Pet Smart Carrier? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mapetty · 03-20-2007, 04:54 AM

I posted this in the products forum, but I haven't gotten any responses, so I thought I would try here

I would like to know if anyone has this carrier from Pet Smart? I am interested in getting it, since they have it on sale in the store for $19.99. However, I would like to know how well it stands up to actual use, and also there is no size recommendation on the tag or website - how many pounds it will hold, etc. Can anyone help? Thanks!

This is the link for the bag...

This is a nice carrier. However, if you put a dog in it that is over 5 or 6 pounds, the side seem to fold in on the dog. It's not very roomy either. But it is really cute though.

That's a NICE carrier but it looks narrow. I wouldn't put a dog over 4 lbs in there.

Here are the Dimensions: 16" long, 9" deep, 5 1/2 wide. I would say it is plenty big enough but a little on the narrow side. My Petflys carrier is 8 inches wide with the other two dimensions the same. My Ben (just a tad shy of 3 lbs) has scads of room in it, but Sadie my tall girl (5 lbs) seems to have to sit or lie down to be comfortable in it. My concern would be the sturdiness of the sides. Do you have a Petsmart close enough that you could try to see it in person?

It is cute -- very spring-like.
