Pet Gear Pet Carriers - I-Go2 Backpack Dog Carriers:
Backpack dog carriers and pet carriers with wheels offer a stylish and "hands free" approach to traveling with your pet. Some of the best that I have found are made by Pet Gear. These fine carriers are designed to operate in 5 different ways and offer your pet a fashionable and comfortable ride wherever you may go. Pet Gear is expanding their line of small dog carriers and I am proud to offer them here at Canine Crate Store.
About Backpack Dog Carriers:
A backpack pet carrier is easy to use and offers a comfortable and safe ride for your pet. No matter if you are biking, hiking, going for a walk, or traveling through the airport, having both hands available is nice They function just like any other backpack and the best that I have found are the Pet Gear I-Go2 Carriers. These fine carriers function as more than a backpack and actually offer your pet 5 different products in one. They can be used as a pet carrier with wheels, a dog car seat, a shoulder bag, an airline travel bag, and obviously a backpack dog carrier.
Like any other pet carrier, there are some things that should be considered when looking at these products, and Pet Gear has addressed these things with their fine products. The main things I consider when looking at the backpack pet carriers are:
Quality- Look for a durable item made from top quality fabric and parts. If it has wheels, make sure that the wheels are strong, especially if using it for air travel. Running through the airport can cause a lot of wear on the wheels. Also, make sure the zippers are heavy duty and will last a long time.
Airline Approved - The Pet Gear I-Go2 backpack dog carriers are approved for use on most airlines, but it is always a must to check with the airline when traveling with one. They are not "guaranteed" to fly like some Sherpa Carriers are, but I have not seen any problems yet (I am also an airline pilot).
Fashion and Comfort - There is no point in having something that is uncomfortable for you or your pet, and it might as well look good too!
In my experience, the benefits of using a backpack pet carrier far outweigh the disadvantages and are well worth it. I actually don't know of any disadvantages personally. Pet Gear has done a great job in designing the I-Go2 Carriers and the new dog totes are very nice as well. I highly recommend any product made by this fine company and believe that they are looking out for the best interest of you and your pet.
