Kennels can really come in handy when you have a dog. They can make the ride in the car safer and they can make sitting in the waiting room more comfortable. Unfortunately, transporting your dog in his kennel can cause some problems too.

Traditional plastic kennels can be difficult to carry because as you hold the kennel upright, your dog can easily lose his footing. If you have a medium or large sized dog, it’s really best not to carry the kennel at all. Instead, place the kennel at the final destination and let your dog climb inside.

If you have a small dog, a kennel can still work, but it’s still likely to be uncomfortable. To make it comfier for your pooch, look into purchasing a cloth carrier that looks more like a bag.
