Izzy (Bichon) loves to go everywhere with me - problem is due to her allergies I have to limit her exposure to things outside......like the ground.
And especially in winter, I do not want her walking on unfamiliar grounds unless I am 100% sure there is no chemicals there.
She does have doggie boots - however I am also looking into a doggie purse or carry pouch.
I have looked at Daba Doo's Pooch Pack - but do not know how she would adjust to it.
Izzy weighs right about 12 lbs, so she isn't the "toy" sized that most "puppy purses" are aimed at. Like this bag I looked at - for dogs up to 12 lbs, which may or may not be big enough for her. And she's not a purse puppy, she's never been in one much. Well pretty much not at all really in the 2 years I've had her, so I am taking her comfort levels into consideration. She has been in some plastic/nylon carriers when transported places occasionally, so has some experience with them.
I'd appreciate any input, or if anyone has any experiences with any products that would be great. I'm not looking to make Izzy into a "purse puppy", but she wants so badly to go with me, yet she is literally afraid to walk in the grass outside in the summer due to her allergies. It's sad.
