This carrier has received more attention from my Yorkie rescue people and the little dogs, than anything else I have ever purchased.
I needed to get to Florida for x-mas to see my mother, and I had to take the dogs with me. Southwest was very picky about what would and would not fit under their seats and after much research, a stellar review from a Wayfair customer convinced me to try this carrier, and if it didn't fit the bill, my Petco store was armed with 20 different styles, all of which I had shoved my precious little cargo into over the course of a weekend.
The carrier arrived, I opened it, introduced it to my two little canines, and within minutes they were scooting in and out and exploring it, and curling up. I practiced zipping them in, and then tilting it up so they would switch position to ride in a seated position while on wheels,. They seemed to really enjoy it.
The day of travel arrived. They scooted in. Were perfect for the entire trip from 8 - 3, when they were able to get out and do there thing at the approved airport rest-stop.
There were two things that were not good about the small size carrier - the bar that you insert mid way in the front made the crate not pliable and my chihuahua had to scrap past it each time he got in, and the zipper is sew in wrong in the lower corner, so getting them in and out at the airport, and in one tight situation was almost a "panic" situation. I came home, ordered the next size - medium - which is WAY big for these two and the bar does not obstruct their entry or moving around. It will hold up to 15 pound dog, and these two weigh under 8 lbs together so their is plenty (maybe too much) room for them. This works as a bed, a var seat, a back pack, and an on-wheels carry-on, and most people never noticed they were even there. The wheels rolls wheel, the handle telescopes nicely, and I am glad I had a small blanket to cover the front while waiting outside for my ride in the cold Philadelphia wind.
Except for the small size zipper not properly working (and I think I will exchange it for a working zippered small) I think this was fabulous. I put the link up on our RescuemeYorkie website because they all wanted to know where I got it. Well constructed, not a flimsy thing about it. Luxury for a non-luxury price.!! Thank you.!!"..."
