Expandable Pet Carrier: NOBLE DUCK Soft-Sided Cat Dog Carrier Airline Approved Small Medium Large Portable Travel Up to 25 Lbs Black

Best Carrier for Traveling
I don’t write reviews often but this product definitely deserves some recognition. For reference, I did go with the bigger size option that is still within the guidelines for TSA/airline approval.We have a tall 17lb Italian Greyhound (often mistaken for a small Whippet) and I was quite worried what could accommodate him for an upcoming flight. I did so much research on different carriers, sizes, styles, etc. Ultimately, this was the only one that seemed to check all of the boxes and at an affordable price.Pros: It’s tall but can also squish down for fitting under an airplane seat. The tented-top also has a small mesh screen that opens so that my dog can sit up with his head out of the carrier, if needed. A tether is built in as well that I attached to my dog’s harness, which kept him secure and contained, even with the top mesh unzipped (I had him attempt to jump out a couple times but the tether kept him contained and without too much slack that would cause him to partially come out of the carrier but also hurt him. He’s safe and secure with this one!)My favorite feature on this product is the expandable side to allow more for more room for him inside, when not in motion (couldn’t use this when carrying him around.) Having him in-flight just became easier with the ability to have his carrier under the seat but also allow for extra space for him to stretch out. It unzips and pops out with ease for easy setup as well as packing away quickly when in a hurry. It is all mesh so while it’s not as sturdy as the main area of the carrier, the mesh is a more durable style that still held up well. The soft plush mat for him to lay on inside not only covers the main area, but this expandable area as well. My dog prefers the main area of the carrier but it gives him another option, especially if he’s looking to stretch out a little more.Con: This carrier offers so much that it was really hard to find something lacking with it. However, storage is a bit short here. There are only 2 small (very small!) areas for storage. It at least holds his leash and waste bags but for anything else, I’ll have to stow away in another bag.Overall, I’m very impressed and this carrier exceeded my expectations! Most importantly, my boy is comfortable and WANTS to be in carrier. He has always hated any other one we’ve tried in the past. This is perfect for those with a dog under 20lbs but maybe on the taller side.

Good size
Very nice study for our 9 lb cat easy to carry with the shoulder strap. I’ll buy a 2nd one soon

This is a nice pet carrier
This pet carrier is very nice. It has enough space for a mini pin/chiwi and its comfy and airy enough. I like that it’s foldable helping in portability and fast put away. Everything is good and my dog loves it has never sat ever inside a carrier and here he lays lol. He sees it when hes so done moving around in a suv round and immediately tries to get in and as soon as I put his blanket he’s done. Normally he’s a barker but being inside calms him down more. The only two things I would change or improve on is the top sometimes folds inside on itself so you do have to fix it. And the full mesh window should have been placed in front of the carrier and the removable or rollable covered mesh window should have been placed in the back. Other than that it’s nice.

Quality
Purchased this for my 6 week old Miniature Schnauzer. It’s great for now unless I want to put the shoulder strap on and carry it over my shoulder. There is only 1 hook to hook the shoulder strap to. Should be 2, 1 on each side. Apparently QC missed the fact that a hook was missing. Too complicated to fold up and put back in the box to return it so I guess I’ll keep it and carry in my arthritic hands!
