Review on IRIS Extra Deluxe Travel Carrier by Alina Manley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Longtime Breeder and Shipper - Much better product than expected!

We have been supplying for many years and almost always use another popular brand. Decided to try a mid-range IRIS pet bag. and glad we did! Very beautiful, durable and easy to assemble. It even came with the tool needed to tighten the screws and has a small slot in the side of the drawer to attach a tool for later use. Love the door latches as the door can be opened right or left and can only be opened with one hand - it's nice to wrestle a wavy pup! The door is stronger than other drawer doors. Over the years we've had dogs playing with the latches (and therefore the doors) on many, many drawers. In this case it would be less likely. The grip also feels more solid than what we're used to. While other drawers have a weight limit, we often see handles failing at much less weight than advertised - not cool! This was our first box and it wasn't close to the advertised weight limit. but i'm pretty sure this handle will hold the advertised weight without issue. The only issue I have with the crate is that it's a blessing for dogs too. An extra opening at the bottom (which is actually a good thing) allows some loose bedding (e.g. shredded shipping paper) to fall through. Not all, mind you, but enough to get you a little excited. Again, that extra airflow keeps the box cooler in warm weather.

Pros
  • One hand lock
Cons
  • Useless features
