Can I Carry My Puppy in a Bag? Safe Travel Guide

Can I carry my puppy in a bag?

Yes—when done safely and thoughtfully, carrying your puppy in a bag can be a cozy, stress-free way to travel together. The key is choosing a well-ventilated, structured carrier that supports your pup’s body, keeps them secure, and feels comfortable for both of you. Look for soft yet sturdy walls, breathable mesh, a stable base, and a safety tether to clip to your puppy’s harness (never the collar). Keep trips short at first and watch for signs of stress or overheating.
