Today, it’s all the rage to take your petite pooch with you wherever you go so it’s no wonder that there are many different styles of small dog travel bags in the market. Some of them can be quite fashionable while others are more functional. When shopping for travel bags for your pooch, keep safety, comfort and good looks in mind.

One of the questions you need to ask yourself when looking for a travel bag is: what will you be using it for? Do you simply want a fashionable tote to carry your dog to the park? Or do you need something that you and your dog can do some serious traveling with? All these things need to be considered when choosing a travel bag for your dog.

Many small dog travel bags are made with fashion in mind and they often look like fashionable purses and come in vivid colors. These bags are great for the fashion-minded pet owner and a lot of them are pretty good for your pet too.

When choosing a bag, look at the features of the bag itself. Inspect the entry area to make sure that it will be easy for you to get your dog in and out. Another thing to look for is a little opening or flap so you can slip your hand in to pet the dog.

From your dog’s point of view, there are certain amenities in a travel bag that are a must. You’ll want to have some mesh “windows” for ventilation as well as for a place for your pet to peek out of. You’ll also want a comfy dog bed but be sure it’s one that can be detached for washing. A safety hook for attaching your dog’s leash is a nice feature as are some extra pockets to carry a few treats around in.

If you’ll be going on vacation by plane, get a small dog bag that is airline approved. You can get some great soft sided bags that can be placed right under your seat on the plane so you don’t have to worry about your pet. When shopping for these bags, make sure that they have a lockable zipper for safety, a padded bottom for comfort and mesh windows for ventilation.

Today, there are many styles of small dog travel bags to choose from at different prices. No matter where you take your dog - whether on a trip to the vet or a flight to Paris - there’s no reason that it can’t be done in comfort, safety and style.
