Cat Dog Carrier - Airline Approved Expandable Soft-Sided Pet Carrier with Removable Fleece Pad and Pockets, for Cats/Puppy and Small Animals

Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.I do want to throw out there that within half hour of first use, it already became wrinkled (you can see it in the photo) because the sides are not super sturdy and therefore did not keep its shape 100%. I was a bit surprised by that because in the product photos where the person is using the shoulder strap, the shape is retained which is why I bought it. However, it is nice looking and seems to be good quality aside from the wrinkling. Side expansions, handles, shoulder strap, and three ways to unzip it is so helpful and made us both much more comfortable during travel. The furry inner lining is a plus as well, my pup was able to relax on our train ride.

I don't remember which size I purchased of this carrier, but I bought it for kittens and it feels like it might be a bit snug once they are full grown, as they can just about touch the top while standing. I marked this 4 stars for sturdiness as well, as it feels well made, but due to the design, it doesn't have much structural integrity, so if a cat or dog jumps on it, it will mostly collapse.I've used this for vet trips and to socialize two kittens and it has worked great. The fold out sides allow the animals to move about without being trapped in a small cube, which ideally would be good for travel as well given you have enough space to leave it expanded in the car. The interior is very soft and it seems to be quite comfortable.

The carrier works great and is fairly large, however upon opening the package it reeked of a foul smell like cigarette smoke. Still has the strong scent. Was contemplating returning it due to the strong odor, but the sole purpose of it works great. My cat loves the extra room it had.

I love the room in this carrier. You can use it for one cat or expand it to fit two in it comfortably. We have 11 pound and 13 pound cats and they both can fit in this carrier. Love the removable cushion. Washes nicely in case of an accident.

Was very excited when the new carrier came. I have now been using it two days & one of the zippers will not open all the way. The one side that has been expanded when you fold it back in it does not pack back in "flat". The price is good but now wish I has spent more for better product.
