PetAmi Dog Backpack Carrier for Small Large Cat, Pet, Puppy, Ventilated Pet Hiking Backpack Travel Bag, Airline Approved Cat Backpack Carrier, Camping Biking Dog Bag Up to 18lbs Pet, Grey

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.

We love it!! My fur baby jumps into the backpack cause he is ready to head out to wherever I plan to go :) He has plenty of space , ventilation, and can view where im at all times. He feels safe and comfortable. I enjoy the idea of it being a backpack carrier because it free my hands to carry of hold other things.

Well made. This model has a metal frame that makes the bag more sturdy and also keeps the sides of the bag from folding in and crowding the dog. Other backpack dog carriers I have owned have not offered the same level of comfort and safety that this bag provides to my beloved dog baby.

Because my familiars are strictly-indoors-only cats, I wanted to give them the option of going outside safely to enjoy some sunshine and new scenery sometimes. However, because the risk of running away into traffic or picking up fleas wasn't worth going the usual harness+leash route for us, we thought a backpack would be a good alternative. The PetAmi Deluxe carrier backpack has all the bells and whistles you could want - multiple pockets, two-way entry, safety strap, etc.Unfortunately, none of my 3 furry friends have wanted anything to do with the backpack while testing it indoors. I haven't been able to go outside because otherwise they'd serenade the entire neighborhood with the song of their people (aka wild yowling as if being tortured).TEST SUBJECT 1) My largest is a big-boned house panther weighing at about 15 lbs so naturally he seemed cramped and uncomfortable on the mere 30 seconds we managed to coax him inside this carrier. The bottom panel immediately buckled under him and created a comically V-shaped base forcing him to slide to the middle. I may as well have put him in a typical Jansport backpack.TEST SUBJECT 2) Our similarly built tuxedo can sort of fit IF she feels like curling up into a loaf and all the planets align too.TEST SUBJECT 3) The smallest kitty in our clowder is a 12 lb calico and theoretically would fit just fine, but she still views this backpack as a trap to be avoided at all costs. :( That said, despite the relentless clawing at the openings, the zippers reinforced with safety buckles outside did NOT budge. This was impressive to me as her middle name is Daggerpaw for a reason; she normally can destroy anything that has wronged her or simply existed in her personal space (ie. everywhere).RESULTS: In my opinion, the advertised weight capacity of 18 lbs is rather generous. This carrier might be more appropriate for kittens or slender, compact pets. You also want to consider that even if they do technically "fit" inside, you would want them to be able to comfortably adjust and not be packed tightly like sardines.If you're not having good luck either, I recommend being patient and taking baby steps. Leave the bag out near their favorite napping spot to coax your kitty into exploring on their own terms. I would have liked to be able to leave both openings unzipped but the bag flops over without the support of at least one side connected to the back/front. Next, hide a treat or favorite toy inside as a reward. So far in the 6 months of owning this carrier, the furthest I've gotten in terms of voluntary participation is a half-in-half-out cat nap (see photo of stubborn tuxedo princess). Obviously, do not push your pet too far if they show signs of discomfort; a friend purchased a similar backpack and immediately took their cat out for a walk only to deal with a mess of vomit due to a nervous kitty in a new environment.Anyways, I can't comment yet on long-term use, though in the few attempts of testing I did notice immediately what other reviewers pointed out about lower back discomfort. If I can ever convince my cats to use this backpack with me, I plan on sewing some extra padding for me.Moreover, if your heart is set on cute bonding time over hikes with your cat, I strongly suggest to start getting them used to the process when they are young. Our oldest two are over a decade old and have been very reluctant to try this compared to our 2-year-old cat, which I should have expected given the age difference but new pet owners may not have thought about it.tldr; Well constructed pet carrier backpack albeit slightly uncomfortable to carry for the human depending on pet size. Probably better suited for smaller animals (<12-ish lbs). Looks great as floor decor if your cat refuses to cooperate.

Our dog, Toto, 10 lbs., fits in it quite well and seems to be okay in it.

This carrier was perfect for our trip with our 22 pound Pug. We flew Alaskan Airlines with no problems and it fits perfectly under the seats. The pockets were convient and held a lot of stuff. Overall very satisfied with this product.

I have two of these backpacks one for each one of my cats. They are made well and perfect for traveling to and from the vet and also for fire drills in my condo building. I wear one on my back and the other in front and it's easy to get down stairs when the fire alarm goes off. They also fold nicely and don't take up a lot of room in my closed. Highly recommend this backpack for cats and small dogs.
