Having your dog with you is great, although it does take some adjustments in the way you travel and other things you do, just as traveling with small children would. But nothing makes a hotel room seem more like home than to have your best canine friend with you. Here's how to make it happen with the least amount of hassles. The Small Dog Bag Invest in a Sherpa dog bag. Created by a woman who wanted to carry her small dog around with her, this sturdy bag comes in an array of solid colors and various shapes and versions.
Some models have strong mesh sides which make for a very airy carry bag.
However for most travel, this see-through bag isn't ideal. I opted for a blue Sherpa bag with one solid canvas side, two mesh ends with flaps that can be rolled up like shades, and a mesh side which I keep against my body. I place two hand towels on the bottom of Chewie's Sherpa bag for cushioning, which come in handy in a number of travel situations. The towels also make good coverups when I sneak him into restaurants. I place the bag under the table, unzip it, reach in and pull him up onto my lap.
