Dog Carriers for Small Dogs: Take Your Dog Everywhere
Small dogs love being part of the action, and a good dog carrier means they can join you on trains and buses, in the car, at the vet, in shops that welcome dogs or on a long day out. The best carriers keep your dog secure, well ventilated and comfortable while being easy for you to carry. Our dog carriers collection is designed for small breeds and includes backpacks, shoulder carriers, plastic carriers, foldable and extendable designs, car seat carriers and luxury strollers.
Backpack Dog Carriers
Backpacks keep your dog close to you and leave both hands free, which is perfect for walking, cycling to the park or travelling on public transport. Choose the Carrier Backpack for Cats and Small Dogs, the Tall Carrier Backpack for slightly taller breeds, the Carrier Backpack with Large Window for curious dogs that like to watch the world, or the Water Resistant Fabric Backpack for wet weather.
Shoulder and Soft Carriers
Lightweight, padded soft carriers in sofa fabric are ideal for short outings and dogs that like to snuggle. Side pockets keep treats, poo bags and a lead close at hand.
Plastic and Foldable Carriers
For vet visits and car journeys, our High Quality Cat and Small Dog Plastic Carrier is robust and easy to clean. The Foldable Carrier packs flat for storage, and the Carrier with Extension gives your dog more room during longer trips.

- Ventilation: mesh panels and windows keep air flowing.
- Security: strong zips and an internal safety clip help prevent escapes.
- Purpose: backpack for walking, plastic for car and vet, stroller for long days out.
Travel Tips for Small Dogs
