Jespet Dog & Cat Carrier Backpack, 17-in

This arrived quickly and appears to be very sturdy and made well. We've tried 2 of our cats out in it. Since they are older males we figure there would be a break in period. I would suspect starting out a kitty at a younger age would be better if you can't get them out in a harness and leash. the only thought I have is that maybe the black mesh on the front is too dense and it may be hard for them to see much

My cat is around 15 lbs. I was hoping he could fit in this but no such luck. It was a bit cramped for him to stay in for any amount of time over a couple minutes. It looks like it is huge but I guess my cat is bigger.

I was looking for a backpack carrier for my cat since we like taking him on hikes but he gets tired easily/gets spooked by bikes. The top and front openings have been very helpful on hikes. If there is an unleashed dog and my cat is on the floor I can get him into the front/top opening very easily and make sure he is up on the ground safe. The backpack also has two side pockets so you can store water bottles or treats!

Its well built, has great window screens and strong straps and a solid stitch. Its got a solid bottom that is fur lines. Its a bit on the smaller side so I would only use this for cats or any dog smaller than a beagle and thats it. Great buy though and get a lot of use out of it with vet visits.

This is a great backpack. I wasn’t so sure about it at first and was thinking I might return it, but then I took my cat for a walk around the block and he got so scared that he pooped in it. As my late grandma would have said, “It’s yours now!” Anyways...it was easy to launder the removable cover from the bottom of the backpack. Since “the incident.” The backpack has grown on me and I have used it a bunch of times just to take kitties into a grassy area for leash time which they love. I don’t think my little entourage will ever achieve adventure cat status because I didn’t start them until almost 5 months. If you have an 8-ish week old kitten and you want it to be 100% chill about being in a This is a great backpack.

If you have an 8-ish week old kitten and you want it to be 100% chill about being in a backpack, buy this thing and start now!! It’s affordable, spacious, super comfy to wear, and also versatile. Sure, it’s not as trendy as the bubble backpack but I have seen lots of reviews saying that the bubble can be pushed out by the cat and I’m super paranoid about escape... Side note: my kitties both feel more secure if I’m wearing the backpack on the front of my body with the top open and their heads sticking out — which makes me look like a crazy cat lady. But who am I kidding? I’m heading in that direction. I feel secure enough with the harness clip attached that they can’t hop out and even if they’re moving around, they don’t seem to get tangled. There’s also no reason you can’t just have this as your main cat carrier for vet visits etc. (Way better and easier to load than the hard ones.) There are a couple things that are non-ideal. 1.) only one harness clip. 2.) would be better to have more pockets and/or maybe water bottle storage? If I was actually going on a hike, I’m not sure how I’d carry lunch and hydration in addition to a pet. 3.) the harness clip mechanism is a bit hard to attach and detach which causes a bit of anxiety of your cat wants to get out quickly and pulls it taught. I’d prefer a different style of clip. In sum, this is a pretty great product and I recommend it. Tip for reducing anxiety: leave it out in your home for at least a week and let your cat play and/or sleep in it a bunch before you use it. … more

Why didn’t I buy this sooner? Worked perfectly. Not sure Bon Bon (my cat) was too happy, but she’s a bit dramatic when going anywhere outside. Haha. I like that it can be used as a regular carrier, although I bought it for the backpack function. Two thumbs up.

Nicely made. Strong durable canvas. I would (my dog) would enjoy more vents. Their is One on the top and front side. Two more tiny vents on the sides. Side vents Should be larger. Sadly, zipper lasted 3 months or so. Bad quality sticky zipper, simple as that...

My cat, Mochi, took right to this backpack. She is a very adventurous kitty and loves going for hikes with us. So far this has worked well for us on day hikes and outings. Only wish there were extra handles on the sides to help move the carrier when not being used as a backpack. Other than that, would recommend for those who have adventurous cats.

This carrier backpack has been extremely useful for my cat and I! Easy to put him in and take anywhere from adventures to the Vet. It took sometime for my cat to get used to and has proven to be durable in moments of his stress or frustration of being contained. He has since gotten used to it and today loves it so much he'll go in it himself for quiet time or to chill out.

We think that the pet carrier backpack that we purchased is going to be just great! We are going to use it primarily for bike rides, so we can take our little Pepsi with us.
