JesPet Dog & Cat Carrier Backpack, 17-in

I thought this would be perfect for bike riding with my 10# Poochi, but it had a couple of serious issues and I am going to return it. The major problem being the straps have something hard in them and very little padding. The straps are wide and stiff, like they have cardboard in them and there is barely any padding on them. Just trying it on hurt my shoulders. The other big problem is that it has a very stiff plastic bottom that sits right on my lower lumbar curve. I am sure 10 min of wearing it I would have rubbed a blister on my back. This problem would probably not bother a taller person, I am 5" tall the backpack was so tall if went from shoulders to lower back for me.

It seems to be made well but it whoever designed it didn't put it on before mass producing it. I love that it has a chest and a waist strap but sadly it wasn't enough to overcome the cons. … more

I work in a vet clinic so when I bring one of our cats in it used to be a handful. Carrying lunch box water bottle and cat carrier. Now I just put the back pack on and can carry everything else. I also like that this is very ventilated where a other backpack carriers aren't

It's a really great backpack carrier, especially for the price. I love that it has proper backpack straps, especially if you're going to be walking with it a lot, and with a pet that has some weight to them. I feel like it could use a better way to pick it up when you're not using it as a backpack and just need to carry it to the car, or into the vets office, etc. There's one handle on the top, but it really needs two longer ones to be able to transport in that way.

I couldn’t take the flimsy duffle I was using anymore. I read other reviews on this backpack and I am so happy with it. So was our (15 pound) cat! It was sturdy whether it was upright or flat on ground and fit under the seat on the plane.

I bought this to use for my 16lb cat. I really like the design of the pack, except for the bottom. Where the bottom goes against my back, it was digging into my lower back. I'm 5'5', so maybe someone taller wouldn't have this issue. All of the weight is at that spot. There are straps to adjust, but that didn't help me very much.

Love love this backpack! I have two relatively large male cats (11 and 13 lbs) who outgrew their previous backpacks pretty quickly, so I had to update. I like that the bag is shaped like a carrier, but I can wear it securely as a backpack with the harness straps - great for my back as well. The cats love their bags too, they hang out in them and they seem to feel safe, which is most important. The material is also extremely sturdy, like thick denim and mesh, but is very breathable for the cats. Also a bonus, there are two pockets, so it's great for treats or food or toys on the road. Getting one bag for each of my boys was a solid choice and I'm sure they'll last a while!

I am fostering a 1.2 lb kitten (I know that doesn't help with the "does this fit my cat"). He absolutely loves it and hides out in there with his stuffed friends! It is super easy to carry and it provides a safe space with mesh so my older cats can see but not touch. My older cats fit in there one at a time (haven't managed to get them both in at the same time) and are 8 and 10 lbs.

Perfect for taking my cats on hikes and traveling with me wheather to the store or on the plane (one of my cats is my therapy animal.) It's easy to wash since everything zips apart, it has a built in adjustable leash system, it has hard checkered pads on the bottom so it doesnt ruin the cloth when setting the bag down on something like concrete, it has multiple entrances in case my babies are being fussy and want to go in it a certain way, it has double cushioning for comfort, the straps are comfy, it han be worn front wards or backwards, not to mention how sturdy it is... like seriously it's the sturdiest pet bag I have ever seen(iv been searching for the perfect one for a year)!

My cat is a big fan of the outdoors, but she is houdini when it comes to cat harnesses. This was a perfect compromise so that she would be safe while also tagging along to experience the outdoors. I would not recommend this as a general carrier though because when she was stressed out (waiting in for a vet appointment) she ended up scraping her nose raw from the mesh.

I selected this carrier for several different reasons. It's made in the USA. Quality,Quality,&Quality! Kitty has plenty of room for fit and comfort! She's really spoiled. I enjoy having her with me while I exercise and she kicks back for the ride. People think I'm taking a picnic-I say look closer. Then it's that's so COOL.
