(More customer reviews)We purchased this "backpack" as transport for our new papillon puppy because we wanted an easy way to tote our pet while riding on a bike or traveling via air.This is a good idea gone wrong.I'm not entirely sure anyone ever actually put a pet in the carrier.
As a handheld carrier, it's OK, but as a backpack it stinks.Our papillon is about 8 pounds and has a pretty small frame.She'll only get to about 9-10 pounds, so this should have been perfect.Here are the things that don't work: 1) when used as a backpack, the side closest to my back nearly crushes my puppy because it doesn't have enough support to maintain its shape.I'm hoping this will stretch out over time, but I'm not holding my breath (even though my puppy nearly has to hold hers).2) the padding on the bottom of the carrier is completely useless as it is not attached to the bottom (i.e. via Velcro); when the padding is not there, there is a strange plastic-y bottom with lots of nice little plastic treats for my puppy to eat.3) my puppy is 8 pounds right now; I seriously think it would be animal cruelty to put a 16 lb pet in such a cramped space, as the product description seems to allow.
We're going to try to reinforce the back of the carrier so that little Amelie can rest more comfortably.Unfortunately, I threw away the packing materials for this because I didn't want to carry the box home from work.I guess I'm going to have to be creative!
