Tomkas Small Dog Sling Carrier - Classic Pocket Classic Strap - Wrap Carrier - for 3-10 lbs Pets

I absolutely love this bag! It is perfect for girls and super comfortable to wear. It’s the perfect size to carry my puppy, and it works amazingly well for small Chihuahuas. My Chihuahua weighs about 8 pounds, and she fits comfortably with room to spare. There’s even enough space in the back to fit her little puppy too, which I was so happy about. The bag feels secure, well-made, and supportive, so I feel confident carrying my dogs in it. It also has a strap so the dog doesn’t try to get out and it attaches to her collar. It comes with two buttons to secure the dogs better. It’s easy to wear, hands-free, and my dogs seem very comfortable inside. I’ve already gotten compliments on it, and I would 100% recommend this carrier to anyone with small dogs. I also have room to put my phone in the pocket which is convenient. Such a great purchase totally worth it! Read more

The media could not be loaded. This is one of those Amazon purchases where I don’t understand how it could cost so little. Just the fabric to make this would cost more than the cost of this sling. Even though the shoulder strap is not adjustable, I find that more comfortable across my shoulder. I am 5 foot 4, and Because I have a large belly right now, the area in which the dog lies is a little bit resting high on my belly instead of flat against my side. For that reason, obese or large bosomed people might find the strap short or feel it a little bit small, but the construction is excellent and the ability to move it to different parts of your upper body and across the back of your shoulders is manageable because the strap is wide and comfortable. The sling part itself is extremely well-made. The lining is smooth and the little toes and toenails can’t get caught on the totally smooth lining fabric because it cannot snag. That was an extremely thoughtful thing to do. I love that Somebody realized that they don’t want any little toes and toenails getting damaged or hurt because then the dogs will not want to sit in the carrier, and that they took the time to line this so beautifully so that the outside is soft, discreet cotton, and the inside is slippery and cool and safe. I thought the snaps were a nice touch, there are three plastic snaps that go across the top of the carrier to keep the dog safe inside, but there is enough room for the dog to poke their head out of one of the openings and still not fall out. The reason why these plastic snaps are so thoughtful is they make very little noise, unlike the Velcro that is used for many carriers, which is terrifyingly loud and scary for dogs to hear so close to their heads. The fact that the snaps are plastic may or may not make them more durable, I don’t know, but They certainly won’t rust when you wash it. And they don’t have any sharp edges. They make the carrier very easy to open and close. You can glance down and see your pet very easily even if they’re lying down at the bottom. I love that There is a phone pocket! You can’t even buy a phone carrier for this price. So in some ways you’re getting a phone carrier with a free dog carrier attached lol. The fabric is so soft, which is very important for me because I have a nerve condition and I cannot stand fabrics that itch or are artificial. This is a soft light gray cotton. It is not stretchy, which actually makes it sturdier and less likely to dig into your back or shoulder and more likely to sit properly. I washed it in cold water today and let it air dry, it dried very quickly and it did not shrink. It is very lightweight which is super important because I am elderly, and cannot carry any weight other than my dog. I love this dog carrier and I never feel like I love what I get from Amazon it’s either tolerable or I accept it or I just give it away. This surprised me and made me want to share. By the way, my dog is a two-year-old 5 1/2 pound Chihuahua. I got the small. I don’t know if I had gotten a larger size if the strap would’ve been longer. Perhaps only the carrying part would have been larger. Depending on your dog’s age and personality, that will determine how comfortable they are lying in the sling, but as soon as you start moving, whether or not you’re cleaning the kitchen , and you don’t want to leave them when they’re feeling sick, or they’re just a baby, or you just need the comfort of a warm animal against your body, this is definitely the carrier to get. I’ve wasted money on other things, this is a purchase I’m finally proud of. I hope it works for you too. This is my fourth dog carrier and the only one i am keeping. The others were too cumbersome, or the dog could not lie down at the bottom and sleep, or the angle was wrong, and they were all more expensive! Thank you to the company for thinking of all the details and making this so affordable. The only suggestion I would make for improvement is to not sew that care tag that all fabric items have into the bottom of the lining. It’s visually discreet because it’s on the inside however, it doesn’t feel soft. I wish that it had been sown elsewhere so that it has no contact with my animal’s body. And lastly, this carrier does not have that awful chemical smell that so many things have. It has no smell at all. I think this is gonna last the lifetime of my pet, and I hope that’s a very long time. Happy snuggly days ahead to us all! 🙂 UPDATE: I found that after washing this carrier, the tag inside was soft. No longer stiff. And I attached a video so you can see I took my guy whale watching with me and it was perfect. I forgot i had it on. I stood with him for 4 hours on the windy boat and he was fine the whole time inside. (Ok watch the video, maybe we won’t go again lol.) Read more

It is very soft and comfortable for your pet. The wide strap also fits comfortably and securely over your shoulder. I noticed immediately the quality of the fabric and the good workmanship that went into it. The black and white checked lining gives it an extra touch. My pup likes it too. Read more

Great carrier for our new puppy. Allows us to still go places and not leave her. Sturdy, attractive and comfortable. Read more

The media could not be loaded. So, I got this pet sling — technically, it was a return — but I figured, hey, why not give it a try? My cat was mildly suspicious and my small dog looked at me like, “You’ve got to be kidding.” First impression: it’s actually really soft and surprisingly sturdy. The classic pocket is nice for treats or, in my case, emergency snacks (don’t judge). The strap feels strong and doesn’t dig into your shoulder, which is great since my “model” refused to stay still for more than three seconds. It’s meant for pets between 3–10 lbs, but let’s just say my cat weighs emotionally more than that. Still, it held up fine. Perfect for short trips, vet runs, or just pretending your pet is a stylish accessory. The color (grey) is neutral and doesn’t show fur too badly — a big win in my house. Would I recommend it? Yep — just make sure your pet is onboard with the idea of being carried like a fuzzy loaf of bread. Pros: Soft, comfortable fabric Handy front pocket Adjustable strap with good support Great for small dogs or cats that don’t mind being carried Cons: Not ideal for heavier or wiggly pets Getting them into the sling might be a full-body workout Mine came as a return, so it had… “extra character” Overall, 10/10 for laughs and convenience — and 11/10 for the comedy of trying to get my cat to cooperate.

Roomy, sturdy, secure, good value. Very pleased Read more

Easily the best purchase I’ve made in a long time! First, I had no idea what me and my newly adopted pet were missing until I saw someone carrying their pup in a Tomkas and had to know more! I ordered one before I got to my car and have used it multiple times a day ever since! My pet feels very safe and secure in it. It’s fabric and construction is perfect and high quality. It’s thick enough to be comfortable for my pet but not so thick to be hot. It’s easy to clean and folds up small when not in use. Such a wonderful buy! Read more
