EliteField Soft Sided Pet Carrier (3 Year Warranty, Airline Approved), Multiple Sizes and Colors Available (Large: 19" L x 10" W x 13" H, Black)

We have six cats, and the pet carrier we have been using up to now is a plastic one that is over 25 years old. So I figured it was time for an updated model. This Elitefield pet carrier really meets our needs. The construction quality seems to be very good with large, smoothly operating zippers and a couple of pockets to carry extras like treats, documents, etc. The carrier is very lightweight and easily carried by the handle. It comes with a shoulder strap that can be used for carry also. There is plenty of mesh so the cat breathe well and can see out of the carrier not only on the sides but also up above. The bottom platform is firm but has some soft material on it for comfort, and it can be removed easily for cleaning if needed. For leashed animals, there is a short leash inside the carrier to keep your pet attached to the carrier if desired. I had to take one of our cats to the vet today, and it was nice having a port that I could stick my hand into to pet her and reassure her. About the only negative to mention about this case is that since there is mesh on the top of this carrier your pet can get wet if carried out in the rain. That’s a minor issue, though, and should not sway you from buying this pet carrier.Overall, this is a very nice pet carrier and worth its cost. I purchased the large sized carrier since one of our cats is pretty big and almost 15 lbs in weight. It would work out fine for small dogs, too.

This carrier is well made and attractive. It was definitely designed with a cat or small dog in mind. They can see out and definitely have good air flow and comfort.

I bought this carrier to use for air travel with my 3.5 pound Pomeranian puppy. He will have barely enough room to stand up and turn around, but it meets the airline’s requirements for size. I am disappointed to see that the zipper ends are quite crushed (from being folded down in the package). I try to firm them into the correct shape, but cannot. Perhaps with time they will be able to hold their proper shape. I hope so, because other than that, the carrier seems quite nice. I added a blanket to add some soft cushioning to the rather thin fleece panel bottom that comes with carrier and is attached to the top only of a plastic board. The board is stiff enough to help hold the shape of the “floor” and just sturdy enough so that it won’t bend under the weight of the puppy. Being plastic, the board is quite light-weight, which I like. I ordered the blue color. I would describe the color I received as “turquoise.” It is not a true blue as it appears in the photograph - just a hint “greener” without being green. It’s a pretty color - I don’t mind it at all - it’s actually a little more interesting/unique than the true light blue would have been. I deducted one star because of the bent frames on the ends. I was tempted to deduct 2 stars for this, because it limits the dog’s headroom ever so slightly, but overall the carrier seems well-made and seems like it will do the job. I have attached a photo of one of the bent ends, as well as a photo of me trying to hold it up in its intended position. I will update my review after the flight...

Best bit about this carrier is how easily my cat will go into it. He LOVES hanging out in here even after two flights and two long AMTRAK trips. It is spacious enough for him to turn around, sturdy enough to be easily carried, and flexible enough to squish ALL the way under the seat in front of me, if flight attendants are being picky (I purchased the size XL).

When I adopted my kittens they were very small at 8 weeks old. I purchased a small version of this carrier at that time and found it to be very comfortable for my cats, sturdy and safe (the seat belt can be put through two loops on the side of this carrier instead of through the handle on top of their hard carrier which would not stay in place if something happened). As my girls grew I realized I really liked this carrier but now it only had room for one cat (great when taking only one cat to the vet) so I searched and found the large version. Amazon had the best price so I purchased it. I highly recommend this carrier!

I like that the carrier is soft and easy to store. It’s relatively sturdy for being just a firm bottom. Unfortunately my cat is a little wild and starts flipping out and the whole carrier rolls with him. Overall it’s smaller than it appears in pictures, so I took a star off for that and the one side is only a useless window, not a second full entrance/exit so took the second star off for that design flaw. Works alright for small/young cats.

The netting is only from the middle up which I feel makes this carrier much safer in transfers. Also, there is a small moon shape zippered opening that I can leave open. It is not big enough for my cat to get out of but also lets her look outside the carrier, perhaps not feeling so trapped. The side zippered door where you place your pet in and out of is sturdy. It has two zippers, and you need to be sure to have both zippers at the bottom of the carrier together when zipped shut, otherwise your pet can push the zippers apart. I searched for a carrier a long time and I am super happy with this one. I also think it is a great price and my cat can stand and move around.

I was not expecting this carrier to be as good as it is. Yes it is flexible but the handles work well. I can put the seatbelt on through the handles for secure vehicle handling. Light weight make sure you check the sizes as they run try to size.

Sturdy soft travel case with some handy pockets and good handles & straps. Cat who doesn’t care for crates hopped right in!

Used the kennel on the car for the first time. Good fit for my puppy. Wish it opened up from the top so easier to clean.
