For people with elderly or unwell dogs (or young puppies)
I just bought this brilliant dog carrier pack from TradeMe for $17.50! (For a friend’s elderly dog who still likes to go for short walks). I believe they come in a range of sizes, this is an XL.
It has padded back straps, a waist strap, a clip to hold your dog in and can be worn back or front. Heaps of pockets for doggy bags, treats, keys, water bottle etc. I put a cushion in the bottom for comfort. It is made of mesh in the sides so your little one won’t get too hot!
I don’t sell these or have anything to do with them, I just know a lot of people don’t take their old dogs out any more for lack of a convenient way to transport them. Hope this will help some other dog owners. All the best Cherry 🍒
