Bought this for my cat who outgrew her previous soft sided carrier. This one is a lot roomier. She can turn around in it and shes calmer as a result. I like that it has top and side entry options. Much better quality than I anticipated for the price.
I didnt think it needed them but mine came with 2 rods and nowhere for them to go. Looking now at the QandA section...some come with rods already inserted, some come with rods but no slits to put them anywhere and others dont get rods at all?? I dont know yet if Im going to keep this. Seems like if it has things you need to do, instructions should come with it or at least it should be obvious where these things go.
Perfect for traveling, fits right under the seat like a personal item. This was the only bag with appropriate measurements. Great safety clips on each set of zippers so our cat stayed extra safe.
I have ordered and returned more pet carriers for air travel than I count. Finding one that is 9 high or less is next to impossible. I wanted one on wheels but gave up on that a long time ago. The first thing I liked about this carrier when I saw it on is that in the description it gave the size requirements of many of the most commonly used airlines. Even SW Airlines which seem to me to be the most stringent. This carrier does meet those guidelines. I took my 10 cat (Sam) to FL from Kansas City with me on SW Airlines in this carrier and no one questioned it. It IS small. Sam could hardly fit in it, but once in, he could turn around in it which surprised me. This carrier IS larger than the one SW airlines sells which is ridiculously small, not nearly as comfortable and priced higher. I really like the net sides because of the give they provide and Sam could push his head against the net to enable himself to turn around. Plus, it gave him a great view of everything going on around him which he seemed to enjoy. Unfortunately, Sam did poo in it right at the end of the flight. Understandable since he had not been able to go all day. I must say, it was easy to clean the carrier. I pulled out the lining on the base of the carrier and after wiping off as much of the excrement that I could, I washed it in the washing machine. Came out great. This would be more comfortable for a smaller cat, but I will use it for any air travel in the future. I will not, however, use it as his carrier for any other kind of transports. As for needing wheels to get around the airport with a 10 cat, I used my smallest carry-on piece of luggage that was on 4 wheels and attached Sams carrier with the strap on the carrier which serves this purpose. This worked ok. The base of the carrier is a bit larger than the top of the luggage so I had to be careful that Sam was situated correctly, but other than that it was a very do-able way to go. I would recommend this carrier if you need it for air travel. I have not found any others that would work.
The mesh part on all sides are very fragile and my rabbit tore it in literally 2 seconds. Another side tore just from him putting his paws up on it. Overall it seems nice and comfy but the mesh didnt stand up longer then 2 seconds to a rabbit, definitely not going to be secure for a cat or small dog or ferret!

Well made

Great breathability for my pup.
When not in use very portable and easy to store.
Love it
Arrived as pictured. Love the additional pocket. Accepted by Delta Airlines
Mala calidad
Mala calidad. El zipper se descompuso la primera vez que la use.

Good for carry-on pet!
No problems using to travel with my cat with American Airlines! It was a breeze! Would recommend!

Easy to transport
Our dog slept in it the whole trip and was comfortable! Nice that they can see out.
