PetAmi Dog Backpack Carrier for Small Medium Dogs Large Cats up to 18 lbs, 2 Side Entry, Structured No-Collapse Frame, Airline Approved Ventilated Pet Backpack for Hiking Camping Travel Vet, Red

Wow, our Biewer Terrier absolutely loves this! Within five minutes of unboxing it, he was already curled up inside and completely comfortable. The quality surprised me in the best way, it’s sturdy but still lightweight, and the ventilation is great. I love that he can see out without feeling exposed, and the padding makes it feel really secure for him. The size is perfect for a small dog, and it’s incredibly easy to carry, even for longer periods. The straps are supportive and don’t dig into your shoulders, which is a huge plus. It also comes with a small water dish, which is such a thoughtful touch for outings. Overall, this PetAmi Dog Backpack Carrier has made traveling and getting out with our pup so much easier. Highly recommend for anyone with a smaller dog who wants something comfortable, practical, and well-made!

I have a 5lb Chiweenie and he fits perfectly in the backpack with plenty of room. It is very good quality, comfortable to wear and an extra bonus is it came with a portable water/food bowl! Very good price for the quality :)

This carrier is so worth the money! I have 2 of them, one for each vehicle. I put my 7 week old Chihuahua in it and took her everywhere with me. Now she is almost 2. I just put it up to her and she jumps right in. I take her to the grocery store and no one says a word. Of course she is well behaved so doesn’t bark at people. I think she is well behaved because she has always been allowed to go with me in this carrier. I put a baby blanket in the bottom to make it cozy. It’s very sturdy people are always asking where I got it. Update: It has now been almost 3 years since I wrote the above review. I am ordering a third because my son recently took one of the backpacks for his cat. These have stood up to nearly daily use. The zippers haven’t failed. And people still ask me where I got such a great animal backpack. My Chihuahua is 6 lbs and can easily turn around and lay down inside as well as see out both sides and the front if she sits up. Well ventilated and cozy for her.

Overall this is a good product. It's well designed and well made. The material is nice quality. The construction of the materials is quite good. The pack has two mesh side panels that allow air flow and a view for the animal. There also is a mesh top panel that can be unzipped to allow the animal to stick her/his head out. It also includes a sewn-in strap with a clip that can be attached to the animal's collar/harness. I recommend using it, as 2 of the 3 dogs we've used this for have jumped out. I also recommend having your animal in a harness as opposed to a collar in case they do jump out and get hung by the strap. The only drawback is that it is designed for short people (more below). This is why I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars. We've had the opportunity to use it for 3 different dogs on 3-5 mile hikes. 1. Dog 1: 15 lb Shi-Tzu - this is about the maximum recommended capacity for the pack. It works well. This dog fits fine but mainly only has the option to sit on the bottom of the pack -- there is no room for her to move around. She seems to like it and is happy to ride after she gets too tired to keep walking. She uses the side panels to look at her surroundings as opposed to sticking her head out of the top panel (like the dogs below). 2. Dog 2: 8 lb Poodle - perfect for this dog. The dog has plenty of room to move around and change positions. This dog prefers to stand on his back feet and stick his head out of the top panel while hiking. Very happy pup. He loves it. 3. Dog 3: 8 lb Jack Russell Terrier -- The pack is the right size for this dog. Situation is similar to that for the poodle. However, this dog does not have the temperament to stay in the pack. The dog crawls through the top opening (which we keep unzipped but can be zipped shut), puts his back paws on the top of the pack and his front paws on top of my head. This is where the strap that can attach to the collar is a good thing. This dog just prefers to keep hiking until he drops. He doesn't like the pack. Fit/Comfort for the Human: 1. The pack is designed for a short (or very short person). 2. Although I am too tall for the pack (5'10" tall), I do not find carrying the pack to be uncomfortable. This is because the maximum animal capacity is 15 lbs. Carrying 15 lbs + the weight of the pack (~2 lbs) is not very much weight, so the fit doesn't have to be perfect. 3. The bottom of the pack hits me at the bottom of my thoracic spine/top of my lumbar spine. If the pack were heavier, that would be uncomfortable. However, the pack is well padded, so it doesn't bother me even with a 15 lb dog in it. 4. The chest strap helps with pack comfort. 5. The hip strap is absolutely worthless (unless you are very short). If the pack were heavier, you would need the hip strap to balance/distribute the pack weight. However, since you're only carrying 15 lbs, you can get by without the hip strap. To give you an idea, the "hip" strap hits me (5'10" tall) at the bottom of my rib cage and above my waist. So it's not even close to my hips. The "hip" strap hits my husband (6'4" tall) across his nipples! So it's worthless. But, again, you don't really need it. Overall it's a good product. I think it's the best option available on Amazon. If you're tall and do a lot of hiking, you may want to do further research for a Thule or REI model. I may do this eventually, but it's fine for now. To the manufacturer: if you're interested in making a model for taller people, I'd be happy to provide feedback on fit.

Perfect 🤩 did its job, is still in great condition after many flights bringing back the pups Smell was strong but if you take out the mat and let it air out for a few days it’s gone. It carried a 12 pound lab all of 3 different flight’s and fit under the seat perfectly

Perfect for my 4kg Moodle who is a little anxious. The carrier is very well constructed with excellent safety features. It is easy to wear in front as well as on your back. Light weight and comes with a very useful pop-up water bowl.

Good quality backpack, met the expectation of the advert, spacious for my kitten she loves it. Only one recomendation when walking it appears to be bouncy maybe add on a waist strap.

Very nice quality feel my cat walks in and sit inside no fuss and will be using it for going out soon

I ordered this to transport my 3 year old cat when we move overseas. He is not particularly big or small, around 5 kg and it's definitely spacious enough for him to sit upright or lay down although he'd be a bit too long to stand on all 4 legs. The trip won't be longer than 12 hours and he will be able to get out of it for an hour or so in the middle to stretch his legs. The bag seems good quality on first inspection and comes exactly as advertised, including the colour, which is the exact shade shown on the listing (the lighter blue solid colour option). I would only say that it does look a bit flatter and not as plump as the pictures and the colour is not as matte as in the pictures due to it being a waterproof fabric. This doesn't really make any difference and it still looks good. It seems sturdy and the mesh feels very strong. It also has a leash inside, which is practical, although I will only leave that on him when he's supervised as it's quite long and not adjustable. It needs to be that long to allow the pet to both stand and lay down but could be a hazard if they freak out and wrap themselves in it. We haven't tried it out yet as it just arrived, but I will update this review with more details as we go.

My siberian kitten loves it. He got inside straight away. We have used it outside a couple of times so far, and he seems to be completely fine with it, it seems sturdy. But he is only 2 kg for now, so time will tell if it survives him growing :)
