I already owned one pet backpack, but needed to buy another because we bought another dog. The place where I previously bought a backpack stopped selling them, so I had to find a new one. I ordered several cheaper ones on the internet and sent them back before I broke down and spent more money on this one. I should have just bought this one in the first place. This bag is very large, I put my 13 lb. Shih Tzu in it and he had room to move around. We like to take our dogs bike riding with us and leave the top unzipped so the safety latch is very useful (make sure you connect to harness and not collar). Our dog had room to move around even when zipped up completely. Our other backpack has sides that are more rigid to maintain their shape and these are softer, which I don

Received this a few days ago - I have a 23 lb dog who I enjoy taking everywhere with me but he is 11 1/2 yrs old and cannot walk a long distance - needs to rest every now and then - so this is perfectMy only complaint is I wish it was somewhat longer and deeper - having a hard time putting him in it without a second person - not quite as larger as I was let to believe it would hold a dog up to 30 lbs.I noticed today you now have a new cart that extends - if needed - I only wish that had been available when I was ordering! Had looked at this cart on your site for months before ordering and now you added one with an extender - if I had known you were adding a larger one - I would have waited for it.Thank you...

I love this bag because it's not too heavy and I've tried several backpack/rolling convertible travelers, and this one actually fits my larger 24 lb mini-schnauzer comfortably. It's great for taking him for short rides on the subway, and then I wear it as a backpack outside when getting to/from the train, and can have my hands free to walk himPros: large opening, lighter than similar bags, saves $$ with public transport. The side pockets can act as additional vents as they open up to mesh, and the front pocket (which works well for doggie supplies) is attached such that you can open the bottom section of the bag behind the pocket and reach in to pet dog's tummy while he's still in the bag.Cons: Not as attractive as some bags, wheels not that sturdy and they don't have covering in case you roll it in rain but then want to wear as a backpack (which I've seen on the "PetGear" bags). I don't know how the mesh will hold up.The only real complaint that I have is there is a bar in the back connecting the wheels which makes the backpack less comfortable. This is not cheap but reasonable as all of these bags are in this price range.I didn't expect to like this bag so much because it doesn't look as sleek or high tech as others, but I returned all those heavier, less ventilated bags and this one I've kept!

This carrier will probably work for the trip planned on the airline, but I wish it would have come with some information as to what all the features are. It's somewhat confusing as to what some of the straps are for, inside and out. Also, it seems less roomy inside than the picture shows, especially at the top end. It's much narrower there. Be sure to measure dog first, as there is no return on these.

I purchased this carrier after having 4 others. So far, this one seems by far better than the rest. All were around the same price but I found that the quality of this JTL carrier is better. The retractable handle is more sturdy and the seams were sewn well. The wheels roll smoothly and the bag does not tip when my dog is inside. I should note that the bag is reasonably light as I am neither big nor strong. When the bag is fully loaded with my 18lb Lhasa and a few travel supplies, the bag is easy to maneuver in "wheeled-carrier mode" or carry in" backpack mode". It would have been better if the padding on the bottom of the bag was thicker and had something to secure it so the pad does not slide around ( easily fixed with Velcro). Also if it had been designed to use as a car seat as well, that would have been nice too. Overall, I like the JTL carrier a lot. More importantly, my dog LIKES to be in it. He jumps right in when I tell him we're going on a trip! I am considering buying another as a back-up when this one goes.

My little french bulldog comes to work with me everyday and we take the subway. I have gone through 4 flimsy other carriers that were cheap and I got what I paid for. I finally decided to invest in something durable and bought the deluxe rolling carrier. It's changed my life. It's so easy to roll everywhere the handle locks in place and it's easy just to throw it over one shoulder when I walk my dog once we get out of the subway. No more sore backs. It's roomy, spacious and my little guy crawls in it at the office to nap. He can finally see through the mesh sides and tops. Looks like a fancy carrier I picked up in Japan. Everything I could possibly need and want in a pet carrier. I and my Frenchie highly recommend the JLT Rolling Deluxe Pet Carrier.
