Jespet Dog & Cat Carrier Backpack, 17-in

I've had this carrier for about a year and have been really happy with it. My cat always tries to resist when I put her in it, but having a big opening at the top makes it much less of a struggle than the more standard carriers. It's also got plenty of room for her to either lie down or stand up if she needs to stretch. Being able to wear it as a back pack is also a plus.

The area for the pet is fine, a little big for airline use I think. The pet part is fine though, the straps are too wide for my shoulders and cut into my chest as I was carrying my 13lb dog. I'm 5'7", and this pack was not at all comfortable to use, my 6'3" husband didn't feel it is much more comfortable for him either, it came to rest in an awkward spot on each of our backs. We plan to return it.

I loved the idea of taking our furry one with us hiking and thought this would be great for it. This is very bulky, fits oddly, not very comfortable to wear, and she shook around so much she threw up. And that was just on the test walk around the block. She likes to crawl inside when it's just sitting on the floor though, so that's something. Opted for a sling-type carrier that keeps her snug to my side which she prefers and fits me much nicer.

I am training my kitten to be an Adventure Cat. He now walks on a trail with a leash & harness along with our dog. When he wants to hop in & out of my backpack I leave the screen rolled up (open) so he can enjoy the outdoors. The shoulder straps are sturdy. The chest & waist strap helps with weight distribution. So far my kitten is about 7 pounds. I believe that a few more pounds will still be comfortable. Nice product for the money.

I bought this for my Yorkie so I could Carrie him on my vacation. It's so well made. Definitely worth the money. There's straps for your stomach and chest. I recommend.

Our boy is an exceptionally adventurous kitty, so he may be prone to loving anything that will get him outside, but that’s what’s so great shot this one! It does just that but also allows him plenty of space to sit, lay down, stand up, see out and get fresh air. It has an adjustable leash inside that we attach to his harness so we don’t have to worry about him jumping out, and he has options of how he likes to get in and out or see out. It also has side pockets for the leash and your phone and keys. Every time I bring it out, he perks up, and when we walk out the door, he purrs so loudly! We’re getting another one for our second new kitty!

5/5 — would buy again; would recommend to others Although I have an excellent airplane crate, I bought this so it would be easier to walk my cat 7 blocks to my vet. It works extremely well for that. It takes little time to flatten for storage, & only slightly longer to put it back together. This isn’t as well made as the cheaper daypacks you can buy at big box stores. The straps aren’t well padded, the design doesn’t distribute weight nearly as well as it could. It just gets the job done. There are also a few issues that came close to dropping my rating to four stars: some loose threads, more zippers than it really needs, a pouch that cannot hold much, and the relatively cheap straps.

Although the bag is advertised for an animal up to 16 pounds, I wouldn’t recommend it for any much bigger than 12 pounds. In the upright position, my cat had just enough room to stand, and to turn around comfortably. … more

This is an exceptional carrier. Quality, spacious, built tough. The straps are well padded, with secure chest and waist belts. Unbelievable .....and Thank You!

I love this carrier! It is really high quality and makes transporting my cat so much easier. As a bonus, my cat loves it too!

My 2 male cats are skittish and strongly reject any traditional carrier, even the cardboard top- loading ones from the vet. I bought this to try. It is completely amazing. Both cats (separately) entered this carrier and settled right in. I was able to stroke them a bit from the other side of the netting. No crying or attempts to escape whatsoever. The vet staff was extremely impressed with this carrier. I love that the cat is carried in the front to give more opportunity for observation and interaction. The bottom piece is covered with a soft lambs wool type material that the cats just loved. I plan to start taking my indoor cats out for walks with this carrier also.
