DETAILS:
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION: Made with a very sturdy wire frame structure to eliminate that sinking fabric look found on other carriers with a less structured frame. This wire frame ensures this carrier is fully expanded with plenty of space.
The fabric is Nylon. This type of fabric is good combination of stiffness and flexibility. Probably, the only better is fabric that includes Spandex. But, if hard-wearing is key, this works well. It withstands scuffs and tears. The 1/4″ Plywood Base Insert is a sustainable upgrade from the standard cardboard.
The Safety Seat Belt Attachment is another upgrade.
WEARABILITY: The Premium Brand Zippers eliminates those fragile clasps of poorer quality fasteners that separate from the fabric and are reduce the life-span of the carrier. And, of course, they are Auto Self Locking Zippers for safety. The carrier will not be pushed open by your Pet.
MANY FEATURES: Open Air Large Mesh Windows on 3 Sides,
I really appreciate the Privacy Cover. My Cats do not like the feeling of being surrounded. I think they appreciate the carrier as a sanctuary. The privacy cover help keeps them calm. Once acclimated to this carrier, they have privacy and ventilation.
- 1 ample Zippered Pocket
- Padded Heavy Duty Shoulder Strap and Hand Carry Handle
- Faux Fleece Pet Bed.
- Name Tag Holder
- Luggage Strap
- Leash Tether
Dimensions: Fits More Airlines than many others (use chart link). BONUS: Since it weighs only 2.7lbs, it provides more allowance for airline weight requirements. The manufacturer recommends this carrier for Pets Up to 18lbs

I love that this carrier is extendable. I use it even when I am not flying– at the hotel and at friend’s home.
DETAILS: 18″ L x 11″ W x 11″ H
PLENTY OF VENTILATION The 360 degree Ventilation on all 4 Sides ensures a cool and breathable space. No matter what is pressed against a side there are more to ensure your furry friend can see and has plenty of ventilation. With the Two Exit Doors you aren’t moving the carrier around to get access. The Doors are full-frame allowing for full a height opening.
WEIGHING IN at only 3.36 lbs this carrier allows more airline weight allowance for your Pet.
AIRPLANE FRIENDLY: Petmate See&Extend meets TSA and most airlines standards. I like the extra room with the extenstion that other carriers lack. The material is so sturdy that it may not compress as much as less-expensive models but if you need an inch or two, it will compress enough to fit it under the seat in front.
FIRST CLASS COMFORT: The Fleece pad conforms to your Pet’s body. It is Removable and Washable. The great quality lets you wash and use for many trips to come. There is a removable board that adds sturdiness, and the carrier is leak-proof.
