Q: Are all three sizes ready to ship?
A: No. Only the Standard size is ready-made. Standard slings are kept in stock, with dispatch aimed within 5 working days. Petite and Long Strap slings are made to order, especially for you by Hugo & Ted’s Worcestershire team. Please allow 10–12 working days for production before dispatch, excluding weekends and bank holidays. These are preparation and dispatch timeframes. Shipping transit time is additional, and making times may vary during busy periods.
Q: Is this suitable for puppies and older dogs?
A: Yes, it can be a useful carrying option for small puppies and older dogs who need a little break, provided they’re within the recommended weight limits and comfortable being carried. For dogs with injuries, mobility concerns or medical conditions, please consult your vet before use.
Q: Can I use the sling hands-free?
A: No. Hugo & Ted slings are designed as carrying aids rather than structured, hands-free carriers. Always support your dog’s back and body with your arm, including their rear end. Never allow their full weight to hang unsupported in the sling.
Q: Can my dog stay in the sling for long periods?
A: The sling is intended for shorter periods of supported carrying. Your dog’s comfort comes first, so give them regular opportunities to move around and rest naturally.
Q: What if my dog isn’t used to being carried?
A: Introduce the sling gradually at home, using positive reinforcement to help your dog feel comfortable. Allow them to get used to the sensation before heading out, and never force them into an uncomfortable position.
