Large Cat Carrier Soft Side Pet Carrier for Kitten Puppy Collapsible Travel Small Dog Carrier Backpack TSA Airline Approved Pet Carriers for Under 20 lbs, Gray

I carry a small dog with me much of the time, in a carrier with a should strap, because she has a knee problem. Most carriers have a metal or plastic strut to form their shape. This gives them a nice solid shape. The problem is that this rigid rod, under the pressure of the weight of the animal, the pressure against my body, and the strain of being repeatedly lifted by the strap, soon breaks, bens, or pokes through the fabric to pose a hazard. Six months is typical, one year is a long time to last. I have tried seen or eight carefully selected different styles and designs of bag. That's where this bag comes in. I was looking for one like it for a while. It has not rigid components. That removes the failure point of every other bag I have used. The other failure point is the zipper, and this bag has robust zippers- a critical thing to look for in a bag. I'm not sure how the bag holds its shape. It does deform easily, but the weight of the animal and the support of the strap cause the bag to stay expanded into a rectangle. Sometimes it gets dented in a bit and I pull on the fabric to give the maximum interior volume. I pay attention to not collapsing the bag with pressure on it. It's a minor issue a small, unimportant inconvenience in exchange for the miracle of a bag that holds it shape with no rigid structural elements that break. It's also a plus. The bag will change shape to fit in any space, with or without a dog in it. (Without a dog in it, it can be stuffed into a smaller space than with a dog.) It has plenty of clear plastic windows. If my dog were writing this review, that would be her main happiness with it. She loves looking out the windows and prefers it to all her other bags for this reason, even though it is a bit smaller. She is a 7.5 pound Chihuahua. She is picky and will refuse to go in a bag that she is not comfortable in, but I wouldn't use this bag for a much bigger animal. If they had a slightly bigger model I would get that. But the dog is happy with it, and prefers it to much larger carriers. It has zippered doors on each side and the whole top is also a big door, but I never use it The dog is always very eager to go in the bag, since it means an adventure. She tries to push her way in even before I have fully opened the zipper. She is, though, hesitant to leave the bag away from home. If it is chilly or noisy, she won't come out. That's the best testimonial for this bag. One shortcoming is a lack of pockets. There is one tiny mesh pocket ton top. It's nice to have storage in the bag, but I suppose the magical tensions based structure of the bag isn't compatible with storage compartments. I put the stuff- jackets, leash, treats, - in another bag that also has my stuff i n it. It's not a big deal. The plus is that without rigid metal rods, without stuffed storage pockets, the bag is extremely light. In spite of the windows, the black bag also conceals the dog from casual view. People don't know I am carrying a dog which sometimes is good. It's not obviously a dog carrier. rather than a shoulder bag. I've been using it for three months now, three or four days a week, and it looks like new. No issues. No broken zippers, the bane of carriers No unravelling seams. No broken should strap clips. No ripped mesh. And no, no, no bent or poke-your-eye-out rigid supports.

We used this to transport our 2 cats. They both fit comfortably, no complaints or crazy thrashing trying to escape. They quickly made it into a bed for normal use as well. We also used this once for transporting our Korean Toy Poodle and she loved it as well.

i’ve used this several times to transport my cats to appointments and moves. it’s lightweight and large enough to fit two of my full grown cats into it. the overall quality seems to be pretty good, it’s well constructed, and i’ve never had an issue carrying the cats around by the straps. the only thing i’m not the biggest fan of is the plastic walls on the sides. i feel like it would be better to continue the ventilated mesh all the way around. most cats aren’t a fan of being tricked into a bag and then taken on a car adventure. one of my cats will start panting and he sits with his face close to the plastic wide, and the whole thing will fog up from his breath.

11/10 recommend this cat carrier, my cat Lola helps herself right in & has never been more cozy & content than in this thing. It’s also airline certified which I love & she spent nearly 36hrs in the car & didn’t make a peep. If your cat acts like they are being murdered during travel try something like this, cats love bags & this feels very much like a bag. When I got it I just left the top open & withing minutes Lola made herself right at home in it & took a lil lick & nap. The only downside is this crate most definitely would not fit two cats comfortably unless they were kittens. My cat isn’t even 10lbs & she fits nice & snug just enough room to move around. But other than the size that isn’t really even an issue, the material is nice & durable & it’s easy to clean & store. I’m glad for this, it’s a lot less traumatizing than the crate.

I am impressed with the quality of this carrier. It is lightweight but is big enough to be comfortable for either of my cats who are 13 and 15 pounds when either of them is in it (it only accommodates one average sized cat). It comes with a shoulder strap but I was able to comfortably hang it from my shoulder just using the strap that's attached to the carrier. The fact that the top zips open and you can put your cat in and then just zip it closed it is a huge plus for me since it eliminates the battle it used to take to get one of the cats into my old side entry carrier. It is also pretty easy to fold once you get the hang of it which make it easy to store. I recommend this pet carrier.

My cat is very comfortable in this. Its easy to carry.

Although my Grand cat hates being in a pet carrier for any length of time, he tolerates this large cat carrier. It has several windows he can look out and has many ways to get him into the carrier (which is always difficult!). Would highly recommend for those who have grumpy cats!

I bought this to prepare for a set of twins I was adopting. Luckily they were both super tiny, but within a month or so this will be a one-cat carrier. I spent the money on it hoping to be able to port the twins around together, but alas, it will not be so.
