When em-barking (to pardon the pun) on outdoor adventures with your furry companion, choosing the right pet carrier bag can enhance your day, taking the stress and worry out of the unknown. 

A pet carrier bag not only provides a secure way to transport your pet when you need some extra comfort and security but also allows them to join in on the fun of outdoor escapades knowing they'll have a happy place to retreat to when their paws get tired or when terrain gets a little tricky.

Key Features to Look for in a Pet Carrier Bag

Opt for carriers that offer ample ventilation to maintain a fresh airflow, critical for your pet’s comfort during extended outings.

Ensure the carrier is constructed from materials capable of withstanding the rigours of outdoor activities, like the Adventurer or Explorer.

Adjustable straps can come in handy, ensuring your hands stay free to comfort your pooch and take in the surroundings. Check out the Cotswold Blue Carrier for hands free carrying, as well as a wipe proof base. 

Does the carrier open up and allow you to use it as a dog bed? Our soft sided dog carriers are super versatile and great for extended travels but compact enough to pack down too.

The carrier's dimensions and load capacity are important - it must comfortably fit your dog, allowing space for movement without being excessively spacious. Popping in a blanket can be great for extra cosiness and can also double as a picnic blanket for lunch on the go when you stop for a break!
