β€” Stephanie

"He had more than enough room in it. He is a 5lb toy poodle."

β€” Hannah

"DO NOT BUY. I purchased this because it was advertised as having a hard bottom. Describing something as a β€œhard bottom” leads one to believe there’ll be a certain amount of stability."

Bottom Line

Due to its sturdiness, it may be worth considering for larger pets. However, the comfort and design issues are significant concerns that potential buyers should be aware of.
