User Reviews about Deluxe Backpack Pet Carrier on Wheels

My Cat's name is Teddy Bear and he loves to be going on trips to the store while I either roll or carry the Deluxe Backpack. While I have the closet open he tends to think we are going out and tries to get into the bag. I love the size and it's functionalty of the wheels to roll him around. -- Pet JCarrier on Wheels

I got this carrier to cart my cats to and from the vet's office on my bike or by walking. Of course they flip the heck out while in it, but they're cats and that's what they do. Here are my major issues with the backpack:

1) The metal lining on the inside that gives the front structure and keeps the canvas off the animal constantly slips out of its "holsters". Basically, you have a bunch of metal wires in the bag that may or may not hit your animal. I wouldn't say it's terribly dangerous, but it would definitely be uncomfortable.

2) This bag is NOT for large cats. I would say it can reasonably accommodate an animal up to 10lbs, and definitely not for long stretches of time. My 12lb cat has to sit upright in it, whereas my smaller 7lb cat can lie down. I do not have a small dog so I can't comment on how it is for dogs (I am reasonably sure my 50lb dog would not fit!).

3) If you wear this as a backpack (and it has straps to do so, so I imagine it isn't out of the ordinary), be aware that the animal will basically be slammed around inside the backpack when you put it on or take it off. This may be especially pertinent to owners of delicate dogs or cowardly cats.

I never use the wheels on this backpack so I can't comment where that is concerned, but as far as the quality of the bag, it seems pretty average. I have owned and used this bag lightly for five months, I do not fear that the straps will tear off due to weight, or that the bag will fall apart anytime soon. At the same time, I would never try to stress the bag to test its limits. It is well-ventilated and not terribly awkward to carry as a backpack.

Overall, the carrier is useful if you just need to take your pooch or feline from point A to point B. Beyond that, I would definitely advise against keeping an animal in it for longer than what is absolutely necessary. -- Does its job, not spectacular.

This is a great carrier for a very small animal; especially because it has wheels. My 6 month old cat is about 5 lbs. and she fits fine, however I know that if she grows into a large cat, she won't fit well. -- Great but very small
