Airline Approved Pet Carrier, Large Soft Sided Pet Travel TSA Carrier 4 Sides Expandable Cat Collapsible Carriers with Removable Fleece Pad and Pockets for Cats Dogs and Small Animals

My 17lb mini schnauzer hates crates and carriers so I was REALLY nervous flying with him across the country. l searched all of Amazon and Chewy for the perfect doggie carrier and reluctantly decided on this one (TBH my expectations were really low because I wasn’t 100% sold on ANY carrier). However, this carrier was so much greater than I could have imagined! My dog had plenty of room to turn around and even was able to curl up in his usual ball to sleep with a ton of room at the opposite end of the carrier. Additionally, we carried him all across the Denver airport and a few layovers with 0 issues in bag quality - the straps & handles are extremely durable. The bag extenders were great, but the bag was a lot larger for my dog than I expected so I didn’t even need to use them! One thing to note: the carrier did not fit under the seat fully in the 737, but it was within airline standards(ish) for United. However, I realized that no doggie carrier in airline sizing would fit fully or comfortably under the seat. Overall, absolutely love this bag and very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend to anyone who is a bit worried about a larger pup 🙂

I bought two of these for our cats and are thrilled with the quality, size, and ability to open and expand this carrier into a very large, well ventilated mini catio. Even at its most compact, our 11 pound cats can turn around with ease and are comfy. I would definitely buy this again.

We had to upgrade her bag she initially had a much smaller bag but she has grown from a kitten to a teenager it would seem in the span of 2 months. The size of this is perfect. Very sturdy and expandable. Had a bit of a new smell to it that the cat did not like. It went away and it seems she likes it a bit more now. Our cat did escape the bag a couple times as she was able to unzip one of the side zippers. Thankfully this happened at home and not I. The road or outside. She is a bit of a Houdini apparently lol. The solution is to tie the zippers down with zip ties or rubber band just in case. Seems durable but only time will tell. I do like the colors of the bag. It’s a good place to put your cat if you need to restrict her a bit too in case she is too wild at night and you need to get some sleep. I don’t feel bad doing this in this bag especially if you unzip all the expandable pockets so she has a good deal of room to stretch out in. Highly recommend this bag.

Overall, satisfied with the pet bag. The ability to expand on all sides is a really nice touch, it definitely adds more room for your pet. I would say one improvement would be a sturdier bottom - since it is the same material on all sides there really is not support underneath for your pet (understandably why some of the complaints on the bag are saying the strap broke easily). The bag does meet airport requirements and will fit underneath the seat, even with one end expanded. We flew our 24-pound mini goldendoodle. It was a tight squeeze without the side expanded since she does have tall legs. She was able to turn around easily, but did not stand completely when the bag was closed. Overall she looked very comfortable sleeping/laying in the bag on the flight, especially with the expanded side. Just an FYI to those flying their pets for the first time - American Airlines is extremely strict. They will UPHOLD that the pet needs to be able to stand fully upright and turn around, regardless of the pet fitting/looking comfortable in the bag. They will not allow you fly. Additionally, they will ask for your ID and ban you from flying with pets for future flights. Needless to say, we won’t be flying with American any longer. Our pet was allowed on Delta with hardly any issues. They did ask to see if she fit in the bag, but they did allow us to expand it upon inspection and saw that she was comfortable. Way better service and much more understanding than AA.

This has been my first experience flying with a small pet - I have a terrier mix with a bit of dachshund, 17 lbs, about 21 in long so a bit on the long side for carriers. This carrier has worked great for us - so far we've been on 2 round trips, 8 total planes and usually 12-16 hrs of travel in a day, and the design of this carrier has relieved quite a bit of fatigue for my pup. Because he's a little long to be comfortable in the zipped up size, it's really nice while waiting in the airport to be able to unzip the mesh vents on each of the 4 sides and let him have room to stretch out and move around some. The carrier has to be fully zipped up on the plane to fit under the seat in front, but usually once we're at cruising alt, I'll unzip the sides to get some air flow going, and sometimes I can unzip the side facing me to give him some room too (don't tell on me LOL). It gets really really warm under the seats so it's great to have mesh available on all sides. I usually place the carrier longways, facing me, so it does stick out some toward my feet, but I've never had an issue with a flight attendant asking me to push it farther forward or anything. Maybe for a smaller pet the carrier could be compressed a bit to fit it sideways fully under the seat. It's handy that there are entry points in the front and back as well as the top - I can lead him in from one side and let him out from the other rather than have him turn around/back out or lift him out. There is a clip with a little tether inside - I don't keep that on most of the time because I'm concerned about him getting wrapped up in it, but if I'm letting him poke his head out the top a little, I'll put it on just in case he tries to bolt (big airports are spooky to a little guy). The pockets on the side are big enough to fit some treats, collapsible water bowl, a roll of waste bags, the shoulder strap, his leash, and a couple granola bars, and it's a tight squeeze but still doable. Speaking of the shoulder strap - gonna be honest, I never use this. Because of how it fastens (to the front and back of the bag), and because the bag is soft shell, it curves it up towards the two attachment points and doesn't provide support in the center. This is really uncomfortable for a fella trying to lie down in the middle. I always use the handles, which have the same kind of effect in the other direction across the bag, but that's okay because it just kind of "hugs" him and encourages him to stay lying down. Honestly I think the slight pressure helps calm him down. The downside of that though is you're carrying the bag the whole time by hand, which gets heavy quickly because it's kind of unwieldy. When I'm with him I usually estimate to double the amount of time it usually takes me to move through the airport - because I need to set the carrier down every so often, or switch hands, or set it down on the moving walkway and stand still where I'd normally keep walking (and I lift weights in my free time so it's not just a matter of personal strength). The shoulder strap is nice though when I am using the carrier just as a bag; I like to keep his supplies in there to carry around when not flying, and treating it like a normal duffel bag works just fine. Highly recommend for anyone flying with a small pet.

It's so good like it is on the photo. My cat already slept in it. Thank you so much

Sturdy and perfect size. Can expand to offer a 'playhouse' type kennel for short periods. Fully opens out which we have found useful in the past when transporting pets with mobility problems. This also helps with cleaning. Very pleased with this purchase.

This is by far one of the best products I bought for my cats. I put it up and left it on the floor and they immediately got curious. One of them stepped in at his will and took possession of it 😹. The only comment I have is that it won’t fit large sized cats, only two of my five would fit. The others need a larger carrier (or maybe a weight loss program).

Plegable, lo puedo colocar donde sea, mi gato hace fit perfecto, puede asomarse por donde quiera. Muy buen producto

We moved across 4 provinces and knew the 6 to 8 hour days of driving would be hard on our kitty so we bought this carrier and it was perfect! I was able to open up the sides so he was able to see us and move around. He did great! And he loves it!! We're in our new house and he still lays in it. A safe space.
