petisfam Top Load Cat Carrier Bag for Medium Cats and Small Dogs. Airline Approved, Collapsible, Escape Proof and Auto-Safe. Easy to get cat in and Make Vet Visit Less Stressful

I purchased this because I wanted a kennel that could pack compactly for a Boundary Waters trip. My elderly 11 pound dog has always loved going to the BWCA, but he has intervertebral disc disease. I was thinking if we didn’t take him, he may never get to go again, but I wanted to be prepared to pack him out If he couldn’t handle the portage or sitting in the canoe. I did not expect much for the price. I expected it to only last for the trip, but I have been impressed! The kennel can be fully collapsed, if you unzip the flaps on both sides and remove the floor. With the flaps zipped up, the kennel holds its shape well, and there is a smaller zippered door on one side for the dog to go in and out. The bottom has a soft cover over a sturdy, impermeable plastic corrugated sheet that gives some insulation from the cold ground and is easy to take apart for washing. I did end up packing the dog out on the way out using the shoulder strap, because his back looked stiff. I was a little worried about what would happen if the canoe capsized while the dog was in the canoe. The top zips wide open, though, so I had the dog in his life jacket and unzipped the top so he wouldn’t be trapped in it in an accident (which didn’t happen, thankfully). The flooring kept him comfortable and dry in the canoe, even though there was some water on the bottom of the canoe. We continue to use the kennel. We let the dog sleep in it in our room, and I’ve taken it apart for washing twice. It’s a lot easier to carry around than the hard side kennel.

Top opening allows me to get my not cooperative 6 lb cat into the carrier. Easy to carry. And easy to use with a pee cloth cuz my babe looses her bowels within 60 seconds of entry.

Perfect carrier for small dog or cat. We purchased it to take on an airplane and worked perfectly. Lots of mesh so our cat could see what was going on. Three different ways to unzip to remove or put your animal in the carrier. Love the back strap that you can put over the handles of your carry on to transport around airport. Great color. He liked laying on and in it before our trip.

Nicely constructed with many zippers to easily get the cat in and out of the carrier

Our cat loves this! I was very concerned when it referred to it as “medium” because I wasn’t sure what that meant in cat sizes - I haven’t had a cat in years. I definitely knew our Sadie is tiny and maybe would grow to fit it; she is 5 pounds and this carrier gives her room to treat it like a crate, move around etc. She’s not cramped at all but I can see a cat that might be a little bit bigger would feel like it’s more of a carrying case than an escape domain. It does fall flat and I love that about it but in order to keep it sturdy one certain parts are unzipped, you have to definitely keep the non-meshed parts of it zipped shut. I actually ran the seatbelt through parts of it and it was completely stable in the car. The inside liner is absolutely a very thick, plush liner that helps keep the carrier stable and solid. When everything is unzipped it might seem flimsy but if you choose how you unzip it it is actually an awesome carrier and I’m so happy about the purchase! I chose green and it’s kind of a mint/sage sort of green which I very much like. I haven’t washed it yet but it is a very sturdy canvas that looks like it’s easily wipeable and I’ve already used my Cricut to embellish it with iron-on letters that impressed my vet very much! :)

I am traveling with my cat and it’s very specious for what it does, and for how we are traveling. Wanted something sturdy, safe, and something that fits the requirements for southwest. Flying on the 737-700 and the 737-Max 8. The carrier fit on both. No issues. Southwest is short on leg room so it’s a sacrifice on your comfort but you get your furbaby to travel safely.

The cat loves it and just hangs out in it

Es de calidad el material y su base de abajo es acojinable, la recomiendo el color muy bonito encatanda estoy

When flying it is very important to have a lot of area open for the pups to get air. This has the perfect amount of space for my dog, purse, iPad, snacks and fits under the seat of the plane. Winnie loves it. I have already ordered a second one of the same carrier incase I need another one if she chews up the zipper or somehow ruins this one. I love the pink and the sparkle of this carrier!

My cat really likes this carrier as it has mesh zipper sides to see through and easy to load her from the top. It was much more pleasant experience to the vet compared to my hard side plastic carrier.
