Petsfit Expandable Rabbit Carrier Small Cat Carrier Airline Approved, 16X10X9 Inches Soft-Sided Portable Small Animal Travel Bag for Kitten/Puppy/Bunny/Guinea Pig

Update: just flew again (1/5/2026). With this carrier. The delta plane we were on definitely had smaller under seats. So it was a little harder to get it under the seats. The height under was fine but it was thinner from left to right so we had to put the carrier in long ways where the expansion side could not be opened basically. Carrier is still very nice! Original review: Really like this carrier! We used this to travel with our dog on Delta. Our mini golden doodle got a little bigger than we anticipated right at 25 lbs, but he fits in this a lot better than the last carrier we had. In fact, I would say our pup is quite comfortable in here! He tends to take naps in it on his own at home. He likes to be curled up and snuggled so I think he feels quite safe in these types of spaces. He can’t stand in this but he can turn around just fine. And when the expansion is opened up there’s a bunch of extra room! Quality of the carrier is nice and sturdy with a not cheap feeling zipper. Note that in the pictures we added wheels from another carrier. This one DOES NOT come with wheels and a handle, we just used the one from our old carrier. I’ve only flown with Delta and have not had a problem with his size. We’ve flown 6 times with him, but this is the first time with this carrier and it went over smoothly! Check-in agent didn’t ask us to take him out or weigh him or anything else. If you’re worried about your pups size being denied at check-in this is a pretty nice option for these 2 reasons: 1) The mesh windows are not super see through which means the agent may not notice the size of the pet inside as much. 2) this carrier (the larger size) is definitely a tad bigger than most recommended sizes for planes, but because it’s bigger your pet looks smaller in it so that helps… also it’s a soft sided carrier so it should still be able to fit under most seats in most planes. Again, I’ve only flown Delta with him. And one final point… the carrier entrance is sturdier and more open than others I’ve used. So because of that there is more room in there for your pet. It’s good to note each airline is different and most importantly each gate agent is different. So it really is up to them if they want to give you a hard time or not. I would say that 90 percent of the time the agent doesn’t care as long as the pet is in the carrier and being behaved. YOU know your pet more than ANYONE else. So if you think your pet is comfortable and safe in there I say give it a shot! It also wouldn’t hurt to butter up your check in agent! Ask them how their day is and be genuinely nice. They put up with a lot of unpleasant flyers, so I’m sure they will be more inclined to let your “larger” pet pass through if you are courteous and friendly. Anywho, that’s my 2 cents of advice! And yea the carrier is great! A+++

This carrier was great for my first airline traveling adventure (ha!) with my kitty, Finn. It fit perfectly under the seat of an American Airlines plane and on the way back it fit perfectly under the seat on a Frontier Airlines plane. I feel it’s a very well made product, with a lot of attention/consideration to details. The only suggestion I might make for the manufacturer would be to 1) make one additional pocket (maybe behind the piece of material that I presume is for use with a seatbelt). Having one extra pocket would have been handy, but not necessary, and certainly not a reason to give this product fewer stars. As a heads up for future customers, be aware that one side of the small ends of the carrier has a double zipper, which is a nice feature. However, I’d advise you to MAKE SURE the two zippers are touching one another anytime you go to pick the bag up. In fact, in the future I may find a way to secure them together- small padlock, zip tie, etc, while in transit. I realized that if the two zips weren’t touching, it was just enough space for my girl to start to weasel her paw in the space and begin to work the zipper open. I caught her early in the act so she didn’t get out, but after that I had to make sure they were really snug. •Handles/straps are comfortable, and adjustable, and the long strap is removable. •floor of carrier is thoughtfully padded. It’s a solid piece of plastic, covered with a faux sheepskin case that is removable for laundering. •the breathable mesh parts were strong, and can withstand being picked at by claws. I had been worried about that but it really held up, no problem. •there is a collapsible false wall between the extending side, and the interior of the carrier. This is convenient so you can choose when your animal has access to the extension “deck” or “patio” (my words, not theirs, haha) •the extension side is A LIFESAVER!!! Holy moly I can’t tell you how glad I am that I got a carrier with the ability to provide her a little extra space. It really helps make her feel a lot less frantic, and like she has choices (cats like choices) about where to be. Very helpful, very well designed, and has a zipper in the middle of it so it can also be used as an entry/exit or for access of any kind. •I did have to throw it in the washer after a trip to the vet (stress pee happened), and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the fact that the structural bars that help give the carrier its shape come out so you can throw the whole carrier in the wash if needed. In fact they don’t just “come out”, they have little dedicated sleeves made for them with Velcro at the ends so you can be assured it wasn’t an accident that the beams come out.. they designed it that way on purpose. I’d definitely recommend this carrier for anyone with a cat or small dog. Finn absolutely hates her hard plastic carrier, but will literally walk into this one on her own accord, if it’s out and sitting on the floor. Incredible. Now, it may have something to do with the gabapentin the vet prescribed her or the way I got her used to it by making a treat trail leading into the carrier to get her used to it... but at this point even without the meds, she’s MUCH happier in this carrier than in the other one. Great product. Thank you!

Great carrier IF you dog fits it. We've taken our 16 pound chi-mix dog on about 12 flights with this, each flight was 5 to 6 hours. We have to take the plastic rods out to make it squish down a bit, but the great thing is the zip-out foyer as with that unzipped, even if it's not fully open and flat under the seat, gives her enough space to comfortably lie down. It has been allowed and has fit (with rods removed) under every plane we've taken (Air Canada and United planes). Now, when she stands up, the carrier actually only comes up to her chest, because she has ridiculously long legs, but in the carrier, she's always laying down. When in the airport we .... uh ... let her walk around. So she's only in the carrier on the plane. Just be discrete about it and nobody will hassle you. The screened top lets her see you. I highly recommend getting one of those water bottles with the integrated bowl/lid for the flight. That way you have your own water and can put your arm down into the carrier so doggy can get a drink and then have the water go back into the bottle. We have some pee-pads that we put down on the bottom to both cushion and insulate the bottom of the bag and to absorb any accidents during the plane, which has yet to happen. Make sure your dog has a familiar small blanket in there (or you use of your UNWASHED T-shirts as a blanket, so they can smell you on them) because planes can get cold. Great bag, I'll let other extoll it's features, I'll just share my personal experience. Weight of the bag is irrelevant as it's the weight of your dog that counts. Size is good for under seat WITH RODS REMOVED. The rods stiffen the upper part of the bag to make it rectangular. They are easy to remove and are made to be removed. The foyer is great.

I have two small cats (under 10lb) and thought this would be a comfortable and easy to carry option for them to fly in especially with the extension. Upon getting the bags, something is just too small and does not appeal to them. The extension is kind of low. I ordered size small. I am returning them. I then ordered the other petsfit carrier with two square expandable sides (it is currently one size only) which is an inch or so longer and higher and it is exactly what I was looking for. The cats would not get into the bag I am reviewing, but are climbing into and hanging out inside the other one. Definitely try the slightly larger model with square extensions for adult cats.

I bought this bag a couple of years ago after having bought and returned so many other bags. This bag however we loved it immediately. It looks nice, light, very sturdy, easy to put up or flatten, nice quality material, 2 openings....and my dog just loves sitting inside. We used it several times for overseas long haul flights and my dog is very comfortable in it. I especially like the opening at the top (and front) so that I can easily pet her thru the opening. We were in business class on both trips so the bag didn’t need to be squeezed under the seat so cannot comment on economy seats. When we don’t travel, I leave it in the living room where she uses it as a den. She loves it! I thought I should write a review to help others looking for a travel bag.

Superbe sac, plus spacieux que les cages habituelles pour chat! De plus, ne prend aucune place replié. Je recommande vivement

It was good, very cute, cat likes it, I’m vibing

Perfecto. Muy adecuado de medidas y muy cómodo para llevar colgado al hombro sobretodo si la mascota pesa como es el caso de mi gato de casi 7 kg. La única pega que le pondría es que tiene las cremalleras sin cierre de seguridad y una de ellas no es doble.
