EliteField Soft-Sided Airline-Approved Dog & Cat Carrier Bag

I ordered the light blue color carrier for my dog to travel with me on the plane. Color is great. Material and bag overall is nicely made and light weight. Good amount of storage and fits well on my suitcase. My dog hated it though, he did not like the fact that he had to crawl in (and proceeded to scream non stop trying to place him in). What I have now is one where the top opens up and I can place him in. What I do not like about this bag is where the cross body handle clips on. If you wear the strap you can't let your dog pop their head out, the straps are 100% in the way. They need to be sewed on in a diagonal fashion.

I ordered these carriers to carry my two cats on our flight from PA to CO. My cats are 11 and 13 lbs and they had plenty of space. Now that we’re home, my boys use the carriers as a makeshift cave while our stuff is waiting to be delivered (we moved from Germany).

I feel the softer ones are much better! This one happened to be really small. I measured my cat, it should have been perfect. But it's on the smaller side. I have a 2yr old cat. She's very scrunched in it. I say this medium is more for a smaller kitty. But I'll probably buy another one too, just bigger. It's very strong. I don't feel like it's going to bust or fall apart carrying her.

I chose this not only for the price but for the size (not too big for a kitten and didn't seem to be too small for when she gets bigger. (a Carrrier is supposed to be at least big enough for them to turn around as well as sit up in) There's plenty of pockets for rags & toys, for bottles, and even a zipper in back to put on your luggage (that I use for wee wee pads). When she gets bigger we can always keep a can of food, dish and a bowl in the pockets. There are 3 zippered areas one to put them in, on the opposite end you can open it for them to peek their head out, and then there's the front where you can open to pet them or watch them.

I really like the texture, size and padding of the straps. The soft mat within the carrier is especially lovely. I wanted to make sure my puppy is comfortable on short or long flights. The color is just as the photo shows and the zippers, straps, padding, and mesh is all very well constructed. All the pockets are the perfect size for all my needs for the airport/plane.

Unless you want your cat to potentially escape while on an airplane, I recommend not purchasing this. If you do, some tiny locks would be a great idea. My cat managed to unzip this carrier from the inside, so I had to hold it closed.

The carrier itself is ok, but with traveling it was not easy. There's a strap to go over luggage handle and it's too wide so the carrier kept slipping around the handle and the carrier kept going under the suitcase when I was walking. The shoulder strap kept slipping off my shoulder too. It was miserable in the airport.

I bought this for my cat. The purple color was very vibrant. My cat didn't like it because it was so different from her hard carrier, but after a while, she settled into it. My one thought is that the item isn't as stiff/sturdy as it looks, so if you want yours to stay upright and have more firmness, this won't be it. But even without that, it's a great buy and I will be buying a second one for my other cat.

Wish there was steel supports to maintain height and prevent it from collapsing down. Once my kitty was inside she would start clawing at the mesh, she even managed to poke her nose at the zipper opening and slide to unzip. Suddenly she was outside her carrier and wondering around the inside of the car while we were driving. When we switched to a hard carrier, where the sides and top are supported, she was immediately relaxed, no attempts to get out. Unfortunately, this carrier made my kitty feel insecure and claustrophobic.

The thing has a very bad odor which leaving it outside for days in sunlight did not cure it. Wiped it down with a mild bleech solution just lightly and left it outside and it still smelled bad. Now its just sitting inside to air out. Will try to wash it later if it still stinks and hopefully that will fix it. Bought it for a cat that injures her nose on a plastic case bars and a toy rat terrier, not for plane travel. Seems sturdy for the use I got it for, so hopefully the smell will subside.
