Abstract: A pet carrier comprises a sling of flexible sheet material having a body portion with holes for receiving the pet's legs and straps extending from the sides of the body portion which are drawn over the pet's body and secured together so that the carrier may be slung over a user's shoulder or arm or carried in the hand. The carrier provides comfortable and secure support for the pet. A pair of restraining straps are secured to the body portion outwardly of the leg receiving holes with "Velcro" fastening tapes adjustably connecting the restraining straps for snug engagement over the back of a pet to prevent the pet from retracting its legs from the holes thereby securely retaining the pet in the carrier.
