Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my dog for a carrier or harness?

Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, then wrap a tape around the widest part of the chest. Weigh your dog and compare all three numbers with the listed limits, leaving a little room for comfort.

Can my cat wear a harness safely?

Yes, with patience. Let your cat sniff the harness indoors first, then fit it snugly so your cat cannot back out of it. Keep early sessions short and reward calm behavior with treats.

How do I help my pet accept a car seat?

Start with the seat parked in the driveway and offer treats for settling in. Move to short drives, secure the seat with the vehicle’s belt system, and keep it away from front airbags.

When does a pet need a recovery collar?

Vets often recommend one after surgery or when a pet keeps licking a wound or irritated skin. Follow your vet’s timeline, and check that you can slide two fingers under the collar.

Do airline carriers have to match airline rules?

Yes. Each airline sets its own size limits and pet policy, so check them before you book. Measure the carrier and confirm it fits under the seat in front of you.
