Sizing

The Travel Pawket car seat comes in two sizes:

The Standard size is the perfect bed or car seat for dogs up to 35 pounds (16kg). Larger breeds, such as the Goldendoodle or Siberian Husky, can use the Standard size as a car seat, but for a permanent bed they may need the larger XL, which is suitable for dogs up to 110 pounds (50kg). Get in touch with us at hello@thepawket.com for help finding the fit that's right for your pet.

The dog sling is suitable for pets up to 15 pounds (6.8 kg). Our slings are great for toy breeds like Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, and Chihuahuas. If your pet is less than 5 pounds, add a light blanket to the bottom of the sling to give them more height.

Using the dog car seat

Our dog car seats can be used in vehicles ranging from ultra-compact cars to large vehicles that can accommodate 9 or more people. Simply use the adjustable strap to secure the Travel Bed around the front or rear car seat.

Upon receiving The Travel Pawket car seat, insert the three largest cushions into the front, back and bottom sections of the cover and the smallest cushions into the sides. Zip all sides together. For use as a lounge-style dog bed or sofa, unzip the front zippers.

Your presence makes your pup feel at ease. With your dog present, spend a few minutes leaving your scent onto the Travel Bed by rubbing your hands over the cushions, or placing one of your old shirts inside.

Yes. To wash the car seat, unzip the removable covers. We recommend hand-washing in cool water with a gentle detergent. Let air-dry. Do not tumble-dry.

To keep the car seat looking its best, wipe the cover with a damp microfiber cloth on a weekly basis or as needed.

Using the dog sling pet carrier

On the inside of each dog sling is a lead that hooks onto your pet's harness to prevent them from jumping out. (We do not recommend hooking the lead onto a collar as this could hurt their neck should they jump out).

Please take special care when wearing, washing, drying, and storing your dog carrier sling. Here are some guidelines to ensure its longevity:

  • Refrain from bleaching, wringing, or tumble drying.
  • Opt for hand washing or a gentle machine wash in cold water with similar colors.
  • Be aware that shrinkage may occur in the dryer, hence it is advisable to air dry the item by hanging, which also helps preserve any metal hardware.
  • Should wrinkles appear, you may use an iron to smooth them out.
