Review on Airline Approved Cat Carrier Bag - Soft Sided Collapsible Pet Travel Bag for Small Medium Large Cats by Denise Francis

The frame of this stretcher is made of very thin plastic. Mine didn't survive the delivery, although the packaging is quite nice. It's also smaller on the inside, and I suspect the advertised 17-inch length is listed on the outside. I really think this would be a BIG carrier for a small animal. opens quite wide. They include two plastic bars that can be inserted along the left and right sides at the top for added strength, but plastic doesn't fit. I would pay extra for metal, refund due to size (too small) and broken plastic.
