The dog front carrier is increasingly popular with owners of small breeds and puppies. Worn on the front, against your chest, it brings your companion closer to you while leaving your hands free. Here's what you need to know.
Who is the front carrier for?
It is designed for small dogs and puppies (up to a few kilograms). Your pet travels on the front, reassured by your presence and your rhythm. It's ideal for urban walks, errands, or outings where you need both hands.
Advantages
- Reassuring proximity: your dog feels your warmth and scent.
- Hands-free: practical for daily life.
- Easy monitoring: you keep a constant eye on them.
- Shared comfort: shoulder straps distributed for you, padded bottom for them.
How to choose the right one
Check the maximum load supported and its suitability for your dog's weight. Look for adjustable and padded shoulder straps, good ventilation, and an internal safety leash connected to the harness to prevent them from jumping out.
Front carrier, backpack, or crate?
The front carrier is perfect for very small dogs and close proximity. For more active walks, the backpack distributes the weight better. For the car or large dogs, prefer a transport crate.
