Review on PetsHome Dog Carrier: Stylish, Foldable PU Leather Pet Purse for Safe and Comfortable Travel with Your Furry Friend by Sharon Prasad

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Too big for everyday use!

I bought this bag without checking the dimensions. The picture can be a little misleading. First I bought the model A-Beige. It's a creamy shade of beige with golden accents and a rounded overall look. The dog in the picture is either a large small dog (6-7 pounds) or has plenty of room in his purse. I have a 10 week old Pomeranian and she only weighs 2.4 pounds. I can easily fit three of these in this bag or walk around with two of these very comfortably other than the fact that it's too big and bulky to use as a wallet. I like LOTS of features in this bag. and some, of course, don't like it at all. First, it is very stylish and elegant. Not only does it look beautiful, it also feels comfortable and the quality is pretty decent. Second, it has windows! Two on the side that are always open and one on the front that has an extra closing flap that rolls up. I love how my pup can stick his head out and I love being able to close it when he gets tired, gets too loud or it starts raining etc. Love the safety feature of the strap in the pouch. It has a strong strap that can be attached to your pup's harness to keep him or her from jumping out, which is very helpful! I also like that there is a zipper in the back that I can hold things in, although it's wide but not very roomy. I'm not sure if her puppy tissue bag or her water bottle will fit, but a zippered treat, a flimsy toy, and maybe a chew stick will definitely fit. What I don't like about this handbag is how big it is. is. When I wear it on my arm, it sits on my hip and leans forward. It is very wide and eye-catching compared to a normal bag, people may not even know there is a dog inside. This makes it less ideal for errands, although it's still very handy as a true travel bag. I personally would use it. Not sure if it's "TSA approved" or not, but if it is, that's a huge plus. Another thing I don't like is that it doesn't have much space specifically designed to carry essential items like puppy wipes etc other than a small zipper. Obviously the zippers and accents are gold, which I don't really like, but ignore that. Pros and cons summary Pros: - Smart, sleek looks - Decent quality - Side windows and an additional front window with flap. - Seat belt - Top flap so pup can stick their head out - Side zip - Comes with pillow Cons: - Huge and bulky - Very small side zip - More like a carrier and looks than a handbag. - Carrying it on your arm will tilt it because you're resting on your hip, most likely causing it to be crooked inside for your pup. Overall I'm not thrilled with this carrier but it's nice to have one at home. I will still be looking for something more casual to carry around, but if you don't take your dog out often or your small dog is 5-7 pounds and you want to carry him around, I recommend this carrier. UPDATE: I've been using this for a while now and while it's big, it was pretty easy to carry my pup around and she seems to love it. She's 7 pounds and gets a little heavy after a while especially when she's standing, but I think I really like her harness clip so she doesn't fall over and try to jump out. I mostly leave it open at the top and she's really used to it, but I wish there were more or at least wider pockets so I can carry the regular stuff I carry for her. I usually carry a dog water bottle, puppy wipes, hand sanitizer, food bags and training treats. I have found that hanging the bottle and dog bags on the side works and the wipes fit under one of the spacers at the bottom of the bag. (There are two bottom pads in the bag, so I just put tissues between them.)

Pros
  • Detachable, foldable design saves space and easy to carry. This bag comes in 3 parts + 2 mats, you can easily assemble it within a minute by following the assembly instructions on the detail page below.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
