YUDODO Pet Sling Carrier for Small Dogs & Cats – Hands-Free Puppy Carrier with Safety Hook, Large Zipper Pocket, Soft Breathable Mesh, Adjustable Strap & Reflective Strip (Black 1.0 M)

Very happy with it. It works well and fits comfortably. The color is exactly as pictured. I have a 9 lb dog and he fits well in this. It’s easy to use and overall design works. My only complaint is I wish it had a zipper or place to store my phone in but it’s overall a great product for the price. My dog feels secure which is what matters most.

My little chihuahua gets so excited when I get this out. She knows she's going on an adventure. She is such a velcro dog, always has to be on me, and this is a great way to take her places and have free hands. She sits very contently in it. I wish the strap was a little shorter, but it's still fine. It is very lightweight but sturdy. I bought a large, even though my little dog weighs less than 10 lbs. It has some roominess to it when she's in it, but after reading the specifications, I felt that a small / medium would be too small for her. I have used this many many times and taken her inside places and nobody even notices her (she is black and so is the carrier) so it looks like I just have a crossbody bag on.

4 stars: recommended (with reservations)This is a great pet sling if you have a docile animal. Any squirming or need-to-wander? the pet will escape. On top of that, there are a few design flaws that make it harder to get the pet in the sling in the first place. And finally, although the strap is technically adjustable, it cannot be lengthened/shortened to a useful amount.I should note that I ended up returning it, even though I really like the quality — my cat struggled too much getting in, which makes it unsuitable for my needs (a quick sling for her to sleep in, when she wants to be held like a rugby ball).ProsThe quality is high: stitching is tight and secure, the material is strong (and yet comfortable to rest against pet and person), and things like straps and pockets are well made.Once my pet was inside, the weight was well distributed and there was enough room for her to turn around without getting tangled.Overall, I felt as if I could carry the pet comfortable for a few hours, if not longer.ConsI was hoping to be able to tighten the strap so that the cat could rest right below my shoulder (her favorite spot), but it's really designed for owners to carry the animal at tummy or waist level. Which is great if you're in the 60% of the population that is around average height, but not useful if you're very tall or very short.Less of an issue is that it takes a lot of effort to adjust the length. Most people are only going to adjust it once, to get it to the ideal length, and then leave it alone.Three other design flaws were a bigger problem for me. First, the drawstring is a great idea for tightening the opening if your animal is completely docile. If not, then you have to open the zipper and the drawstring, at which point the string gets in the way of putting the animal into the sling and zipping it up.The second problem is that the velcro tab to hold the zipper in place doesn't have any place to go while the sling is unzipped. So it keeps trying to close, which makes it harder than necessary, to zip back up. And finally, there's a snap-hook near the drawstring which could be useful if your animal has a collar, but just gets in the way if you don't. It also complicates getting a non-docile pet in and out.

This sling bag is amazing! It’s the perfect size for my kitten—snug, but not cramped. The breathable mesh keeps him cool, and he loves the little opening to peek out and watch the world. It’s thoughtfully designed and feels really secure without being restrictive.

My smallest pup, a mini maltipoo, suffered a retina detachment and is now blind. For the last four months, she's wanted to go everywhere with us. Since she's small, carrying her is not typically a problem, but we were taking her to the farmers' market and grocery store, and it's hard to deal with pawing through produce bins looking for the perfect onion while holding a dog. So I ordered the YUDODOGetting a dog into this sling is kind of like fitting a baby into a pouch carrier -- except my babies were savvy enough to figure out what they needed to do to facilitate the process. That's not happening with my dog, who is ridiculously sweet but not the brightest, so it generally takes two people to get her settled and zipped up.What I quickly discovered: the sling, even at its tightest configuration, is too long for me (5'4"). So unless I'm using my left hand for picking out plums or something, I find myself holding dog plus sling. If I don't do that, my shoulders quickly start to ache.The sling is cute and seems to be well-made, and eventually I'll figure out a good way to shorten it (nothing so far has worked). YUDODO could have made the strap more adjustable, and why they did not, I do not know.
