First, let’s tackle the obvious: $185 is a lot of money for a pet carrier. But prior to trying this one out, I schlepped my cheap, flimsy little Petco one around for roughly ten-plus years. It’s not something you regularly buy, but is something you use frequently. If this one lasts you for the next ten years or more, that’s roughly $20 per year, which I think is totally worth the cost.
That said, I do wish the limited one-year warranty period, which applies to customers who buy directly from Diggs, was a little longer, showing the company stood by its products.
Apart from that, the side pockets, which have the potential to be extremely useful, are a little too narrow and shallow. I would love these to be a little deeper to carry medications from the vet, small toys for short trips and the like.
Last but not least, while the 20 inch by 10.8 inch by 11.5 inch carrier was suitable for my 8- and 17-pound cats (the latter was actually a rather tight fit), I’d love to see a broader size range available. The company does offer an inflatable Enventer travel carrier for larger breeds, but there’s not a whole lot for in-between: It would be great to see the passenger option in a slightly bigger size.
