"The tote is well made. It is very suitable for a small dog of about 11 lbs. If you are strong, it can hold a bit more weight. My dog was relaxed and had a breathable area to maintain his comfort when zipped. It has places for items needed like dog's business pickup."
"My dog is 20 lbs and he is just too tall for this carrier, he would have to crouch the whole time, and be unbalanced and this would cause him to loosing the ability to balance."
Bottom Line
Fashion meets function in this carrier, though safety and stability improvements are recommended. Ideal for small pets, but consider larger sizes for bigger animals for comfort and stability.
