User Reviews about Bergan Comfort Carrier Soft-Sided Pet Carrier - Small - Black
I did lots of research online and in person before buying this carrier for my 8-lb. cat. I'd purchased another one because it was cheap ($15 or so), and learned the hard way that a flimsy, too-big carrier is actually worse than none at all. Advantages of this product: you can soothe the animal with a gentle hand via a zip-open access, the carrier has a soft, relatively stiff base that keeps your pet stable when carried, there's lots of ventilation, the carrier opens at both ends, and the product is well-constructed and sturdy. Small size is perfect for airline carry-on. (Don't know about the other sizes.) I'd read in another review that cats are more comfortable in a carrier on the small size rather than too roomy; now that I've gone both ways, I know that's true. Tip: two weeks prior to the trip I unzipped the carrier and placed it near her food dish so she'd become accustomed to it. I put a few kibbles inside, which she approached warily and finally ate. Getting her into the carrier on travel day was MUCH less traumatic than any previous trip, and being able to pet her reassuringly en route made a big difference. (BTW, I also purchased the "Come with me kitty" harness and leash for extra control in case she struggled while being removed and replaced for the airport security check. It worked well as a precautionary measure, but I sure can't imagine walking a cat with it.) -- Well designed; excellent value
My cat traveled across the Pacific ocean in this carrier.
He (10 lbs male cat) seemed pretty comfortable in it.
It's not a very fashionable item to carry around,
but I'm satisfied with the quality, the simple
design and the functionality. -- Simple and Functional
very quick shipping, but there was a hole that I had to sew along the seam of the mesh. -- Feedback
I was looking for a pet carrier to take on an airplane. Although the dimensions of this were slightly bigger than allowed, it was great to have a flexible structure so it worked well. It's a soft and comfortable carrier. My kitten loved it. She had plenty of places to look out and there were lots of holes to open and close so I could pet her without taking her out. It takes a little while to bend the frame into it's upright position. It comes mushed in the box so you have to mold it. Overall, I am very satisfied. -- Just as advertised. Happy with the purchase
I bought this for an airline trip with our 6 pound Chihuahua, Rudi. He fit the carrier pretty well, somewhat cramped though, but it does offer plenty of ventilation, and fairly easy access for getting the reluctant pooch in and out of the unit, and has a nicely padded faux sheepskin floor that's removable and washable. The carrier has the right dimensions for under-seat stowage according to most airlines, and it did fit easily under the seat in front of me, even in coach class. However, being a 'soft-sided' design, the 'frame' seems a bit flimsy and doesn't hold its shape but tends to collapse around the occupant, especially when it's carried over the shoulder with the strap. The carrier has mesh expandable pockets and zippers that are useful for bringing a leash, food, water, etc. One of the mesh pockets on my unit popped a seam the first time out--a defective stitch. Overall, for the fair price and passable quality and quick shipping, I think it is a good buy, and will do the job for a few more trips. -- Not Top Quality
