About this item

  • DESIGNED FOR CATS & RABBITS ONLY: It’s made for cats and other SMALL pets such as rabbits. NOT FOR DOGS. Don’t buy it for your dog and make yourself have to return this. Please measure your pet before you purchase this carrier. Our bag dimensions are the exterior measurements and your pet should be AT LEAST 2 inches smaller on either side for a comfortable travel. Do not select carrier based on weight capacity only.
  • AIRLINE & TSA APPROVED: 4 Side Expandable Pet Carrier Bag with open top for your cat or rabbit. Perfect Cat Carrier to transport your cat or (very) small dog safely. Don't turn up to the airport only for the gate agent to tell you the dreaded words "You cannot bring that on the plane". With our TSA Approved Cat Carrier you can be confident of a smooth journey
  • 4 WAY EXPANDABLE: You may be sitting in economy, but your cat can enjoy a first class experience thanks to our 4 way expandable pet carrier. Once boarded, simply zip open the 4 sides of this cat carrier to give your furry buddy a space almost 4 times the size of the pet carrier when it's closed.
  • Internal Leash: Worried about your pet jumping out of the bag when you open it? We've got you covered. This luxury carrier comes with an included 21" leash that attaches to the inside. You can now safely open it and feed your pet without them escaping.
  • Top-Loading Roof, With Zipper & Velcro Mesh: The pet carrier comes with a top entry zipper, for easy access to your pet when the carrier is sitting at your feet while you're on the airplane. The mesh roof also lets you see your pet from above, even while it's closed.
  • Internal Washable Pad: Travelling can often cause pet anxiety, which can cause pee accidents. That's why we lined the bottom of our pet carrier with an easily removeable, washable, re-usable pad. Machine wash & dry.

Customers like the size of the animal carrier. For example, they mention it fits the space like a glove, is perfect for their pet, and fits nicely on top of their carry on.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect pet carrier.
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2020
This carrier was exactly what I needed. I needed a pet carrier to pick up our new puppy from the airport. I searched stores and anything and everything on line. There are many that say they will fit on a plane. You really need to go by the requirements the airline you are traveling with. They all are different and so are the bags! This bag has the exact requirements Alaska airlines/horizon require. I brought home a fluffy 15lb sheepadoodle puppy in it. He didn’t have a lot of room to move but enough for him to lay down The sides were soft enough he was able to turn around in it. Each end expands open and we opened one end to give him a little more room. This carrier is perfect for a smaller dog, puppy or cat. There are plenty of zippered pouches to put potty pads, treats or whatever. The shoulder strap was nice, thick, durable and comfortable for carrying. This bag is not tall, as you can tell from the pictures. My puppy looks squished in but he did have room There is not much room for standing unless you have a small pet. I went with the airline requirements and this bag fit perfect under the seat with no problems. This bag is perfect for any type of traveling and I highly recommend it. I wish I could use it again but I have no small pets.
