Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If your puppy is on a leash and sitting on your lap I think it is fine, if it is legal, to take Taffy on the bus. In the US we have to follow the laws and most dogs would have to be in a pet carrier to ride on public transportation. Bring water with you and food if the trip is a long one. But I think Taffy will be fine. I wish you the best!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Princess and for providing a picture, it's helpful. Yes, it does look like she fits in it, but I am concerned that it may not be high enough for her. You'd like for the carrier to be big enough that the dog can turn around in. I'm not sure if you are planning to take her on a flight; if you are, you should check with the airlines to get their rules around pet transport and the requirements for the dog and the carrier. Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is okay to bring her outside inside a carrier, but she is not yet ready to interact with other dogs or walk around in places where other dogs have been. As long as she is contained in her carrier, that should be okay. I hope this has helped answer your question! Piper is a very cute little girl.
