Mr. Peanut's Gold Series Big Apple XL Expandable Airline Approved Soft Sided Pet Carrier, Premium Brand Self Locking Zippers, Plush Faux Fleece Bedding with a Sturdy Plywood Base (Platinum Gray)

Hands down the best quality and most attractive design we’ve found. Such a thoughtful design, with plenty of ventilation, openings, and space for our precious pup. Very sturdy as well, which is a standout amongst other expandable bags on the market

This is my first ever Amazon review, and I wanted to be sure to write one about this product for all those who love their precious fur babies.I recently traveled with United Airlines from NJ to AZ. This was my furbabies first flight and I wanted to make sure it would be as smooth and comfortable for him as possible. Though I already had a carrier, it was cheap and beat up so I decided to purchase a new one! I am so glad I did.As soon as I took this carrier out the box, the quality and design compared to the $30 dollar carrier I originally had was excellent. This carrier is sturdy and perfect for my fur baby, who is about 12lbs. It’s important to note that this carries exceeds the TSA length requirement by 2 inches, but I had no problem getting through and boarding onto my flight with United.As mentioned before, I really appreciate the quality of this carrier. It’s obvious that it’s design for the comfort of my pet but also myself as well. The shoulder strap provided comfortable support for carrying. I also appreciated the liner/bed inside the carrier. My kitty loved its plush and took to it well! It’s super easy to clean which is an awesome bonus.Another important things to note is the quality of the mesh windows. My old carrier had mesh made out of fabric that easily ripped, the quality of this carrier is so much better and is sturdy enough to withstand claws. The fold up parts of the mesh windows seemed to be finicky at first, but came in handy when actually traveling through the airport as I was able to close and open them whenever I needed.This carrier quickly became my kitties safe place. He is typically not fond of being stuck in a bag, but with its spaciousness Mr. Peanuts Pet Carrier changed the game for us!

I took my Chiweinie on a trip and needed a large enough but comfortable carrier for her to make the trip in. After searching for some time, I settled for this carrier, and while she isn't use to being in a carrier, she did well on the trip to and back from our destination. It's expandable for additional room, pockets for meds, papers, etc...a carry handle, and a strap to take it on a shoulder. It's vented so there is ventilation and the cushion in it is comfortable as well. I recommend this or any Mr. Peanuts carriers for your pet.

The media could not be loaded. Our french bulldog weights 21 pounds, 20 inc from top of head to tail in length and about 15 inches from top of her head to the floor in height. You can see in the video my wife trained her for about 3 weeks before our first flight in the carrier by taking her to work everyday in it in the car. The dog lays comfortably in the carrier and sleeps. She used treats to initially get her in the carrier and treats to lay down when we need to close the carrier. I included a picture on travel days and you can see we attached to our large check in luggage and move through the airport with her out like in the picture. She is comfy in it. United Airlines Denver, San Diego, Sacramento, LAX gave us a hard time that carrier was too small for her. We travel with her quite a bit and United airlines in various locations is never consistent. United claims to "make an exception" and let us board with carrier. She fits comfortably in Economy Plus under the seat for united. We haven't flown another airline but will with the dog because they are inconsistent and indicated that bag has to cover her head according to United's "policy". Overall we and the dog like the bag and use it in the car for all rides. It has two straps on one side where you can secure the seat belt to the carrier.

Appears to be sturdy, but did not work as described. The "pop out" side is so small that my cat could not lay in it. She could lay in the carrier and stick her feet into the side section, but she chose to stand the whole time because it was overall to small. The furry bottom liner was soft, but not fully waterproof.
