This is a repeat purchase, which probably says it all.
I had been reading reviews and looking for a carrier when a vet emergency mandated an immediate local purchase. I found this carrier in a local feed store, and it was the only one that had the features I was looking for–manageable size (big enough for cats, small enough to carry), structured enough to not envelope an animal, but with the flexibility to get squished a bit to fit in unyielding spaces.I bought this (for substantially more than they sell on Amazon) and have been happy with the purchase. More to the point, the cats are happy with the carrier. I leave it open in the living room in a place they associate with play, and I often find them resting or sleeping in the carriers.I have three cats, and the two smaller (10 lbs each) cats have made vet trips in one carrier. The sturdy clip-on strap hooks over the headrest in the car, and I clip the seat belt around the strap (not the carrier body).The base has a velcro’d-in, removable fabric-covered board that can be taken out to clean, and a soft sherpa-covered removable pad for washing. I bought a two-pack of spare pads. These are machine washable, but come out a bit roughened up–I’d recommend giving them a hand wash unless they get dire. And the replacements are inexpensive enough to dispose of a badly-soiled pad if that seems necessary.These collapse flat for storage if desired. I’m just leaving them out for the girls to hang in so that a trip is less traumatic. Seems to work. I didn’t hear a peep out of them during the last trip in. (Getting two cats in one carrier, however, was a bit of a clown act. I recommend getting both cats and the carrier in a small room with doors shut before you begin.I think my earlier shopping difficulty was trying to find something that would meet all my possible carrier needs, trying to find something convenience for a vet run AND comfortable for international travel with long layovers. Necessity taught me that the reality is we’ll need this for short local runs much more often than longer trips, and if I need to, I can get something different. For today, this ticks all the boxes.If you’re in the same quandary I was in, I can tell you that these are well-made, seem very affordable, and the cats are so comfortable in them they hang out there. Seemingly no negative associations. I have different colors in the event that I have to travel with three cats, so I can sort out who is where at a glance.

A Great Pet Carrier!
This is a well-designed pet carrier! I bought the medium sized one for my cat, Willow, and it is so much better than the hard plastic carrier I had used for years. It easily folds away for storage, it is very sturdy yet lighter than the old carrier, it is very comfy for my cat with its washable fluffy mat and she can easily peer out of the 3 sides of its strong mesh material. I love the zippered storage pocket that I use to store collapsible travel bowls and treats. It has sturdy handles and a detachable shoulder strap that make it easy to carry Willow. It has a zippered top and a zippered front opening that make it much easier to put my cat inside it plus I know that it is more difficult for her to possibly escape from, unlike the fear I always had that the front grill on her old carrier could pop off. I also like the instructions on how to board an airplane with Willow in her carrier too. It is thoughtfully designed too, especially with the strong velcro strips that securely hold both the bottom board and the fluffy mat in place so Willow isn’t sliding around inside her carrier. You will not regret buying this pet carrier!

Puppy was very comfortable
I flew to Kentucky from Colorado to pick up my puppy. This bag was awesome. I could it stuff it into my suitcase because it condensed so easily. But when I took it out in Kentucky to bring her back to Colorado it was large. She had plenty of room, and it was very durable. She was biting at it and it never ripped or broke. And the Sherpa padding below was comfortable so she could sleep during the flight.It looked nice, and it came with several pockets which was great for her water, pool, dog bags, food, and a toy.There was a removable shoulder strap, so there were multiple ways to hold her going through the airport. I would definitely recommend this product

Best cat carrier for air travel
I’ve had two of these carriers and love them, with one exception.Even the largest size (which I upgraded to a few months ago) fit under standard domestic flight seats, though it is cramped. It also fits well across the seat of a car, and the strap on the side is great for securing the carrier with a seat belt on longer trips.I have a 16 lb cat and he fits well inside the largest size and is able to turn around. He’s taken 2+ hour flights and 6+ hour drives in it.When not in use, the carrier can be folded flat (the same way it arrives in its packaging). The back pocket is great for keeping tags, medication, travel bowls, treats, etc. I also carry a plastic oral syringe to give water on long flights/ trips.The strap is not the most comfortable and could use a pad instead of the plastic piece.The carrier holds up well over time, and I had my first one for several years before upgrading to the next size (the largest). The only caveat is that if you’re not careful, and your cat is determined, they can tear the mesh on the side of the carrier.When I travel with my cat, he is often very mildly sedated, so it’s not a problem. But there have been a few times he has scratched the mesh of the original carrier and the mesh began to barely tear. That being said, I cannot recommend this as a secure carrier unless you’re confident in your cat. There is a loop for a leash in the carrier and my cat always travels wearing a harness/leash in the carrier (carefully supervised) so it’s not a huge problem for me, but I always watch for it.The zippers, on the other hand, are very secure and I think even a determined cat would have difficulty escaping them if they’re closed properly.If you’re not going the hard-shell carrier route, this is the best carrier I can recommend, but try to catch it on sale.

Llevamos a nuestro chihuahua en un vuelo de Alaska Airlines a Los Ãngeles, sin problemas. El tamaño âpequeñoâ le queda adecuado al chihuahua.

I’ve had another Sherpa travel bag for 10 years and it just started to fall apart so I bought this carrier.Delighted that it was much easier to carry, lighter in weight and solid quality I bought two, one for each pup.After less than a handful of uses, the wire rod in the bag pierced through the bag and is now broken.It’s just over a month. I love this brand and product but sad the quality was poor. Is there an option to replace?
