrio carrier. If you travel more often by car, opt for the comfy yet classy carrier like the Sleepypod.
