Measuring Your Pet for the Carrier

To ensure a proper fit, measure your pet while they are comfortably lying down — this is the typical position during travel. All carriers are sized to meet airline under-seat requirements while prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort. Be sure to compare your pet’s length to the recommended dimensions listed for each model.

Carrier Acclimation Tips

Introduce the carrier in a calm home environment well before travel. Let your pet explore it gradually so they become familiar and comfortable. Avoid making their first experience a trip to the airport or vet — it should feel like a safe space from the start.

I had the chance to speak directly with the owner of Mr. Peanut’s, and his passion for what he does really came through. That same passion shows up in every product — from the sturdy carriers to the pooper scoopers and travel gear. The materials are top-quality, the designs are practical, and you can tell these were made by someone who truly understands life with dogs. These are the kinds of products I trust for my own pups.
