Frisco Bubble Dog & Cat Backpack Carrier, Black

Trying to get my indoor kitty to experience the outside world without running off or getting stressed, and this was perfect! Sturdy plastic, straps, and zippers, so I don't fear it breaking and letting her loose. She was definitely nervous on her first go, but did much better than on a harness or in a standard plastic carrier. Perfect middle ground between being able to see/smell and feeling secure. Make sure to have lots of treats on hand!

This backpack is really cool because it has a clear bubble for your pet to see out and into their surroundings. Our dog is 6.3 pounds, and she can lie down in it when it is on our back. My biggest cat can sit up but not lie down very well when it is on the back. But when the backpack is on the ground, it can be laid down, and then my cat has plenty of room to lay down. So far, we have only used the backpack around the house for the pets to get used to it and around the neighborhood. We are looking forward to taking it with us when we go on big hikes so that our tiny dog can still join us but be able to rest in the backpack and still see the adventure. My big cat enjoys being outside on our balcony, so with this backpack, we can now take her in it for walks outside when we take the dog for a walk. One of my other cats is displeased to be put in the backpack but will go in it on her own when we leave it open on the floor.

This pet backpack came at a perfect time as we are trying to keep our older cat, Clyde, indoors due to chronic sinus infections. Now I can still take him outdoors without having him wandering off. It is very roomy inside with a comfortable little rug for the bottom. Clyde could easily move around inside of it and he seemed pretty comfortable in there too! The rug is removable incase you need to clean it. There are air holes in the plastic as well as mesh material on the sides for good air ventilation. There's also a short tether inside with a clip. The straps for your shoulders are nice and wide and very comfortable! If you don't want to wear it as a backpack, there is also a nice handle at the top so you could carry it instead. The two pockets on either side, are large enough to put a wallet, cell phone, treats, etc. In. Overall, this is a really sturdy and well made pet carrier/backpack.
