Petsfit Expandable Large Cat Carriers Small Dog Carrier, Airline Approved Soft-Sided Portable Washable Pet Travel Carrier with Two Extension for Kittens,Puppies,Rabbits

We purchased two carriers and we can say that the quality is good. The products arrived after two days of placing the order.

I ordered this after much research to carry my cat on several flights to move from Canada to the US. What I have learned it that the under seat area varies greatly. Airlines will fail to accurately describe the under seat space so be prepared to change seats. The 18" occupies the maximum width you will likely find on a plane. If you have a small pet (like a rabbit) maybe consider something smaller.First, the position of the life-jacket often will impact the height, this doesn't matter so much if you remove the carbon rods from the top of this carrier. Your pet will be a little smooshed, but they will fit. Having the side part to open during the flight is pretty good for to give them more space once airborne.Secondly, many planes have this metal box underneath one of the seats. This will prevent this carrier from fitting at all.Thirdly, this carrier fit only in one position on each flight I took. On one plane it was the window seat, on another it was the isle seat. Both middles had the aforementioned metal box and thus middle was out.In general though, it is a really great carrier. We made it through all three of our flights with no issues. The expandable section is fantastic. The animal can look around a lot more easily than in a hard case, which seems to help. On the flight itself, my cat tended to be quieter with it closed. But it was possible to open it out onto my feet or if squishing my feet to the sides to give her a little more space. In the airport, it gave her ample space to spread out and lie down.The leash hook is great as well. My cat did manage to get it wrapped around herself a few times but it meant I could reach into the bag and adjust this without fear of escape. I could also pass her food and water and even pet her a little bit. You also have to take the animal out for security, and this allowed me to easily switch the harness from the carrier to the leash in order to do this.The material is pretty nice, the stitching is solid. The mesh makes it a bit hard to see the pet when they aren't moving but they can see out fairly well.Removable rods in the top allow for a small amount of extra give, but not much. The rest is still quite rigid especially with the door closed. Carrying her with the shoulder strap with the rods out felt like it was sagging a lot. Side straps with no rods were better.There are a LOT of zippers. The ones on the mesh screens (top, front, back) are lockable (in case your pet is an escape artist), but this isn't necessarily useful as the front/back each have another zipper around the frame (opening these will cause the carrier to flop if the removable rods are not in). The zipper on the fold-out part is useful during carrier training to make them feel less trapped. Altogether, 6 zippers which could be opened to get the pet in/out.My cat hates her large hard case carrier, so I spent a few weeks on carrier training with her. Fed her in the case every day with the front and side mesh open. Had her wear the harness around the house during her active times as well so it wouldn't be weird for her being harnessed and stuck in the carrier. Now she will quite happily go in this carrier any time, and taking her to the vet is much easier.Conclusions:I gave this 5 stars despite some stress with actually getting a seat on each flight which it could fit under. I highly doubt after all my research that there is much out there which would be better, if you have a 10-11lb cat like mine. In our travels, this gave my cat the most comfort and she still uses it as a bed around the house. I think it's much more familiar and comfortable due to it's similarity to a cat bed, the faux fur on the bottom probably helps. It has great features for travel, like the inner leash, removable top rods and the fold-out section. Super pleased with the purchase and highly recommend.

I loved this when I first got it, about a year ago. I used it several times to take the cat to the vet, and then when I got a puppy I carried him around in it for the first couple of weeks. BUT last week I took the cat to the vet and as I was paying in reception, to my horror I saw the cat's head appearing at the bottom of the crate. He'd managed to move the zipper, one of which is at the bottom of each end of the carrier with no means of securing it. I'd never thought about it before as I'd been focusing on the zips at the top. Anyway, a second later and he was out. The staff sprang into action and we caught him in time. If I'd left the vet and been crossing the busy road outside, I dread to think what might have happened.

Our cat LOVES it!!! We bought the carrier to take our 6 kilos cat on our trip to Brazil and he has fallen in love with it since. We traveled from London to Brazil, taking 3 different flights each way. The only tip for other pet travellers would be getting the smaller size available. We bought the medium carrier and it nearly didn't fit under the plane seat in front of us... We had to force it down to fit properly which wasn't very good for our kitty neither for the bag. But besides that our cat can't get enough of his bag. He's adopted it as his bed and sleeps there every afternoon.

I bought this bag a couple of years ago after having bought and returned so many other bags. This bag however we loved it immediately. It looks nice, light, very sturdy, easy to put up or flatten, nice quality material, 2 openings....and my dog just loves sitting inside. We used it several times for overseas long haul flights and my dog is very comfortable in it. I especially like the opening at the top (and front) so that I can easily pet her thru the opening. We were in business class on both trips so the bag didn’t need to be squeezed under the seat so cannot comment on economy seats. When we don’t travel, I leave it in the living room where she uses it as a den. She loves it! I thought I should write a review to help others looking for a travel bag.

Great carrier for my 8week old pug puppy, the expandable side is great for him to stretch out at night but can be tucked up easily when transporting him in the car. Would highly recommend great quality for the price
