Front Pet Carriers - New Items

A front pet carrier gives you a hands free approach to packing your small pet around.  It also allows you to carry your pet like a baby, allowing a tight bonding experience between you and your pet.  It is not an alternative to proper training and exercise for you pet though, but there are many good uses for a front pet carrier, especially if your pet is getting up there in years or is not a very mobile pet.  These pet carriers offer a comfortable place for your pet to sit while going wherever you go.  I love all of the great ideas that are available in pet carriers these days and look forward to seeing what will be next.

Backpack Pet Carriers - Now Available

A backpack pet carrier is yet another great addition to the styles of pet carriers available to you.  Many of them are the same carriers we discussed in the rolling pet carrier post.  It seems that the companies that make them have decided to incorporate both technologies into on carrier.  That's a great idea by me.  Then I only have to buy one carrier and I have multiple uses.  A backpack dog carrier is great for a hands free approach to toting your pet around.  It works just like a regular backpack and has a comfortable place for your pet to be while providing plenty of ventilation and a view of the world.  Now you can take your pet to class with you. Ok, maybe not every school will allow that, but think of all the great uses you have with a backpack pet carrier.  Like all carriers, a backpack dog carrier comes in a variety of styles and colors to choose from.  Another plus for me.

Rolling Pet Carriers - A Brief Look

In the growing trend of pet carriers, one of the greatest inventions is the rolling pet carrier.  A pet carrier with wheels is one of the easiest, most convenient ways to transport your small pet.  These fantastic carriers, come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Many of them also have multiple functions and can be used as backpacks or and other things such as a pet car seat.  A rolling pet carrier is great for traveling long distances, going to the park, or just about anytime you want to tote your pet with you.  Most are approved for airline use, but once again, it is always a must to contact the specific airline you are traveling on before hand to find out for sure, especially with a pet carrier with wheels, as some of them may be approved for air travel, but not for traveling with your pet in the cabin of the aircraft.  No matter what, they are very stylish and a great addition to the pet carrier family.

Dog Crate for The Dog Who Almost Ruined Christmas

I was talking with my mother on the phone the other day, and the conversation found us talking about dogs.  We were remembering some of the fun times we had with our dogs when I was a child.  Then we started talking about one time when our dog almost ruined Christmas.  We had left the house for a little while, and when we came back, it was a mouth opening experience what we saw next.  Our wonderful pooch had knocked over the Christmas Tree, ornaments were broken, and the lights strung all over the house.  I had forgotten about this, I think we remember our childhood pets as perfect, at least I do.  After my mom reminded me of that story, I remembered how our family learned that Christmas the importance of a dog crate.  Had we only used that simple training tool, our tree would have been standing upright when we cam home that day.  My dogs today are far from perfect, but they know and use their dog crates whenever they decide to retreat to a safe place.  We also know to use their dog crates when we need to leave the house.  It is great protection for the things that could have been.

Midwest Life Stages Dog Crates - Review

One of the more popular dog crates on the market today is the Life Stages Dog Crate by Midwest Pet Products.  I get a lot of questions about this particular crate, so I will try to answer some of the questions in this review.  The Life Stages series of crates is a best seller most everywhere you can find them.  They are the middle-of-the-line dog crate by Midwest, but don't let that fool you.  The Life Stages Dog Crates are some of the toughest on the market.  They are very finely built and built by the largest maker of pet homes in the country.  They come in single and double door versions.  They come with crate divider which is very handy if you have a puppy.  It allows him/her to grow into the crate.  They come with a very nice removable tray for easy cleaning.  The hinges and locking devices work very nice and smoothly.  One of the greatest things about the Midwest Life Stages Dog Crates is that they are very affordable.  They generally cost much less than their competitors of similar quality and still give the strength and durability you are looking for.  This is one of my favorite wire crates because I like value, and value + quality is what you will get with one of these fine dog crates.
