Features 5

  • AIRLINE-FRIENDLY SIZE Measuring 17 x 8 x 11 inches and supporting pets up to 10 lb, this soft-sided carrier is designed to fit under most airline seats. Choose by your pets body length and standing height, not weight alone, and check your airlines current requirements before travel.
  • ADJUSTABLE PEEK-OUT OPENING The side opening lets pets look around and feel less confined. During movement, adjust the drawstring to a snug, comfortable fit around the neck to help reduce slip-out risk. Leave enough room for comfortable breathing and movement, and never overtighten.
  • EXTRA SECURITY FOR TRAVEL Clip the interior safety leash to a properly fitted harness, never a collar. Two separate single-pull zipper closures help keep the carrier securely closed while providing convenient access to your pet.
  • BREATHABLE, COMFORTABLE INTERIOR Multiple PVC mesh panels promote airflow and visibility. The removable base combines a PP support board, foam cushioning, and a soft zippered cover to provide a steadier, cozier resting surface during travel.

Description

Can my pet use the Adjustable Side Opening during travel? Adjust it for a comfortable fit, attach the interior safety leash to a properly fitted harness, and keep the carrier properly closed while moving. Can my pet enter through the side opening? Yes. Fully open it only when the carrier is stationary and your pet is supervised. Can the carrier be used as a resting space? Yes. Open the top only in a safe, stationary setting. Which size should I choose? Choose based on your pet’s body length and standing height—not weight alone.

Pet carrier
Color: Black Size: 17.0"L x 8.0"W x 11.0"H
Products is really nice and has great quality

Decent but weird?
Color: Gray Size: 17.0"L x 8.0"W x 11.0"H
I have historically only used larger hard carriers for my cats, but since getting my kitten and borrowing a soft carrier for him for vet trips I decided I should probably have one of my own. This one popped up at the perfect time, but even though it works just fine for what I use it for, I probably would not choose this one to purchase again over other carriers. The sole reason for this is the drawstring hole on the side. While it works totally fine for my kitten despite this, I can't help but wonder what its purpose is truly for? I have never seen another carrier with this feature, and it bothers me that it doesn't truly close--because it's drawstring, there's always a finger-sized opening no matter how tight you draw it. My kitten is pretty chill so this doesn't cause me too much concern, but if you had a cat that absolutely hated being in a carrier and was desperate to get out, this may be an issue when they discover they can potentially stick a paw through. The zip top also closes with velcro (as in, the zipper does not go 100% of the way around the opening) which again could pose an issue for escape artist pets. As the listing also states, this carrier is ONLY for cats and small dogs. I would go as far as to say /small/ cats and dogs. I have 5 cats and only the kitten and my smallest senior would fit in this carrier comfortably. For size reference, the kitten is ~6 lbs and the senior is 7~ lbs. My others are 10+ lbs and it would be too awkward to carry them in this and they likely would not be able to turn around in this very well. TLDR; Decent for small well-behaved pets, but not particularly secure. ... show more

Would not recommend for pets close to 10 pounds
Color: Gray Size: 17.0"L x 8.0"W x 11.0"H
I will start by saying I like the idea of this carrier. I was looking for a smaller duffel bag type carrier for my 9 pound well behaved cat. As others have mentioned, the measurements on this product are off. In our case that meant my cat couldn’t stand up all the way when the carrier is closed. The carrier does not hold its shape at all when it’s occupied and being carried-the sides cave in and my cat was squished.He did enjoy the hole to peek out and it did seem pretty secure, but I’m sure a determined cat could easily fenangle their way out. I would say this carrier would be great for pets up to maybe 6 or 7 pounds, but sadly did not work well for us. ... show more

Great Quality Travel Bag
Color: Black Size: 17.0"L x 8.0"W x 11.0"H
This LudiPet carrier works perfectly. It is roomy, well‑ventilated and sturdy for my pet’s trips. Highly recommend!

Nice carrier but more suited to dogs then cats
Color: Black Size: 17.0"L x 8.0"W x 11.0"H
While I do think this is a great carrier for small dogs, I am not sure how great ot is for cats. The main reason for this is the hole on the side that allows your pet to stick their head out. I was not able to get that hole fully close. This small hole then gave my cat tiger a way to push the hole open and make it larger. She did this by sticking her paw through the hole and mashing down on the button you push to move the buckle. Now since the buckles string is just tied together I would be able to flip the buckle over and that might solve the problem. You will see that I have included a picture with a blue arrow showing the buckle problem. On other thing that I did not love is the fact that one side of the top is held close with velcro. An animal who is determined enough would be able to get that open. Outside of those 2 issues I do think this is a nice carier. It does have a nice large front pocket that you can fit various items plus a smaller side pocket. It also has a clip on the inside that you can use to help keep your pet secure in the carrier. I also really like the luggage strap that will allow you to put your pet on top of your suitcase. While it does have to nice handles I do wish it also had a shoulder strap. Overall I do think this is a nice quality small dog or cat carrier. Just make sure you have your cat or dog harnessed and tethered to the inside leash. ... show more

May work for small, very docile pets
Color: Black Size: 17.0"L x 8.0"W x 11.0"H
The carrier is smaller than expected. According to my measurements, the length is closer to 13 inches than the stated 17 inches. The canvas is sturdy, well-sewn and feels durable. The PVC mesh panels provide visibility and allow airflow. The mat is flimsy and not well padded, but the cover is soft. It folds flat for storage. Unless you have an exceptionally compliant, docile pet, the functionality is questionable. Entry for the carrier is from the top, which is secured with two separate zippers that attach at the end to a Velcro strip. The two major problems this design are that once you get the pet inside, you must struggle to get not one, but two zippers closed before the pet is contained. Secondly, it's hard to close the Velcro because it attaches at a curve, creating gaps, and there's nothing behind it to press on. It doesn't feel secure. An even bigger issue is the 'peek out opening' on the opposite end that is dubiously secured with a drawstring. ... show more

IVE GOTTEN SEVERAL COMPLIMENTS ON THIS AT THE VET OFFICE
Color: Black Size: 17.0"L x 8.0"W x 11.0"H
I absolutely love this pet carrier! I've used it for trips to the vet and have actually gotten several compliments about how nice it is. It looks great, feels well made, and is much nicer than some of the basic soft-sided carriers I've owned. The mesh panels provide plenty of ventilation and also allow my pet to see what's going on around them. I really like the adjustable side opening because it makes getting a cat in and out much easier. The built-in safety leash is another nice feature for added security. The removable pad gives them a comfortable place to sit or lie down, and being able to remove it makes cleaning much easier. The carrier itself is lightweight and comfortable to carry while still feeling sturdy and secure. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this carrier. It's functional, comfortable, attractive, and apparently nice enough to get noticed at the vet! Definitely one of the better pet carriers I've used. ... show more

Best Used for A Calm, Quiet Pet That is Not an Escape Artist
Color: Gray Size: 17.0"L x 8.0"W x 11.0"H
I needed a carrier for my latest cats, and this bag showed up. I did not need an airline carrier, just something to and from the vet. Soft sided sounded great. I'll admit I didn't look at the descriptions or pictures on the listing. I am not a fan of the side hole that only closes by drawstring. I have clever cats, a smart cat, and one of my kittens is showing determination at solving problems. So, the drawstring closure will not suffice to keep them in. They do say to use the included interior safety leash on a cats' harness. After examining the snap on the safety leash, I don't think I would count on that not to break from a determined escape artist. The top is closed by a zipper on 2 sides, then Velcro on 1 end. I don't see this holding up by either of the 3 cats I mentioned when talking about the hole in the side. The carrying straps seem rugged, but I would expect there to be a method to bind the two together when in use. It has a pocket on one end, but the elastic at the top doesn't keep it firmly in place. If you had meds or something you didn't want to lose, the pocket may not keep it secure. This carrier would allow good airflow thru all the mesh. and it seems to be of quality materials and construction. One of my kittens does enjoy just sitting in it as a "box", but unfortunately I don't think it fits my needs. ... show more
