Is this safe for traveling with my "hot dog" from. Northeast to florida. Does it strap the pet in?

In my opinion it is safe. I like to line it with blankets for more comfort on longer rides. It has a short leash that can attach to their harness. This allows you to keep the top "window" open without the dog getting out. I had to adjust the length of it for my dog. I hope this was helpful.

I didn't realize I could strap the carrier, but we made it home with no problems. I picked up my kitty in Show Low, AZ and drove back to San Diego; average mph 85 - 90, but it was mostly desert.

There is a loop on the outside of the carrier that you can put a seatbelt through. There is also a loop on the inside that you can attach to a dogs harness (not collar) if you want to limit their movement in the carrier. We buckle the carrier in if it's on a seat or put it on the floor of our minivan between the back 2 seats. We don't strap our dog in in the carrier because she tends to lay or sit down anyways. I hope that helps.

The carrier easily is strapped with a seat belt, even a shoulder strap seat belt. I there is also a tether strap inside the carrier to secure your dog. This has been great for our dachshund who is not a good car rider.

I wouldn't check the dog in it - the case is too soft and might get crushed. If the dog will be traveling in a seat next to you, maybe. I am not sure if the carrier is small enough to stow under the seat - it may be a bit too tall for that.

This pet carrier is bigger than it looks, I have a Terrier mix and it's comfortable for sleeping, but I would not recommended putting a strap on it. Hope this answers your question. Thanks.

Probably but I wouldn't recommend it. This carries 3 people which may be a little much for a jet ski or wave runner. We have only used it with our boat. We can't keep the kids off the hot dog - it's awesome!

I never flew with it. The shoulder strap hurt my shoulder and it was too floppy for the pet, so I used my hard plastic carriers going to the vet and stored this one only as a backup carrier.

I'm not certain just what you mean. I have had NO problems with mine and my lil dog loves riding in it. She has a swollen hear so I can't actually walk here on a leash very far.

It has a hook type clasp on the end, you could probably fix something up that would allow you to connect both of then to the security strap. My dog is just under 10 lbs and fits in fine, she is able to lay on her side and extend her legs in it or if curled up she takes up about 1/2 of the space so you might be able to get to 5 lb dogs in it especially is they sleep curled up, 2 could probably set in it for riding.

I believe it is airline compliant, but I would not use it to fly my pets. No space for water or them to relieve themselves

It would not be a good idea to try to carry the Sof-Krate with a dog inside unless it is a very small and calm dog. The unit is well-made and a good value, however, it is not designed to be carried like a rigid plastic carrier.

The straps will likely fit over the handle of your suitcase, but we only recommend carrying your pet securely on your shoulder.

Yes it is IATA Compliant. I flew with my dog from Honolulu to Dulles. Then she flew from Dulles to Johannesburg. We had NO problems :)

Not really. The dog can move around inside the vehicle. The harness attaches to the shoulder restraint of the seatbelt, which allows a decent bit of movement. My pup can easily get to a window. We have, however, been in a fairly serious car accident with her in the harness and with the sudden movement the shoulder restraint engages, keeping your pup in place. Thankfully she was perfectly safe, and I attribute that completely to the Kurgo harness, because she would have gone flying otherwise.

As long as the seat can b pulled down to connect the security strap that goes around the seat itself.There are two needed straps..the one around the headrest and another one that straps around the seat itself. If the dog is light enough and not too jumpy you could probably get away with just using the headrest strap I suppose but it is intended to have the seat strap used.I have a 30 pound king charles spaniel I (lazily) just threw the headrest strap for one day..it collapsed and poor thing got so scared so I know he is too large to get away with that lolSo my suggestion is if you are able to open the back seat to use that seat strap it would def work.Hope I was some help..

There is only one security strap. I have a small SUV and the seat is very tight fit. I don't think I would put two dogs in it. My 10lb schnoodle just fits

If your dogs are OK together, this carrier would be fine to contain both (lots of room for a couple of 2 lb. dogs). I'm wondering if you can get by with paying for just one dog since they'd fit in one regulation carrier? There is a mesh (expanding) pocket on one end and a side pocket. I can put a leash in one & a baggie of snacks, collapsible water dish & poop bags in the pockets. I store 2 folded pee pads under the removeable lambs wool (faux) liner inside the carrier. This carrier is well made & the inside washes out easily if needed. I love the wheels, although with your bouncy light-weight dogs, it might be a bit tippy as you pull it. I have no problem with pulling my 19 lb. dashound mix. Happy travels!

Yes! I travel ed with 8 week PupPy who weighed 5 lbs. Had bowl, chew toy and blanket inside with him for 3 hours. He was so comfortable no one but flight attendants knew I had a dog with me. It was easy on my shoulder moving through airport also. Loved it and highly recommend it.
