This hard-sided pet carrier is a solid choice for safely transporting small to medium pets. The two-door design is especially helpful—being able to use the top entry makes placing my pet inside much easier, especially when they're anxious or uncooperative.The carrier feels durable and secure, with sturdy latches and a well-balanced handle for carrying. I also appreciate the thoughtful design with plenty of ventilation on all sides, including the top and back, so I know my pet is getting good airflow and staying calm.Assembly was simple, and the size comfortably fits my 14-pound cat with room to turn around. It’s a practical, affordable solution that gives me peace of mind when traveling to vet appointments or on longer trips.Highly recommend if you're looking for a no-fuss, dependable pet carrier.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I decided it was time to get a cat carrier that opens from the top as well after struggling to get my cat out of the front entrance of the carrier I had previously when we were at the vet. I went with this carrier since the price was reasonable. It was very easy to assemble in about 5 minutes (and I'm usually terrible at assembling things). I've only used it once taking my cat to the vet but so far it seems sturdy, and the top opening makes getting my cat in and our much easier.

Easy to assemble, sturdy, and secure. Cats haven't had any issues with it, nice and roomy for the average sized cat. Metal door is easy to pinch to open (I have arthritis and dont have any issues with it). The top also separates from the bottom though, if you need it. Overall very happy with this carrier, especially for the money spent.

Bought this travel carrier for my cats for when I bring them to the vet. It is a very sturdy and safe option for them that is also affordable which I appreciate. It is somewhat roomy inside, at least for a smaller cat, but some cats might have a little less easier time. Easy to carry as well. The carrier also has a top door which is super helpful for ease of access for me or the cat.

This is the best, it is built strong, although I wish the carry handle were stronger, but that is a problem for every one of these no matter what brand.This uses bolts and nuts to hold it together so this is very strong and will last a long time. The door is very solid and has good weight to it. The metal bars provide the most ventilation and ability for your car to see out from. This is a good size too, it should easily hold from my smallest to largest cats. My large cats are not those ones you need two arms to hold because they are huge. I would recommend something much bigger for those huge cats. I mean large heavy tabby cats like a Garfield cat would easily fit in this, and have plenty of room to stand and move around with.
