PetObedience Pet Carrier for Small to Medium Sized Pets 18 X 12 X 11 - Inch

I wanted to write a quick review for this bag. I have tried many airline bags in the past and been disappointed. This bag is by far the best on the market.I have a 14 year old Cairn Terrier. This bag is perfect for her. She doesn't fight be when being put in the bag. There is more than enough room for her to stand up, turn around, and lay down (in odd and seemingly uncomfortable positions). I was more than pleased with how easy this bag was to get into the space under the seat.I am giving this bag a 4 star review for 3 key factors:1) The flexibility of this bag is a blessing. However, it does have one minor down fall - the bag tends to collapse when being carried by the shoulder strap, which led to my dog's nose being pressed against the mesh vents just below the strap attachment. to make it more comfortable for my pup, I simply opened the one vent and let her stick her head out.2) The bag has a luggage strap to set the bag on a roller carry on. Because of the width and flexibility, my pup kept falling to the front of the bag, which made is slightly awkward to keep my dog balanced. I purchased the Travelon Bag Bungee (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TR0UZI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1)which worked well to keep the bad and my dog centered on the roller carry on I was using.3) The zipper quality is not the best. I didn't have any particular problems and I have no broken zippers, but the zippers are sticky and occasionally don't close as easy as I'd like. This could make it hard for someone to get the zipper closed quickly enough if the dog (or cat) is struggling to get out.Overall, I am ecstatic this bag worked so well. My had the most comfortable travel. She is normally very anxious within small enclosed spaces. She spent most of the time blissfully unaware of her surroundings because she was asleep.I highly recommend this bag.

I own a 10lb papillon, and I got this to replace  Sherpa Deluxe Pet Carriers  as it was getting too dirty. My dog is crate-trained, and I mainly used Sherpa in the house for her me-alone time, and traveling via car and airplanes as well. The first thing I noticed when I received this carrier was that it is very light. Because this carrier does not have embedded metal frames, it is light and it can fold flat as well. Still, it holds its shape very well without the metal frames. Because my dog is 10lbs, sometimes 11lbs, with the added weight of carrier, Sherpa could be very straining on my shoulder when we go to airports and walk around for 30 min - 1 hour. I can see myself much lighter to move around with this carrier instead of Sherpa. It is almost the same size as Large Sherpa Carrier, and I can see it fitting better under the cabin as it does not have metal frames. (For your reference, my dog is on the tall side, and cannot stand up completely straight inside the Large Sherpa nor this carrier. We got warned once at the airport for this reason with the Large Sherpa, but did not have a problem flying. I would rather have her like that by me than inside the Cargo as she has anxiety issues.) Folding flat is another plus when we travel by the road, as I can just stick it in the back of the trunk and pull it out when I need it. Takes much less space in the already filled car trunk.However, it was not suitable for using as a crate-substitute at home. Because it opens on the sides rather than the front like Sherpa, my dog is exposed too much when I leave the flap open and she just does not feel safe enough. Her feet will just slide out of the inside and she did not stay in voluntarily. With Sherpa, she loved to go in, stay and sleep in it when I left the flap open for her.In conclusion, I kept this carrier for traveling, and ordered another Sherpa for use at home.

I like this carrier, but I have a 12 pound cat and when I carry him in it, I find that I have to hold onto the side handles in order to keep the top from smooshing inward on him. The pocket is nice for storing all of his medications and the seatbelt strap is good because I know he'll be safe in the car.

I was surprised how well made this pet carrier was and at the quality of material. A lot of times, you never know what you are going to get. I have a Brussels Griffon who's about 20 LBS give or take, as well as a average sized cat. I was a little worried it would be too small for him, but it’s actually the perfect size!It comes with a comfortable pad to lay on the bottom. It has this really neat retro camper look and I love the combination of colors. Not only does it look very nice, but has some awesome features.The carry handles are nice and sturdy, and right by those on either side there are nice metal rings to add a strap to (the strap comes with it).You can unzip both sides to open it up. There are also two smaller spots you can unzip, one on the top and one on the sides, as you can see from the pictures with my cat. It has an oval pocket on one side that's great for holding treats, bags, leashes and so on. On all 4 sides and the top there are mesh breathable spots that allow air flow, let you see in and allow the to see out. It also has 2 Velcro straps on the bottom that allow you to secure it to things.I could not be more pleased with the company's customer service and with the quality of the product. 5 stars all around!
