Worn as an easy one shoulder ‘sash style’ sling, you position your small dog inside in a seated, upright position. Rocket Slings
By Abby
HISTORY:
I adopted my smallest dog in December 2018, Rocket, rescued from a hoarding house and due to the unsanitary conditions, he lost an eye. Rocket was unsocialized and scared of everything. Daily walks were already staple in my household with larger dogs, a
nd I did not want to leave Rocket behind. Rocket got to participate in walks and enjoy fresh outdoor air as a passenger in a sling. Once Rocket grew braver, he chose to start walking and now runs. I still wear a sling on every walk, weather permitting, usually carrying one of my foster pups who are usually ‘differently-abled’ or elderly. DESCRIPTION:
Rocket Slings are soft material carrying slings for small dogs and very mellow cats, and any other pet that might like a hammock-like sling. Your pup can stick their head out the side and front feet too. Each sling has a front pocket for cell phones, treats, keys or whatever fits.
*Note the pocket sizes are different on each sling. MATERIALS:
Most slings are made with one layer Fleece and second layer Jersey, Satin, Flannel, Linen or Cotton. Some slings are made with both layers Fleece for extra warmth in colder months. (*Note, double Fleece slings can be too hot in warm weather, for you and the pup)
DIMENSIONS & CARE:
Each sling measures approximately 29”-31” Long by 14”-16” Wide at its widest, near the bottom.
*No two slings are identical as they are handmade and can vary in size due to fabric thickness and cut.
*Slings are machine washable and safe for dryer. Anti-wrinkle modes will help it come out flat, but ironing may be necessary for the 100% cotton slings.
*Most smaller dogs under 15-16 lbs. will fit but not guaranteed. Use your best judgement and please consider the comfort of your dog!
*NOT recommended if you dog has any hind leg ailments, spinal issues, or otherwise needs firm support, a sling could cause pain for your dog in most carry positions. PRICING:
$25 each if chosen from available inventory.
* No guarantees for special pattern/color requests. SHIPPING:
$8 flat shipping rate in the U.S for one sling, then $2 per additional sling in order.
*Shipping outside of the U.S. will have to be determined per request and location. A quote will be given before payment is expected. CHOOSING A SLING:
