A carrier is an essential item that all Chihuahua owners need to own. Even if your Chihuahua stays cooped up inside the house most of the time, there will still be occasions when you need to take him for a car ride.
If you’re headed out of town for vacation, you may need to take your Chihuahua to a friend’s house. Alternatively, you may need to take your Chihuahua to the veterinarian for an annual checkup.
friend’s house or just taking them to the veterinarian for an annual checkup, your Chihuahua will have to leave the house as some point or another. Using a specialized carrier or travel bag will offer a safe and convenient way to transport your Chihuahua.
Making the decision to purchase a Chihuahua carrier is an investment that is certain to pay off in the long run. Many owners don’t realize just how useful they are until they own one. While the most obvious use is that it allows you to travel with your Chihuahua in a safe manner, but there are some other uses that you may be unaware of. Let’s take a look at some of the main uses for a Chihuahua carrier.
One of the greatest benefits of using a Chihuahua carrier is that it allows you to keep them safe and secure when making trips to the veterinarian. Most vet offices are filled with dogs, cats and other family pets, and this may create a dangerous situation for Chihuahuas that are allowed to roam free. If your Chihuahua instinctively runs up and acts aggressively towards other pets in the waiting area (this actually happens a lot), they could start a fight that ends in a serious injury. As you probably know, Chihuahuas have the Napoleon Complex and try to pick fights with dogs much larger dogs. This can all be prevented, however, by keeping your Chihuahua secure in a carrier or travel bag when you take them to the vet.
Being that Chihuahuas are the smallest dog breed in the world, and arguably the cutest as well, many owners prefer having them by their side when running errands, picking up food or just for a drive around the neighborhood. Like most dogs, Chihuahuas love the attention and opportunity to get outside the house for a while. This creates a valuable bonding experience that naturally strengthens the relationship between you and your Chihuahua. Of course, you’ll need a proper carrier or tote if you plan on taking them with you, but that’s where we come in!
What To Look For In a Chihuahua Carrier
When shopping for a Chihuahua carrier, you might be surprised to see just how many different types there are. Some of them are small over-the-shoulder straps that mimic a pouch, while others are designed in a style similar to a backpack. However, these are just two of the many different types of carriers available. With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and not know where to start. If you’re having trouble choosing one, use the following criteria to help narrow your selection down.
- First and foremost, identify how the carrier itself is transported. For instance, bikers or those who frequently travel on food will likely want a backpack-style carrier. On the other hand, a traditional briefcase-style carrier would work fine for those traveling by car.
- You’ll also need to factor in size when choosing a Chihuahua carrier. Ideally, it should be just large enough for them to stand up and turn their body around in. While you can still use carriers larger than this, it makes transportation more difficult and increases the chance that your Chihuahua will use the bathroom in their carrier.
- Airflow is something that’s oftentimes overlooked by those searching for a new Chihuahua carrier. Unless it’s an open-top carrier, it needs to have a mesh screen or holes poked in the sides to allow fresh air in.
- It’s not pleasant to think about, but accidents will likely happen inside your Chihuahua’s carrier. Thankfully, some carriers are designed with ease of cleaning in mind, so you’ll want to factor this into your decision. When your Chihuahua has an accident in their carrier, and they will, you’ll want to be able to clean it out quickly and easily.
- Lastly, comfort should always be considered when purchasing a new Chihuahua carrier. Remember, these accessories are primarily used to transport Chihuahuas, so they will probably be spending quite a bit of time in it. You can make their temporary living quarters more comfortable by offering them a soft interior lining with a blanket or two added.
