Best Dog Carrier Slings of 2025

"I was amazed by the quality of this product. The presentation and design are remarkable, and my 18-pound chihuahua-terrier mix loved it! The solid bottom provides stability, and the soft velvet lining keeps her snuggled."

"I just got this bag, and I’m really impressed with the buttery faux leather. The interior is roomy and lined with a soft, furry fabric. It’s perfect for my 8 lb dog who gets anxious in busy places."

"This sling bag is fantastic! The adjustable sleeve fits comfortably, but I worry it might be a bit small for my 9 lb puppy if she grows. I’ve received so many compliments on how cute it is!"

"I think this sling carrier is great! Having never used one before, the enclosed instructions were really helpful. It fits my 4.8lb pup snugly, and he seems to enjoy it. Some reviews mentioned it being too stretchy, but it feels just right for me. I'm a size 14 with a 35-inch waist, and I can easily wear and tie it without any issues."

"When I got this for my 3-pound chihuahua, I was thrilled! She follows me everywhere, and this carrier is perfect for trips to the store. It's very soft and secure."

"At first, I really liked this sling for my dog, but as she grew, it became a bit challenging to keep her in place. While the fabric is soft, it doesn’t offer much versatility, and I found I had to keep readjusting it. I hoped to love it, but it seems more suitable for smaller puppies."

"I wanted a carrier for my small dog, who weighs 7.5 pounds now. After searching for something safe and easy on my back, I found this one. It's a bit pricey, but the quality is excellent. My dog feels secure in it, and I can carry her for hours without discomfort. This product absolutely deserves its 5-star rating."

"This carrier has been a game-changer for my special needs kitty. I take him to the vet every two weeks, and having him cozy against my chest makes the experience much better for him. My shoulders are grateful for the relief from a bulky carrier, although I still find putting it on to be a bit tricky at times. Overall, it's been a lifesaver."

"I bought this carrier for my 16-year-old dog, weighing 8 pounds, to help my daughter take care of him during our travels. He loved it, cuddling up inside and never trying to escape. It’s easy to put on and adjust. I was initially skeptical, but it turned out to be a great choice. Buddy Boy gives it a paws up!"

"I'm so glad I purchased this bag because I absolutely love it! It’s super cute and stylish with plenty of room for my pup. Plus, the pocket for small items is a fantastic addition. I'm thrilled with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone!"

"This carrier has been a game changer for my rescue dog with separation anxiety. She loves being in it and feels calm, allowing me to do chores and even sit at my desk without worry. It’s amazing how much more we can do together now!"

"I was really surprised at how well this bag worked for my lively Yorkie puppy. He stays calm and happy while in it, and the bag is sturdy and spacious enough for him. It has truly been a blessing for both of us!"

"I find this sling to be cute but a bit cumbersome. My Maine Coon fits perfectly inside, and both my cats love it. However, I feel like I can't get much done with them in there, lol. It's a great option for taking them out for walks!"

"The sling is well made and has a soft minky interior. My kids adore it, especially the puffer jacket style, and they love putting our cats in it. Unfortunately, two of our four cats are really unsure about it—one is even scared just seeing it on the ground. I guess we have some work to do before they're comfortable!"

"After trying numerous carriers for my 5.7-pound Maltese, this is the only one she enjoys. She even lies in it when it’s on the floor, and she’s comfy and secure while we stroll. Very excited about this find!"

"I have a 19-pound Frenchie who loves to travel with me. This doggie hammock is fantastic! She fits snugly against me, and I appreciate the magnetic front pocket for small items. It's built well, though I wish the shoulder strap had more padding as my shoulder felt pinched after a while."

"This carrier is beautiful and well-made, but unfortunately, it was too small for my little dog. I wish it had been the right size because the quality is apparent!"

"I bought this for my brother's little dog, and he absolutely loves it! The center is bigger and deeper than most I've found, and the shoulder strap is thicker and comfortable. Plus, there's a pocket for my phone or essentials. Best of all, the dog feels more secure in it than in other bags. The design is nice and well-built, and I'm pretty sure it would be easy to wash."

"I was a bit worried my pup wouldn't fit, but she did! At 9 pounds, my 3-year-old Shih Tzu fits perfectly. She either lays down or sits, which tells me it's comfortable. It's not heavy on my shoulders, but I wish there were more buttons in the front like the back. Other than that, it's wonderful!"

"This bag is a great concept and seems very well made. However, I didn't consider how it would fit on me as a plus-sized individual. When I tried it on, it was clear I couldn't even open the bag to get my dog inside. While it feels great quality, I think it would work better for small to average-sized people. I would also prefer a solid color inside instead of the checker pattern!"

"I have an older chihuahua mix who sometimes struggles with mobility, especially after long walks. I bought this sling to help her navigate the city during bad weather or when a stroller is impractical. I’m super happy with it! She fits well and feels secure in the sling. The padded shoulder strap is a great touch, and the zipped compartments for dog bags are super convenient. It can get a bit heavy after a while, but that’s expected when carrying a 20-pound dog. We even took it on vacation with snow on the ground, and it worked perfectly!"

"I carry my dachshund in and out of our apartment to protect his back due to our stairs. I previously made a support board for him, but my last bag was too shallow. This sling is so much better! It’s spacious enough for his support board and allows him to see out comfortably. The drawstring top makes it easy to get him in and out. I appreciate the water-resistant material too! My only issue is that the strap buckle hits my neck, but I’m figuring it out."

"I really wanted to like this carrier for my 18-pound Boston Terrier, but it’s been a bit challenging. Loading her in is not easy no matter how I try. Once she’s in, it doesn’t seem comfortable as the top edge presses against her neck. The padding on the bottom moves around, making it hard for her to sit or lay down comfortably. The adjustable shoulder strap is thick and works well, but overall, the carrier hasn’t met my expectations."

"I recently returned another sling because it didn't support my tiny dog. However, once I received this one, it was perfect. He sits comfortably, and I can wear it without worry. You can tell he enjoys it, and I appreciate the padding and safety it provides. I'm grateful to have found a product that considers pet comfort!"

"This pouch is wonderful! It has tethers and adjustable snaps that greatly reduce the risk of my chihuahua falling out. The fabric provides good support without overheating. The zippered pocket is a great feature for storing essentials. My dogs love being carried around the house and yard!"

"I love this carrier! It's well-made and super comfortable for my Pomeranian. She seemed so happy in it that I had to take her out myself. It's a great fit, and I'm really pleased with how she enjoys being in the pouch."

"I found this product to be great for my kitten who loves going outdoors. While the quality isn't top-notch, it's good enough for the price. It fits my kitten comfortably, with some extra room, and even works for larger cats. The collar clip is a fantastic feature, allowing me to keep my jumpy cat secure during walks."

"I purchased this for my 8-pound mini dachshund. She fits snugly, but the sling does bounce a bit when I walk. The secure leash is helpful but a bit short for my needs. While it works for my dog, I wouldn't recommend it for larger breeds."

"I absolutely love this little carrier! The leash attachment is a great feature, although I do find that the buttons don’t stay closed all the time. They tend to pop open, even with my small dog. Despite that, I would definitely buy it again!"
