A dog carrier you can rely on, that still looks like a handbag. The Haven Dog Carrier Handbag is a smart cream tote with a firm, flat base, a soft cushion and a padded shoulder strap, made for the moments when little legs have done enough.

Busy high streets, train journeys, the walk home after a long day out: your dog stays settled, comfortable and close to you, and you get a bag you are genuinely happy to carry.

Why it's different

Most soft carriers sag in the middle the moment you lift them, leaving your dog folded into a dip. The Haven's firm base holds its shape, so longer dogs like miniature dachshunds can lie flat and stretch out properly.

Inside, a safety clip attaches to your dog's harness, a zip-open mesh top lets them pop their head out or rest under cover, and a side window keeps the air moving. Outside, it simply looks like a lovely cream handbag.

Key benefits

  • Firm, flat base: holds its shape so your dog can lie down comfortably
  • Soft cushion included: a plump pad for them to curl up on
  • Mesh top and side window: fresh air and a view of the world
  • Inner safety clip: attaches to your dog's harness for peace of mind
  • Carry it your way: padded handles, or the detachable padded shoulder strap
  • Handy outside pockets: room for treats, poo bags and your phone

Ideal for dogs who

  • Are longer in the body, like miniature dachshunds, and need a flat base to lie on
  • Tire on longer days out but still want to come along
  • Feel happier close to you in busy places
  • Travel with you by train or bus

Why we love it

Mila has never been one for being carried. She loves the adventure far too much and wants to be on her own four paws for every walk. But friends of ours, especially miniature dachshund owners, kept asking us for a carrier they could really rely on: sturdy, comfortable for their dog and smart enough to take everywhere. So we went looking, and the Haven is the one we chose for them.

Size & fit

  • Outside measurements: 41cm long, 19cm wide and 31cm high.
  • Your dog should be able to sit, turn around and lie down comfortably inside.
  • The firm, flat base gives longer dogs, like miniature dachshunds, room to lie flat.
  • Not sure about the fit? Email us at info@chillypup.co.uk with your dog's length and height and we will help.

How to use

  1. Place the cushion in the base, and add a favourite blanket if you like.
  2. Clip the inner safety clip to your dog's harness.
  3. Let your dog settle, then zip the mesh top closed or leave it open so they can pop their head out.
  4. Carry it by the handles, or clip on the strap to wear it over your shoulder or across your body.

Frequently asked questions

Will my dog fit?

The Haven measures 41cm long, 19cm wide and 31cm high on the outside. Your dog should be able to sit, turn around and lie down comfortably. If you would like a hand checking, email us with your dog's length and height.

Is it suitable for miniature dachshunds?

Yes, that is exactly who we chose it for. The firm, flat base holds its shape when you lift the bag, so longer dogs can lie flat rather than being folded into a dip.

How does the safety clip work?

There is a short clip inside the bag. Attach it to your dog's harness, not their collar, so they stay safely inside even if they try to hop out.

What comes in the box?

The Haven carrier handbag in cream, a soft cushion for the base and a detachable padded shoulder strap.

How do I clean it?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then leave to air dry.

How do I contact you about my order?

You can email us at info@chillypup.co.uk and we’ll aim to reply within 1–2 working days.
