Are backpack carriers good for the dog, like its spine? And would it be generally comfortable for them? I have a 10-lb Maltese and 15-lb lhasa. Thank you!
I would not recommend these for any long periods of time (15mins max) as the posture in the carrier is very different to a normal, standing dog and I would be concerned both about the spine and pressure on internal organs. Dogs should be encouraged to walk and stretch normally in order to maintain bone, muscle and ligament strength and core fitness in order to reduce the risk of injuries

Will my ShiChon who is 15 long and 11 high fit in a airline soft sided carrier that is 17x11x11? Will she be comfortable as well? I’ve attached a picture of her in it. She climbed in herself.
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Princess and for providing a picture, it's helpful. Yes, it does look like she fits in it, but I am concerned that it may not be high enough for her. You'd like for the carrier to be big enough that the dog can turn around in. I'm not sure if you are planning to take her on a flight; if you are, you should check with the airlines to get their rules around pet transport and the requirements for the dog and the carrier. Best of luck.

Hey so in a couple of days We (my family) will be driving 2 hours away to a breeders house to get a 8 week old golden retriever puppy! I would love to know what I will need to bring for the puppy and if I should be aware of anything before the trip?
A collar and leash would be a great idea! But know that it takes time for puppies to get used to a leash - I just want her to be safe! A small carrier if you do not plan to hold the puppy the whole trip. Usually the breeder will tell you what kind of food that Ginger has been on so you can purchase some ahead of time. If you want to switch the food, gradually mix them together to transition her to the new food over 2-4 weeks. Ask for any records of shots or dewormers that the breeder has given so you can take them to Ginger's first vet appointment. I recommend a checkup with a vet within the first few days to test Ginger for intestinal parasites and any obvious congenital problems (like a heart murmur or abdominal hernia). Some puppies can become car sick, but it should wear off within a few hours of being home. She may also miss her litter mates and be sad for a few days. Here area couple Boop by Petco articles to get you started! https://www.petcoach.co/article/puppy-proofing-che
