I'm super pleased with this carrier and my dog likes it too.
Size: 15.0"L x 10.0"W x 8.5"H Color: Charcoal Gray
I bought this in the smallest size (15x10), and it's absolutely perfect for my 2.75 Chihuahua puppy. There's plenty of room for her adult weight of 4-5 lbs. She has plenty of room to stand up and turn around, and there is even room for a small, soft blanket. I had bought another fancier brand called Roverland and didn't like it at all. Their smallest carrier was just too stiff, large, heavy, and bulky. It also costs a lot more. I have been carrying her in the carrier with the strap adjusted to the longest length, across my body when I walk daily. She likes the visibility and is very content. It will easily fit under any airline seat. I did end up purchasing this padded shoulder pad, because the strap was digging into my neck and shoulder: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QGZ1NK6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 It velcros on and does the trick and is much more comfortable for me. I also purchased a short safety strap to use so that she doesn't escape when a flap is open: (there is a hook inside but no strap comes with it). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D961X5MJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 It works well. She can lie down when she's hooked up to it and she can't get twisted up in it. It will allow me to open the top flap and let her perch on the opening without being able to jump out. I would recommend those two accessories. The carrier is of nice quality, lightweight, and I love the zippered pocket at the end that can carry my phone and credentials so that they are easy to access. The only thing that I'm bummed about is that I paid $70 for the grey one a couple of weeks ago and now it's half price during Prime day. I threw the tags, packaging, and box away or I'd send it back and order the sale one. I like it so much that I'm gifting my daughter one for her dog, while they're on sale. ... show more

Probably the best option out there for your money
Size: 17.0"L x 11.0"W x 10.5"H Color: Charcoal Gray
This carrier is well worth the money! It worked wonderfully for my 12lb mini dachshund flying Delta. The outer frame strikes a perfect balance between flexible and structured, being bendy enough when needed to squeeze under the seat or through tight spaces when traveling while still giving my dog enough space to turn around or readjust. I especially love the mesh paneling, padded-yet-sturdy bottom board, and zippered top to allow my dog to poke his head out and view his surroundings (it helped his travel anxiety quite a bit). As a bonus, the carrying strap is extremely comfortable for shoulder carry, even for extended periods of time. I didn't even realize this carrier had a luggage sleeve until I used it! I could slip the sleeve over the handle of my roller bag, place the carrier on top, and walk around without worrying about my dog falling off. So glad that this option exists. Highly recommend this sturdy, thoughtfully designed product. ... show more

Perfect carrier for our Meeka
Size: 17.0"L x 11.0"W x 10.5"H Color: Charcoal Gray
Perfect size for our 12 Lb Havanese. Stacked her on top of our carry on through the airport. Fit nicely under the seat. Very pleased with it.

Great Value & Seamless with Delta
Size: 17.0"L x 11.0"W x 10.5"H Color: Black Lattice
Purchased the large for my 12lb poodle mix, Millie. Called and booked ahead with Delta to inform them that I would be bringing Millie. Even though the size of the large is slightly over Delta requirements, they never checked the dimensions at check in. I figure it’s due to it being soft sided and close enough. We accustomed her to the bag a few times in the weeks leading up to her first flight. She jumped right in and loved it each time. The only time she became stressed was within the airport (ATL) and it was Christmas chaos. We gave her a cbd treat and she did well. The bag has a suitcase strap and is very sturdy for being a soft shell. The only unfortunate part is that after one flight, the top corner seam started to come undone. Returned and received a new one. I think the overall look and feel of this bag is worth it and will deal with having the seams sewn if needed again because of its great size, feel and useful design. It fit well in Deltas main cabin 757-200. Would recommend and would buy again. ... show more

Best cat carrier for air travel
Size: 19.0"L x 11.8"W x 11.5"H Color: Black Lattice
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. ... show more

A Great Pet Carrier!
Size: 17.0"L x 11.0"W x 10.5"H Color: Black Lattice
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! ... show more

This carrier is as well made as the one I bought 18 yrs ago!
Size: 19.0"L x 11.5"W x 11.8"H Color: Charcoal Gray
This Pet Carrier, which I use for my two Burmese/Tonkinese kittens, is exactly like the first carrier I bought and used for eighteen years for my first two Burmese cats. Because they are small cats, they both can fit into the carrier together, even as adults. I just needed a second one because they were being altered and had to be brought home in separate carriers. This one is the same excellent quality as the first. It is very comfortable and these kittens actually liked sleeping and playing inside of it when it arrived and I kept it in their playroom for a few months because they enjoyed it so much. These carriers clean up beautifully and I also put a pad in the bottom of them for added comfort, although it's not actually needed. The cats like them because they can see out of them and know that I am nearby, which is very reassuring to them. I highly recommend them because they wear so well! ... show more
