Find the Perfect Wheel Away Pet Carrier: The Three Models to Consider

As traveling with a pet becomes increasingly popular, the variety of wheel away pet carriers also increases. Unfortunately, not all the models out there are really that great for the dogs and cats they’re designed to transport.

On the road is not the place to take chances with your pet’s safety and well being, so you’ll want to choose your carrier carefully. Here are a few affordable, high quality models worth taking a look at.

Classic Rio by Petote
The Classic Rio does it all. Not only will it transport your pet in comfort and safety, the carrier can also be worn as a backpack and turned into a pet car seat. With mesh on the top and both sides, you pet will get plenty of fresh air and a good view.

In the front you’ll find pockets for keeping snacks and toys on hand and in the back there’s a pocket big enough for your laptop. For the fashion conscious, this carrier comes in several unusual colors.

On Wheels Sherpa Bag by Sherpa
For carrying small pets, the Sherpa-on-Wheels Bag is ideal. Inside the carrier is a soft, trundle-style bed lined with faux lambskin. The mesh sides can be left open for ventilation or covered by flaps when you’re moving through busy areas that might frighten your pet.

 The storage pocket helps you keep vital pet gear in one spot. This carrier comes in medium and large to accommodate most cats and small dogs. Unlike a lot of soft-sided carriers, this one is airline approved by a number of major airlines.

Roller Bag by Ochino
This is the original model of Ochino’s popular line of pet carriers. The extendable handle lets you roll the carrier along behind you, while the strap makes it easy to carry in tight spaces and on stairs.

An interesting feature of this carrier is the balcony extension that allows your pet to get out and stretch a little while still held in by the leash attracted to the carrier. With its simple, understated design, this wheel away pet carrier will fit in with any set of luggage.
