Pet Carriers and Specialty Items for Pets

Web entrepreneurs Barry and Kim Kubala are proud to introduce their blog, which accompanies their business site, http://www.PuddlesPetCarrier.com. The small business was established in 2008 and expanded to include the pet supply website in August 2009.

“Years ago we raised Pomeranians, so going into this line of business was a natural extension,” said Barry. “We use many of the products on the site with our one dog and three cats, so we can personally attest to the product quality.”

At PuddlesPetCarrier.com pet owners are invited to browse a vast array of pet goods. There are collars and colorful toys specially made for feline friends, as well as bird food and cage accessories for feathered friends. Spoil man’s best friend with squeaky toys, adorable pajamas, rain coats and sweater jackets, and mahogany stained food and drink bowls. For safety, first aid kits for treating minor scratches or stabilizing serious conditions until a veterinarian can be reached are a must-have for all responsible pet owners. Orthopedic beds, cooling mats, and other specialty items help pets cope with aging and ailments.

The crowning jewel of the site is its collection of pet carriers and crates. These folding zippered carriers, car boosters, and backpack pet carriers are designed to ensure maximum comfort and safety for pets during travel. No longer do pets have to be put in a kennel or left in a car when the family goes on vacations or day trips.

“Pets are really full members of the family,” said Barry. “You wouldn’t leave your child home while you went off on vacation. We’ve done extensive research on carriers that allow owners to bring their furry family members along for the fun.”

Deluxe Backpack Pet Carrier on Wheels

I will be traveling to Brazil with my diabetic 16 pound cat. I read the reviews over and over because I was afraid my cat wouldn’t fit in it. The 18 inches long includes the wheels. The real lengh is 16. There is no way my 16 pound cat would fit comfortably in there. Only if she were smashed during the 15 hours trip. Since it’s said here that it will carry a 22 pounds animal, I decided to buy it. I guess my husband will use it as a backpack now… and we’ll have to buy another carrier for the trip.

I already have one backpack that I really like and was trying to find one just like it for our new dog (the one I have is from Target and they stopped carrying it). We like to take our dogs (13 lb Shih Tzus) bike riding with us and we usually attach the hook to their harness and leave the top unzipped, so we like something with fairly sturdy sides, which this one wasn’t bad. Also, glad it had the hook inside. However, this bag was much too small for our dogs. If we zipped them in completely they were smashed into little balls and if we left the top unzipped they practically fell out. I gave the bag to my parents who have a 7 lb toy poodle and this bag is the perfect size for them. Overall a good bag, just make sure your dog is small enough.

My pet flew round-trip from White Plains, NY to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I suggest you sit in the widest seat available, usually the middle seat in coach because there is more room underneath the middle seat in front of you to place the carrier. The window seat in coach has least space in front of you for the carrier and in my opinion the aisle seats cause too many distractions to your dog.

After reading stories of people traveling with pets who were turned away at the gate/denied boarding because of a non-compliant carrier, I was quite concerned with how I would transport my new puppy from Dallas to California. I settled on the Sherpa brand because of their partnership with several airlines and the guarantee they provided.

Despite the guarantee from Sherpa, I was still concerned about whether my 8 week old, 8.6lb Boxer would actually fit in this bag. She stood 11.5″ at the shoulder, which is taller than this bag – and the seat dimensions on Southwest indicated an 8.25″ height. I purchased the Medium and Large Original Deluxe Sherpa Carrier and took both to a Southwest ticket agent to confirm if either complied. The Agent took one look at the MEDIUM carrier and said it would definitely work. The Large would be a challenge (the construction is rather rigid and not easy to bend). My pup was definitely taller than both bags. When she sat down in the MEDIUM bag, her head was at the perfect height for her to gnaw on the zipper surrounding the top opening of the bag. This kept her pre-occupied and did no damage to the bag. When it was time to enter the airport, I simply had her lay down and I zipped up the top. She had plenty of room to stretch out and to shift positions. Boxers tend to sleep on their sides with all four legs extended (like a horse) and my pup was in this position frequently.
