Starr: This is a great carrier for small dogs when traveling. It fits right under the plane seats. Every airline I've flown with has never had any complaints about the size. I've had this product for about 4 years now and it's still holding up with all the traveling. Most places I stay at when traveling require my dog to be put in a kennel when leaving, but this carrier expands 3 different ways which is basically a mini kennel! Quality is definitely there as I travel frequently and it has zero rips at seams. I would recommend this product easily!!

K R Connolly: Did quite a bit of research to find the correct size for my puppy to fly home under the seat. Dents was very specific for the type of aircraft. Even though their website said it could be 11” tall the flight I was in required i to be less than 9 1/2” high. This carrier bag worked out. It has sides that can expand with a zipper so that totally helped give him more room and they are mesh so he could see. It was a bit awkward carrying only because he would be on one side so he wasn’t centered. Nice fleece pad inside. Worked out for intended use.

slf: Here’s the deal, by the time all of the extensions are zipped close, your pet has WAY too little room. This carrier would fit an animal comfortably if and only if that animal was the size of a standard football. Otherwise, no dice. The extensions may be helpful if you aren’t going anywhere but as soon as you have to pick up the carrier and go somewhere, the extensions need to be zipped and the pet is left with a pretty claustrophobic space. Returning this item. My cat was panting non stop while she was in it.

BeccaBecca: *ATTENTION MILITARY FAMILIES*
This is the only pet carrier that you will find that will fit the requirements for your pet to fly in cabin on the rotator. So yes, get this one!
I was flying from Okinawa Japan to the states, if that helps :)
My cat was 14lb Maincoon and fit ok in it. When it was completely open expanded (which I did on the plane) he was totally comfortable.
I highly recommend getting your pet a portable personal fan to keep them cool.
The side pockets are amazing so you can pack travel bowls, food, meds, etc.
This bag is very sturdy and had no issues with it.

*Extra advise to those worried about your pet being comfortable or if this carrier is too small. Unlike the rotator, other flight companies don’t care lol so grab a larger carrier (backpack style that also expands) pack it in your luggage or carry on if you have room. When you get your bags swap the carriers. When you have to run to your gates with all your luggage and everything else, your going to want your pet secure on you so your shoulder doesn’t give out trying to carry them. Plus my cat was so thankful to stand up after being in the other carrier laying down for some time and...

DeanT: Last week I was travelling overseas with my miniature Yorkie stored this bag. It was the most suitable pet carrier ever. You can simply adjust it to the shape of available space which is making your pet very comfortable indeed.
I wish I can fly in such a comfortable manner as my doggie ;)
