Product details

Small dogs and cats often want to stay right by your side, wherever the day takes you. The TailWise Hands-Free Front Pet Carrier Backpack keeps your pet snug against your chest on walks, errands and trips, so they feel safe and close while you get on with your day. This front dog carrier is an easy way to bring a small companion along to markets, parks and train stations.

A tote keeps your pet tucked away inside a bag. This chest carrier is worn, not held, so your hands stay free for a leash, a bag, a coffee or your phone. The front-carry design keeps your pet tucked close while they see what's going on around them, which many small pets find reassuring in busy places. Padded, adjustable straps let you set the carrier so your pet is supported and secure, and it comes in baby blue, dusty pink or khaki.

Choose this carrier for small dogs and cats who fit comfortably without being squeezed. Adjust the straps before your pet goes in, lower them in gently, and check that they're supported and secure. Let them get used to it at home first with short, happy sessions before your first outing. On warm days, keep outings short and out of direct sun. Always supervise your pet, never leave them unattended in the carrier, and check the straps and buckles regularly.

How to use it
  1. Adjust the straps before your pet goes in.
  2. Lower your pet gently into the carrier.
  3. Check that they're supported and secure, never squeezed.
  4. Start with short sessions at home, with treats.
