Canvas Pet Carrier Tote Bag for Cats and Small Dogs

She hates the box. Zip her into a hard crate and she goes rigid, or she yells the whole way to the vet. What she actually wants is to see where she is going, and to see you while she does it.

This pet carrier tote bag is a canvas shoulder bag with an open-head character front, so her head stays out in the air while the rest of her rides against your hip.

What makes the trip easier:

• Peek-out design: her head sits comfortably outside the bag and the character body on the front does the rest
• Canvas build: a casual everyday material that goes with what you are already wearing
• Long shoulder straps: carry it over the shoulder or in the hand, whichever the walk calls for
• Characters to pick from: Yellow Bee, Green Dinosaur, Green Lion, Gray Lion, Blue Bunny, White Hamburger, Pink Bunny, Red Pig
• Built for small companions: cats and small dogs, on walks, short trips and shopping days

The bee, the bunny and the dinosaur all work the same way. You pick the one that suits her, and the bag reads as an outfit rather than a piece of pet equipment.

It is a real bag first. Over the shoulder on the way out, down beside you at the table, and she stays in it while you order, because she can still see the room.

Look at how it is put together. Canvas on the outside, a polyester lining inside, a snap fastener at the top, a clip anchored in the bag, and a drawstring that draws the opening in.

Out on the street it rides at the hip, her head through the front and her paws hooked over the edge. She gets to watch it all go past and you keep both hands free.

Getting the size right

Two sizes: M for pets up to 6 lb and L for pets up to 12 lb, with each bag's measurements in the size chart. Check your pet's weight and length before you order, so you know she will fit the opening and sit comfortably inside.

Specifications

Safety note: Clip the inner clip to her harness before she goes in, keep a hand on the bag in busy places, and never leave her unattended in it. An open-top tote is for calm walks and short outings, not a replacement for a secure carrier on vet visits or car trips.

Measure her across the body, pick the character she suits, and the next trip out is one she can watch instead of one she endures.
