KARIPET is the original front pack style carrier for any type of pet 25 pounds and under. KARIPET's design was developed to cater to motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts and now encompasses pet lovers of every walk of life, from horseback riders to RV travelers to wheelchair users. Our specialized design is available in 13 sizes and can fit most pets. We have 3 specifically designed for Dachshund and long body pets.

KARIPET is dual purpose -- it can also be attached to a car seat for your pet to ride safely in your vehicle, held securely in its seat.

The KARIPET front-pack carrier is strapped very securely against your chest with adjustable straps of nylon webbing that extend from the front of the KARIPET over the pet's shoulders, over your shoulders, crossed behind your back, then forward and buckled into each side of the KARIPET. Your pet is provided excellent back support. Adjustable Velcro on each side of the KARIPET holds the pet safely. On the deeper seated carriers for dachshunds and other long-bodied pets we have added extra Velcro on each side, which gives long bodies additional back support.

Older animals and those with injuries can be secure without pressure on tender limbs. KARIPET is safe and comfortable for you and your pet.

What Makes the Kari-Pet So Different and Versatile?

The Kari-Pet is a front-pack pet carrier that lets you take your pet for a walk, bike ride, on a snowmobile, etc. If your pet has a hurt limb the Kari-Pet is a wonderful way to keep your pet immobile and still take him/her with you. You can shop at a lot of places where you can't take them on a leash or in your arms; however, it is not recommended to take your pet around food.

Measurements:
Measuring your pet is very important to ensure that the Karipet you choose provides the right support and level of comfort. Weight should be used as a guideline only, as it will not give an accurate length or width. There are two measurements that need to be made in order to get the correct fit. Measure the back from the base of the neck to the start of the tail. Also measure around the chest 1/2" behind the front legs.

When fitting your pet for the first few times, it helps to talk soothingly to him/her to get them assured of the fun experience. You can fit the Kari-Pet on your pet when they are laying across your lap or standing on the floor. Open the Kari-Pet flat and lay BACK (rounded end) on the back of your pet, putting the tail through the opening. Fold FRONT (straight end) between the hind legs and under the stomach.

Adjust the Velcro(TM) tabs securely so it's snug around your pet. Overlap the tabs evenly from side to side so the opening for the tail stays in the center. Once this is done, press the tabs firmly to secure.

Safety:
There are two strips of Velcro(TM) on each side of the Karipet to hold the pet safely. On the deeper-seated ones for dachshunds and other really long-bodied pets, we have three strips of Velcro (TM) on each side, which gives them excellent back support.

Note back and chest measurements for custom fits, otherwise leave blank.

Cross Braces are also available to separate the shoulder straps and distribute the weight evenly. This addition to the Karipet is the best feature. You don't fumble for the straps and the carrier does not ride up on your neck.
