Product description
Small dogs and cats generally want to be with you rather than swinging in a bag at your side, and a front carrier is the compromise. Your pet sits against your chest, can see your face, and both of your hands stay free. It is the format that works best for a nervous animal on public transport, where a bag on the floor is all noise and feet and offers no reassurance at all.
Legs go through openings at the front, so your pet sits upright against you rather than curled up out of sight in a pouch, and the top pulls closed with a drawstring so nothing goes over the side. The harness straps are padded and adjustable across the shoulders, which is the detail deciding how long you can realistically carry an animal, since unpadded webbing becomes uncomfortable within about ten minutes. There is a bear-shaped pocket detail on the front.
- Front-carry design worn against the chest
- Breathable leg openings so your pet sits upright
- Drawstring top closure
- Padded, adjustable harness straps
- Sizes L, XL, 2XL and 3XL
- 330 g to 410 g depending on size
On sizing, and on weight. Body length and how settled your pet is matter more than the label. A cat who wriggles is not a candidate for a front carrier at any size.
Who it's for: Owners of small, calm dogs and cats who want their pet close and their hands free on short trips, errands and visits.
Why we chose it
Small animals generally want to be with you rather than swinging in a bag at your side. Held against your chest they can see your face, and both your hands stay free. A cat who wriggles is not a candidate for this.
— Matt, founder
