K&H Pet Products Travel Safety Pet Carrier

This is the only review I have written. I first ordered the large carrier for my two dogs to share. Travel has always been stressful for them and me, but this carrier is SUCH high quality. It works great, there are many options for how to get them in/out and straps on the back to allow for the seatbelt. It worked so well I ordered a medium for my cats as we have a big move coming up. Carriers are expensive but I know the quality of these will allow them to be around for a long time. I’m really happy. For size reference my dogs are both 15 pounds and there is an ABSURD amount of space in the large. Even the medium is nice and spacious.

I purchased this carrier so it would be easier to transport my puppy to the vet and for obedience classes. The carrier itself is very sturdy and seems to be well made. The problem I had is that there was simply NO instruction for hooking it into the car. The harness that is to go around the head rest does not lock into place and slips loose easily. The only indication of instructions is a picture on the front of the box. I did hook the seatbelt through the back strap but had to tie a knot in the seat harness so that it would stop slipping. This really needs to be a better design.

My cats' new Teepee. They are playing Cowboy and Indian with all 3 sides open. The mesh flaps can fold under base. They love it. I set it up in the living room (not too unsightly, and yes I got the L size for my 2 little rambunctious fatties and not regretting it because they can sit up comfortably) I am training them inside the house before taking them on a car trip. I have yet to set up small litter box inside their 'canopy bed'. The only complaint is the base could be a little more solid but it is a small suggestion for improvement. Otherwise nicely made and very functional and good quality, though pricey. A very happy purchase. I recommend highly. L Size for 2 cats or an average size dog My cats' new Teepee.

My dog is very comfy in this, as a pup who is scared of the car, it makes him more comfortable. He can’t really stand up in in though or look out the window (I have a Honda Civic) but in a van he may be able to see out the window. It’s good to know he’s safe in the backseat so I don’t have to worry while I drive

I recently moved nine hours away from home and wanted to find something good for my cat for the long drive back and forth for visits. I didn’t want to have to get her out of her carrier so she could stretch her legs and didn’t want her roaming free either and this car seat is the perfect size for that! She can stretch out to sleep while we’re moving and stand up and move around when I’m stopped. I also love how it buckles in and folds up for storage. The size medium *just* fits in my front passenger seat and my cat has twice the room she needs. She’ll even sit in it for fun if I leave it out in my apartment!

My dog fit well into this car carrier. I am impressed with the way the carrier fits tight and secure using the seat belt and head rest. The mesh material allows him to see what’s going on, and the cushion that comes along with it on the bottom makes it soft and comfy.

I wanted 1) a carrier that can be secured to a car seat in both a 4-door sedan and a small hatchback; 2) something tall enough so that my dog could comfortably lay down or sit up at least long enough to turn around; 3) breathable with multiple points of entry; 4) something easy to lift/that i could also carry out of a car. pros: 1) this is the tallest carrier I could find with a way to slip the seatbelt through AND clip around a headrest without being so huge that it takes up multiple seats; 2) It is possible to open it in multiple ways from three sides; 3) my dog can lay down comfortably in it. cons: 1) On the sides, you can unzip a smaller mesh section and also the entire side, which I wanted 1) a carrier that can be secured to a car seat in both a 4-door sedan and a small hatchback; 2) something tall enough so that my dog could comfortably lay down or sit up at least long enough to turn around; 3) breathable with multiple points of entry; 4) something easy to lift/that i could also carry out of a car. pros: 1) this is the tallest carrier I could find with a way to slip the seatbelt through AND clip around a headrest without being so huge that it takes up multiple seats; 2) It is possible to open it in multiple ways from three sides; 3) my dog can lay down comfortably in it. cons: 1) On the sides, you can unzip a smaller mesh section and also the entire side, which is of a stiffer material, and that stiffer material is what keeps the shape of the entire carrier. This means if you unzip one of the entire stiffer sides, the whole shape of the carrier collapses. If you need to flatten it for storage, i suppose this is no big deal, but if you wanted to make it easier for your dog to get into it by unzipping the whole side, this is bad design. It would have made more sense to have a removable tubing or other shape-holding device attached to the main body of mesh so that you could unzip the whole side without the carrier collapsing on itself. 2) It has zippered portions you can open on the sides and front...why not also have a zippered portion on the top of the carrier as well so my dog could poke his head out of the top when he's sitting up? 3) The flimsy little pad that is included is a nice idea, but kind of worthless. It slides around and bunches up everywhere when the dog moves, and doesn't really provide a lot of cushion anyway, so it's basically used to wipe his paws with, and remove so it doesn't get in his way. 4) it would have been nice to be able to convert into a carrier that can be easily carried by a human (backpack or shoulder carry strap attachment points). it is a bit awkward to carry outside of a car. Conclusion: i don't hate it enough to return because i haven't found something that fits my desires better yet, but if i had found something else, i would have gone with that. Something else to keep in mind: this is meant to contain your pet in a temporary way during transport; this is NOT some kind of crash-test rated sturdy thing that will protect your pet in a crash, if that's what you're looking for. On the same note about sturdiness, also make sure your pet is crate-trained/does not have anxiety about being put in a carrier. If your pet is not used to being confined, even smaller pets could damage the material. … more

After searching for several days and many websites, I finally found a reasonable-priced, well constructed travel carrier for my 45 pound boxer mix:-) This carrier is just what I wanted/needed. It was easy to set up and place in my vehicle, and best of all has 3 entrances that zip. Zora has learned to jump up into an opened entrance in my car's back seat where I secured the carrier. I then zip her in and take off! So thankful that she is comfortable, secure, and my car's interior is protected from her nails.

My dog loves the car seat! She gets very excited to go in and will immediately lay down. She is able to see and feels very comfortable and it keeps her safe! My dog is a 6 mo, 20lb corgi - I ordered a medium and it is the perfect size.

It’s sturdy, it’s cozy for my pup, and I feel much safer knowing he can have his own safe space in the car. We took the pup glamping recently, this crate doubled as his tent. Happy pup, happy mom!
