Based on my experience with this carrier I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a quality small animal carrier. While the fact that it is breathable is a plus, the overall design is poor, making it difficult to carry and causing my small animal to feel unstable. Additionally, it is clear that this product was made with cheap materials, and it did not hold up well over time .As a loyal customer of Pet Supplies, I would suggest looking elsewhere for a better small animal carrier..See full review
