Pet Carriers and Travel Bags for Cats and Dogs
Pet carriers and travel bags include carrier bags, shoulder bags, backpacks, folding carriers and transport containers for cats and dogs, with brands including Purlov, Petkit, Petsi, Gardlov and Gotel. These options suit vet visits and everyday journeys with a pet. Choose according to your pet’s measurements and weight, then consider whether carrying by hand, on the shoulder or on the back suits your route.
Pet carriers and travel bags provide several ways to transport cats and dogs for appointments and everyday journeys. Options include carrier bags, small shoulder bags, backpacks, folding models and pet transport containers. Car booster seats that also function as carriers and dog car seat covers are available too. Brands represented include Purlov, Petkit, Petsi, Gardlov and Gotel.
How to choose pet carriers and travel bags
Start by comparing your pet’s weight and body measurements with the carrier’s stated dimensions and weight limit. Weight alone does not establish whether a carrier offers enough room. Next, consider how much of the journey involves walking and how much involves travelling by car. Your preferred carrying position and the space available for storage also help narrow the choice.
- Carrier bags: these provide a way to carry cats and dogs. Match the bag’s dimensions to your pet rather than choosing by appearance alone.
- Shoulder bags: these are carried over the shoulder. Consider the combined weight of the bag and pet over your intended walking distance.
- Carrier backpacks: these allow a pet to be carried on your back. Compare the stated dimensions and permitted pet weight for each model.
- Folding carriers: these can be folded after use. Check the individual description for folding details when storage space is a priority.
- Transport containers: these offer another format for moving cats and dogs. Assess the container’s measurements alongside your pet’s body size.
- Car travel accessories: a booster seat and carrier combines two functions, while a seat cover covers the car seat. Choose according to the task required.
A vet visit, a walk to an appointment and a car journey can call for different carrying arrangements. Compare bags, backpacks and containers around your usual route, your pet’s size and storage needs between trips.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right pet carrier size?

When should I choose a pet carrier backpack?
A pet carrier backpack is an option when you prefer to carry your pet on your back. Consider the combined weight, your walking distance and the backpack’s stated dimensions.
What is the advantage of a folding pet carrier?
A folding pet carrier can be folded for storage after use. The folding method and dimensions depend on the individual model.
Is a dog car seat cover the same as a carrier?
A dog car seat cover is intended to cover the vehicle seat, while a carrier is intended for carrying a pet. Some pet car booster seats also function as carriers.
