Mesh Sling Carrier for Small Senior Dogs — Up to 13 lbs
For the little ones whose legs give out halfway through the walk. Wear it across your body and your dog rides against you, hands free, instead of being carried awkwardly in your arms the rest of the way home.
Why it works
- Breathable mesh panel so they can see out and stay cool while they ride
- Padded single-shoulder strap that keeps your hands free for the leash, keys, or a door
- Two sizes: Small holds up to 6.6 lbs, Large holds up to 13 lbs
- Lightweight build in mesh fabric, sponge padding and PVC, easy to fold into a bag
- Seven colors so it doesn't have to look like medical equipment
Who it's for
Small senior dogs and cats up to 13 lbs who still want to come along but tire out partway, and dogs recovering from surgery who are cleared to be out but shouldn't walk the whole distance. Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, toy Poodles, small terriers.
Not for bigger dogs. Over 13 lbs, this isn't the right carrier and we'd rather tell you now.
How it helps
The hardest part of a senior dog's walk is often the way back. A sling means you can let them sniff and wander as far as they're comfortable, then lift them in for the rest, so you're not turning around early or carrying a tired dog in your arms for six blocks.
Using it
- Adjust the strap so the opening sits at your hip, not your stomach
- Lower them in back legs first, and keep one hand under them until they settle
- Keep a hand on your dog whenever you bend over
- Never leave a pet unattended in the sling
