Patterned Fleece Dog Sling – Tartan, Check & Animal Prints

Some dogs were simply born to be carried, and they'd like to arrive in style. Whether it's the Christmas market, the train home or the last stretch of a long walk, they get to be right where they want to be: up close, warm, and very much part of the plan.

Handmade in Worcestershire by Hugo and Ted, this sling comes in soft, breathable patterned polar fleece, from classic tartans and checks to leopard, zebra and cow. A wide strap spreads the weight comfortably and the pouch moulds around your dog so they can settle in.

Why you'll love it

• Eight prints, from Red Tartan to Snow Leopard
• Soft, cosy, breathable polar fleece
• Wide shoulder strap for comfortable carrying
• Machine washable on a gentle cycle

Choosing your size

• Standard: the one to pick if you're unsure, and it suits most adults. Ready made and dispatched within 5 working days.
• Petite: a shorter strap so your dog sits higher, for petite or smaller-framed owners. Made to order, so allow 10–12 working days.
• Long Strap: extra strap length for taller owners or around UK size 16 and above. The pouch stays the same size. Made to order, so allow 10–12 working days.

The strap isn't adjustable, so choose the length that suits your height.

Good to know

• A sling is a carrying aid rather than a hands-free carrier. Keep a hand supporting your dog's back and body, and don't let their full weight hang unsupported for long.
• For small dogs up to 10kg.
• Ordering for Christmas? Order Standard by 10 December and Petite or Long Strap by 1 December.
• Made and sent direct by Hugo and Ted, a small team in Worcestershire.
