10 Best Dog Carriers UK 2024 | PetsFit, Rosewood and More

If you want your dearest dog to travel in style and luxury, then you'll be hard-pressed to find a more glamorous product than this crate. The included mat is adaptable to different weather conditions as it is fleece-lined on one side for the chillier months and cool polyester on the other for when the weather picks up. 

Plus, whilst it is a soft-sided case, it does have steel frames inside, giving it a stiffer construction. There is plenty of ventilation, a small pouch for storage but best of all, it can comfortably take dogs up to 15 kg! So, due to its luxury, features, and strength, this carrier sails to our number 1 spot. 

This well-built and sturdy dog cage is perfect for small to medium-sized dogs, though there are three other size options if you require them. The design incorporates unique heavy-duty nylon clips for simple assembly and each purchase comes with a fully-fitted tray. 

Moreover, Rosewood is known for their quality with many owners praising the secure locks that are strong enough for even the most boisterous of pups. Yes, it is a little on the expensive side, but this should stay with your and your dog for as long as they'll need it, so you'll never have to worry about moving them again. 

There are a few features to really like about this sling. Firstly, its design is much roomier in comparison to the others on the market, and while 10 cm doesn't sound much, we're sure your four-legged friends will appreciate the additional space. There are also a couple of handy pockets and a collar hook for security.

It has a wider strap than most too, meaning there is an increased contact area which should make it that little bit more comfortable for those wearing it. Finally, it looks pretty stylish! If this mid-grey isn't your vibe, there are four other colourways to choose from. 

The unique selling point of this dog carrier is the fact that it is essentially a travelling home with a fancy extension, giving your pup a little more space to stretch out in, which is perfect if they're stuck in the back of the car or airport. Luckily, the rest of the carrier is up to scratch too. 

There is an attachment inside which you can hook onto the dog collar for additional security, as well as a pocket to store toys or treats. Plus, the carrier comes with a cosy mat included, so you won't have to spend time searching for one that will fit. 

First things first, while this carrier is called 'Large', that is in relation to pets in general, not dogs specifically, so don't be surprised if your Newfoundland is longer and taller than 33 cm! However, The plastic crate is designed to inspire safe and secure travel for small and medium breeds. 

The crate is lightweight, well-ventilated and easy to clean. It has a steel wire door that works smoothly and allows for easy entry and exit, so long as you don't let your dog know it's going for a trip to the V-E-T. Best of all, it's a pretty good bargain at £20, so it could be good if you're working on a smaller budget. 

This large soft-sided crate was built with big canines in mind. It is spacious and airy thanks to the high ceiling and mesh windows and comes with a fleece bed, making it easy for your companion to get cosy in there. 

The carrier comes with a handle and a shoulder strap, which is good if you're planning on loading it up with a bigger good boy. Our only concern is that if you have a chewer on your hands, particularly if they're big, they could make light work of this the second your head is turned. 

This backpack has both shoulder and waist straps that ensure all parties using it will be comfortable while out exploring. The bag is cushioned throughout for additional comfort, but also reinforced with small bits of plywood, just to give it a slightly sturdier feel. 

The bottom of the bag is removable, which is ideal when it comes to cleaning, although the whole thing can go in the washing machine if you wish. Still, it may take a while to dry. Some buyers have found that the straps are set a little wide, which might be worth thinking about if you have a narrow build. 

The first cage in the ranking, this offering is suitable for a range of different breeds from dachshund to springer spaniel, but as always, make sure you check the measurements first. The cage comes with a moveable carry handle, two entrances that use a secure sliding latch mechanism and is made from chew-proof steel. 

Furthermore, the cage can be folded flat, which makes it better for storing and transporting. Just make sure you take the pooch out first! The only issue is that it doesn't come with a bed or anything comfortable to lie on, so you'll have to purchase one separately. 

If you have a tiny new pup that is too small to go for walks yet, an injured pup, or just an old boy who struggles with too much walking, this sling carrier is perfect. It comes with an adjustable strap too, making it comfortable for all pet lovers of all sizes. 

On top of this, there is a nifty security lock that attaches to your doggo's collar, which will help keep it safe if an accident occurs, plus, there is even a pocket where you can store everyday items like your phone or keys. We just wish the company told us if it can go in the washing machine. 

First up is this hard-sided case from the AmazonBasics range. It comes with two doors, one on the front and one on top. This enables easy loading for your pet, which in turn makes the experience less stressful for everyone involved. 

The crate is built from durable plastic with a steel-wire front door, and is decorated with plenty of air holes to provide ventilation. Unfortunately, some users have found that the handle can almost wriggle itself free, so you'll want to keep an eye on if you carry it this way frequently.
