    Sizing and info

    Before you order - please read 👀

    Most returns happen because dogs weren’t measured.

    To make sure your Homies Dog Carrier fits perfectly, measuring your dog is essential. Breed alone is not enough - dogs of the same breed can vary a lot in size.

    👉 We don’t cover return shipping, so please double-check the size guide below before ordering.

    How to measure your dog (takes 30 seconds)

    Do not include the tail.

    If your dog is between two sizes → size up for comfort.

      'Hi there! I'm Laurha. I started Homies Dogwear after my dog Sophie jumped out of my bike basket mid traffic - definitely a scary moment. I realized we needed something actually safe so I could take her everywhere without worry.

      That's how the Homies dog carrier was born. Now Sophie's my constant companion. It's changed how we spend time together. I genuinely think every dog owner should try it'. - Laurha

    Still unsure? Start the chat or us at info@homiesdogwear.com with your dog's measurements and breed - we're happy to help you choose before you order.

    Is this comfortable for my dog?

    Yes! The bag is designed with vet input and tested for ergonomics. It has cushioned support, breathable mesh windows, and proper weight distribution. Your dog should be able to sit naturally with their paws down. Always attach the safety leash to a harness (not a collar) for comfort and security.

    Will this work for older dogs or dogs with joint issues?

    Yes, many customers use it for senior dogs or pups with mobility issues who can't walk long distances. The bag gives them a safe way to still join adventures. Just make sure they can sit comfortably, and we advise taking regular breaks - see below for guidance.

    How long can my dog stay in the bag?

    Dogs can stay in the bag as long as they're comfortable and relaxed. For longer trips, take breaks every 1.5 hours for a pee break and leg stretch. You also want to go to the toilet and stretch your legs every 1.5 hours, right? Your dog does too! These regular breaks keep both of you happy and comfortable on longer adventures.

    Is this even safe for dachshunds?

    Yes! Our bags have been extensively tested and approved by certified veterinary professionals, including specifically for long-backed breeds like dachshunds. The design supports your dog's natural sitting position with proper weight distribution and cushioned support.

    The key is correct sizing and usage:

    • Measure your dachshund's back length carefully (most standard dachshunds fit size S)
    • Always use the internal safety leash attached to a harness (never a collar)
    • Support your dog when putting them in and taking them out
    • Take regular breaks on longer trips

    The bag is designed for transport from A to B, not for extended periods. As long as your dachshund can sit comfortably and you take breaks, they'll be safe and happy in the carrier.

    How does Homies Dogwear contribute to animal welfare?

    For every bag sold, Homies Dogwear donates a meal to a shelter dog, as we believe all dogs deserve the care they need. This year, we donate to the animal shelter in Amsterdam: DOA.

    In what sizes and colors is the Dog Carrier available? And are there any more sizes coming out?

    The Homies Dog Carrier is available in three sizes, XS, S and M, and in two colors: Oliver Green and Bruno Black. We will make more products, colors and sizes in the future.
