"This is a well made back pack and by measuring the outside measurements, our 13 lb dog should have fit, unfortunately the only comfortable way for him to fit, it with his head sticking out the top. He was quite happy, but the airlines wouldn't be so I have to return this."

Bottom Line

Despite some discomfort reports from cats and sizing issues affecting larger dogs, this carrier is solid and worthwhile for small dogs and pets who fit well within the size specifications, so it’s worth checking your pet’s measurements carefully before purchasing. Some potential improvements should be made for better recommendations in the future.
