dbest products Pet Smart Cart Carrier, Medium, Black, Soft Sided Collapsible Folding Travel Bag, Dog Cat Airline Approved Tote Luggage Backpack

My 10-year-old Jack Russell has never been on a plane before so I was quite nervous about this trip. She is quite large at 20 pounds and long. She's pretty much at or over the maximum size that I would consider OK to fly with. Thus I was quite nervous about this trip. I have spent many hours online and in-store researching and checking out various bags.The first bag I tried was the large Sherpa that is so popular. I stuffed her in one at Petsmart, she did not like it at all. She had no room to move around and could not even come close to lifting her head up. I was surprised considering the dimensions of the Sherpa. I even checked to make sure I had the right size.I was then going to try the large Sturdibag, which is the carrier that I really wanted. But it is shaped like a dome and smaller than the Sherpa I tried. The dome would not give her any room on top.The carrier I almost bought was the Petsfit expandable. I think this would have worked, but i was looking for something just a tiny bit larger.Then I found this large Dbest carrier at Pet Supermarket. I tried it out, and much to my surprise even though it's only an extra inch or 2 in dimensions versus the other 3, there just appeared to be a lot more room for her. This is due to the design of this bag, which is the best I've seen so far. You will notice that it is tapered towards the back to fit under the seat, and it is square on top. This meant she wasn't so confined. She could still turn around, which she certainly could not do in the Sherpa. Thus this is the least claustrophobic of all of the bags that I have seen. Plus I figured I could used the wheels since I was packed carrying other bags.I flew Southwest, which is very dog friendly. The only other airline that I know of is Spirit that takes 20lb+ dogs. SW is $95 and Spirit is $125 for carrying dogs. SW is best since they also let you check 2 bags free. Ultimately it depends on who goes nonstop.You can see from the pictures that it did stick out 2", but the stewardess did not bat an eye at this. They didn't even notice that I had my dog until I was exiting the plane. Plus I would recommend you get the black carrier, as you really can't tell that there's a dog inside. They think it's luggage. And there is still plenty of ventilation. I did notice that you will want to sit in either the window seat which I was at, or the middle seat which gives you even more room. The aisle seat, although I still think she would have fit, would've really been a small space, and I would not of been able to put my feet on either side. Only the middle seat, would allow me to put a foot on each side. I did not have a problem with the size of the bag or foot space. But then I am fairly skinny.Now as for the Velcro on the bottom. I detached the wheel platform of course before I boarded the plane. Used the shoulder strap to carry her on and stuck the wheel platform in the overhead bin. The main issue people noted about this carrier, is the 2 Velcro strips that are needed to attach the wheel platform, now are a nuisance because it grabs the carpet and and makes it hard to slide under the seat. I had to stick my arm underneath and use my hand as a buffer between the Velcro and the carpet to get it to slide backwards. I'm still not sure I got it all the way back. All hard with dog Inside. It was only the rear Velcro that was an issue. I was able to do this, but on a packed plane, I can see this may be a problem for some people. I would recommend that you bring a piece of cardboard or something similar so you could put it under the carrier and slide it under the seat easily.I did not have any problems with the telescoping handle, or the wheels falling off as some people have noted. As far as I'm concerned this is the only bag I would ever fly with for a dog my size. With the possible exception of the Petlife expandable.One other thing I certainly recommend, is as you can see the small bag of treats that I brought along. My dog would NOT put her head down so I could zip up the top, and instead gave me that stubborn look. She would for the treats however in order to get them.Well done Dbest, you saved the day!PS. I will post pics ASAP.

This crate was great for my 14lb pooch. I took her on several practice trips to various stores and had her spend time in the crate before traveling. At first she scratched on the screens, etc. but with the help of treats and hanging out watching tv with a bone, she was ready to fly. The unit is very stable, wheels work great on smooth surfaces. It fit under the seat of a small UnitedExpress aircraft without taking the wheels off. We practiced taking wheels on & off and it is awkward while the dog is in the crate, so I was happy it fit so easily. I used 2 caribeneer clips to hold the zippers secure and allow my hand to go in the cage without the dog escaping. People had no idea there was an animal inside. Love the water pocket, treat pocket & the roomy leash pouch fit a water bowl & a bone. It's lightweight and easy to carry with the shoulder strap (Although I changed mine out with a more comfortable & stylish strap) 5 stars for Function & Style!

The best pet carrier I've found. I have a wiggly 24-lb French bulldog, a bit too heavy and unwieldy to carry long distances in an airport (picture two moving bowling balls in a bag), so this wheeled carrier was just what I was looking for. Why not five stars? There are a few design quirks that make this tougher to use/travel with than it should be.First, the PROS:- The Large size is CONFIRMED to fit under a Southwest Airlines seat. I wasn't sure--even based on another reviewer's feedback--since the reported under-seat dimensions didn't seem vertically tall enough to accommodate this carrier. It does fit. (Pro tip: Pick the middle seat, which has more horizontal room than the window seat and far more than the aisle seat.)- Plenty of room in the Large carrier. My 24-lb French bulldog has enough room to turn around or even curl into half the carrier if he's napping all balled up. (He's a very muscular and compact 24 lbs, so please check the dimensions of the carrier against your pet since some fluffier, less muscular 20-lb dogs are somehow twice his size.) It's not quite tall enough for him to sit upright, but you don't want him doing that when it's rolling--it can wobble a bit due to the shifting weight.- The sides are rigid enough to hold the roof off your pet's head--unlike many soft carriers which collapse--but they can be squeezed down a bit if needed. He is not a fan of the soft-sided Southwest carrier that basically rests on top of his head even if he's lying down.- Handle is plenty long for someone of average height (I'm 5'10") to pull without having to lean over at all.- The tapered design allows a much easier fit under a plane seat. Push the narrow (solid fabric) end in, keep the taller mesh side facing you. It's then easy to unzip a corner and feed your pet ice cubes or treats during a flight.- The outside pocket is nice and roomy for carrying a leash, a toy or some poop bags.- Has a seatbelt strap on one side, for safe carriage in a vehicle- Has a mesh pocket for water bottles- Has a removable, washable, soft plush bottom surface, which is comfy for pets but easily cleaned in the sink- Wheelbase is removable, leaving this as a standard carrier with a rigid bottom and sturdy handle on top- Lightweight and folds completely flat--only a few inches tall folded flat with the wheelbase attached, good for storage- Wheels are sturdy enough to smoothly navigate all over a large airport (but I wouldn't try them on rough, potholed city streets)- Velcroed wheel platform can be attached in either direction, so you can pull the carrier with the mesh side facing the handle (you) or with the mesh side facing backward. That came in handy when *cough* sneaking my pet into a hotel that wanted to charge us a $150 nonrefundable pet fee for a night. In the black color, this can pass as regular wheeled luggage.- Includes an integrated leash/collar strap to ensure your pet doesn't run off the second you unzip the carrier.- Two zippered openings for the pet--one on the tall end (full mesh) and one on the top that wraps down the other, shorter side (solid fabric). I find it's easier to put him in through the top opening and let him come out the side opening.- The wheel base and handle assembly can fit nicely into the large pocket of a standard backpack, which you can place in the overhead as your personal item.- Southwest's crew doesn't seem to care that the front juts out a few inches, because guess what? The seatback in front of you also sways backward even farther than this carrier sticks out from under it. (The reason I mention SWA is that they're one of the few airlines that permits pets under seats in the cabin. Other airlines may be far more rigid about the rules.)And now for the CONS:- The handle and wheels are lightweight, but this also means they're delicate. They both fared very well through taxi rides and gentle handling by me in the airport. If you plan to yank and slam the handle around, pushing it in or pulling it out before it's properly oriented, prepare for it to break. If you plan to use these wheels on rough city streets, prepare for them to break. If you can be gentle with them, you should get years of use out of this carrier.- The wheels can't be pushed too much farther out to the sides, but if you're on uneven ground and an unruly pet is for some reason sitting his/her butt on the WALL of the carrier, it may tip over. This happened twice, and sure enough, Frenchie butt went tumbling sideways. Now I make sure he's not leaning on a side wall before I have to pull over a bump.- The Velcro on the bottom makes it SO hard to get this carrier under a plane seat. It has a couple of purposes: (1) to attach the carrier to the wheel base, and (2) to prevent the carrier from sliiiiding out from under the seat during the hard acceleration of takeoff. Due to the fact that this carrier will be quite tightly wedged under the seat anyway, reason (2) is pretty much not needed. With that said, I don't know why the sticky side of the Velcro wasn't put on the wheel base and the non-sticky side on the carrier. If you plan to use this on a plane and you aren't totally nimble, somewhat narrow and OK with getting up close and personal with the filth of a plane carpet, don't bother. To get this to actually slide under a plane seat, I have to get on my knees between the two rows of seats and put something very thin (e.g., the plane's safety card or drink card) between the carrier and the plane's carpet. Otherwise, that Velcro is not joking around. It will stick to the carpet, and you won't be able to budge the carrier unless you try to swipe your hand between the two to break the bond.- It's somewhat difficult to perfectly align the Velcro strips on the base with the Velcro strips on the carrier if you've got a pet in the carrier and are trying to do this yourself in a plane seat. And they need to be perfectly aligned for balance reasons and to ensure a solid connection.- In addition to the Velcro, there are two Velcroed straps that secure over a crossbar (housing the handle) running under the wheelbase. Those straps are a pain in the . . . If you're trying to get the wheel base back on by yourself with a pet inside, you have to lift the carrier with pet inside high enough to get the wheel base under it with both straps folded OUT. Then you have to lift or tilt the carrier enough to feel for which strap goes on top of the other--and you have to get them taut. Otherwise, they'll drag on the ground and not provide any security at all. All this juggling can be nerve-racking for the animal inside the carrier. I really wish the carrier-to-base connection had been some sort of snap or lever connection on the edges.With all these critiques, this is still the roomiest rolling carrier I've found that can fit under a plane seat. Due to three hours of delays on our trip, my Frenchie had to spend about 9 hours in the carrier, and he wasn't too ornery when he finally got out. Pics of him in the carrier are uploaded.

Super bien, la recomiendo mucho. Caben mis doa perritas shitzu apretadas, obvio es para un viaje corto si van las dos. Ya si quieres en un viaje largo solo seria para 1. Si es muy resistente y no pesa tanto comparado con otras de rueditas

Solid carrier! Mine didn’t come with the arm strap but handle works just fine. Like the additional attachment for their collar inside and the nice soft bedding is great as well. My cat loves it!

I really really love this pet cart, the first time I used it, it was pouring rain outside and the fabric dries really fast, it needs very little space to store because you can fold it. My dog weight 22 pounds and he is comfortable inside and can move around easily, my cart is a Large size, I would not suggest it for a dog that weight more than that, the dog would fit too tight inside. The people on the street was looking at the cart with a big smile on their face and find it beautiful and original. The only thing with this cart, is when I walk my dog, sometime he was moving around a lot inside it and the cart fall on the side a couple of times, and I wish it will not twist and break the metal handle eventually. I suggest the manufacturer to put another 1 or 2 layers of Velcro under the bag to solidify it on the cart.

Brilliant for my big cat for his vet check as I don’t drive. He actually enjoyed the trip home. Lounging like a boss and he rolled along. Well made and sturdy

Mi perrita fue operada y gracias a esto hemos podido salir sin complicaciones . Esta feliz
