FRIEQ Hard Cover Pet Carrier - Pet Travel Kennel for Cats, Small Dogs & Rabbits

We just adopted a cat and needed something for her first vet visit since the cardboard box we’d brought her home in was too flimsy for a second round. She (1 yo kitty) had ample room to move around. I was grateful for multiple points of entry since she wasn’t comfortable being confined and initially refused to get in. It was easy enough to put together - if you’ve ever zipped up a sleeping bag from flat, you’ll be ahead of the game. The carrier material was good too - a lightweight almost flocked 1 piece wall surround with a removable inner pad and sturdy oval top and bottom pieces. The carrier got lot plenty of compliments in the short time I had it - it was pretty stylish. As nice as the materials and the design were, they couldn’t make up for the fact that the zipper lead came unattached rendering it unusable. One use as a carrier, about 2 weeks (without fiddling with the zipper at all) just out in the room to get her used to the idea of being in the carrier (food and treats served inside), and then when unzipping it for storage the zipper lead slid off with very little effort on my part. Return was easy - finding a box big enough to put it in since the top and bottom don’t bend was the hardest part about it. Realized I hadn’t taken a photo before I broke it down for storage but the one I did finally take is the zipper lead in my hand.

We recently purchased two of these carriers for our 1600 mile trip by car. We have owned the typical hard plastic crates for the past several years. The cats have always hated them and constantly cried and never seemed to relax. After completing our trip, we couldn't be happier. The cats barely cried and even slept during the trip. Having the cats calmer during the drive was especially important to us as we have one cat who is 19 years old and did not want any undue stress for her. Yes, it does take a couple of minutes to figure out how to best manipulate the pieces to close the zippers but the results were well worth the effort. They were much easier to carry in and out of the car and hotels and we had no fear of the carriers coming apart. There was plenty of ventilation for them as well. With our old two piece plastic crates, we had continually struggled with the metal doors, getting them to fit properly and particularly getting the doors to close securely. Who wants to lose a valued pet because the door or crate clips that hold the two pieces together popped open. Thank you for offering an alternative, especially at an affordable price. I love the added bonus of its compact storage capabilities. FYI, our cats are fairly large with one being 12 pounds and the other 15 pounds. It makes you wonder why the big box stores haven't caught on to this product, though you would end up paying twice the price purchasing it from them. Thank you for a great product but don't raise the price for future owners!

This is just what I was looking for. I had no problems putting it together and it is sturdy and large enough to comfortably carry my 22 lb. cat. Handle makes it easy to lift. Only reason I didn't give it a fifth star--wish it had a shoulder strap. But, handle is comfortable, so I haven't really missed it.

My cat loves it! I love that it can be packed up and stored easily. My cat likes for me to leave it out so he can get in and take a nap whenever he wants. It is easy to carry. The only problem that I have had was the door is not as easy to zip up as the top and bottom. It takes a little jiggling to get the door to zip up. I found that using the top worked best for me and my 15 lbs, cat.

Really liked this, but was only able to use it 3-4 times or so. My cat baby scatched through the holes, which I worked hard to fix and prevent. My son and my cat baby had difficulties preparing for a trip and broken the zipper. I am still trying to find a way to reconnect the zipper. I ended up purchasing a different style carrier, but still would love to have the zipper fixed for this one.On the very first day of use, my cat baby stuck his paw out and clawed my car door while clawing the carrier.He's never liked being in carriers. Seem to be trauma from the past. He's my rescue baby.

This pet carrier is one of the future! Lots of room, cool design, super light weight! I was a little hesitant reading reviews of others saying it was difficult to put together but i had my mine out of the box and assembed in 45 seconds. Not sure what is challenging about 2 zippers..

My cats are very pleased with this carrier. I use it 3-5 days per week to take my two cats to work with me. I have a munchkin and her standard size littermate. They weigh a total of about 18lbs and the bag works well for them. It also fits in my compact car easily. They frequently lounge in and on top of the bag. I haven’t folded the bag since I assembled it, so I can’t speak to how well that works, but the bag works well in general use.

So I assembled this kitty carrier left the room and immediately my cat was inside it when I got back which made transporting her relatively easy. I took her on a long road trip, and whenever I stopped to give her a break she barely needed any urging to hop back in the carrier when it was time to move on.However towards the end of the trip when I was staying overnight, I took the top off to clean the insides. That was a big mistake because at some point during disassembly the zipper broke, and I was unable to put it back together again.I would recommend this product with the caveat that you cannot take it apart for easier storage as dissembly will likely lead to an inoperable pet carrier
