Pampered Pals: A Bag Divided
While I can't say I'm a fan of the backpack, my shoulders appreciate any pet carriers with wheels. When walking long distances, it's the best way to tote a pet with minimal strain on my back. Even though the Trolley Bag ($178) is too big to vertically fit under the airline seat, I love the divider allowing you to pack two tiny pets or tote bowls and other key essentials under (or over) the adjustable shelf for other trips with just one furball.
Which Pet Carrier Collection Is the Most Chic?
If you're gearing up to take a trip with a small pooch or cat, refresh your memory on the year's cutest carriers we've featured on this site. To kick off our Best of 2008 coverage, I'm asking which pet bag brand rises to the top of your list. In case you've forgotten, I've included a sample tote from each collection – please pick just one!
New Product Alert: Fall Carriers From Ella Dish!
Fall is my favorite time of year, mostly due to the great weather, but it's really the season's fashions that get me all a twitter! I'm getting set for the weather change in my wardrobe, so it's only natural that I get North all caught up, too – he's one hip hound if I do say so myself! If your pet can still fit in a carrier, you're going to fall in love with Ella Dish's new line of bags.
Found! Natalie Portman Is on the Sherpa Train, Too
I'm a fan, Amanda's a fan, and even Christina's a fan. Now, we spot Natalie Portman toting her cute pooch across the country in a Sherpa, too! I have this very model of the popular brand because of its special flap features: You can roll and snap up the sides to let a pet breathe the fresh air, but then pull down the shades for some shut-eye on the plane.
Pampered Pals: I GO2 5-in-1 Carriers
If you loved this backpack, I'm betting you'll go equally gaga over this 5-in-1 converting to a tote, wheeler, car seat, backpack, or shoulder carrier – umm, wow! The aptly named IGO2 bags are FAA-approved as carryons and include a fleece bed for long trips across town . .
Pampered Pals: Action Petpack If You're Action Packed
If I didn't see the mesh, I'd swear this was a simple hiking pack! The Pet-a-go-go Petpack ($140) is perf for those sporty dog-loving types. Holding animals up to 15 pounds, it's a hands-free way to carry a pet that may not be up for walking the entire way, or safely stow a pooch for your bike ride or sneaking onto public transportation.
Legs Out Front Pet Carrier: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
Even though I've seen these in stores in the past, I would definitely do a double take if I spotted one of these girls on the street. Though there are many variations of this baby doggy carrier, products like the Legs Out Front Pet Carrier ($27.50 and up) are designed to promote bonding. A lot of bonding.
How Much Does It Cost to Carry a Pet in a Real Ostrich Bag?
When I spotted this classy camel-colored bag under the arm of Antonio Sabato at the 7th annual Nuts for Mutts Dog Show and Pet Fair to benefit New Leash on Life, I made it my morning mission to locate a similar faux ostrich bag. Even though Antonio's lucky pooch gets a mock ostrich carrier, little did I know that my search for it would lead me to an authentic ostrich pet carrier . .
The Global Gallivanter Trunk: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
I'm always talking about how important it is to travel with your pets safely – and it doesn't hurt to do it in style – but I think this number only does one thing really well . . .
Do You Tote Your Pets?
Although my pal already bought a pretty pricey carrier for her new pup, I fell in love with this London Pet Tote ($99) while scouring the Internet for our Collar Matching Mission, and only wish that North was still a baby so I could have a reason to buy it for his bus trips! It seems North is my excuse to buy things more than I realize!
This product got me wondering how many people actually tote their pets around, not just on public transportation, but just walking around the city or even in the suburbs.
