Brown Bear Pet Carrier Backpack for Cats & Small Dogs

Some cats want to see where you are going, and some small dogs need a lift before the walk is over. This brown-and-cream pet carrier backpack keeps them upright against your chest or back, with their head, four legs and tail outside the carrier. The cream front panel has a small bear-face flap pocket; mesh side panels, a padded rear panel and adjustable shoulder straps make up the rest of the design.

The fit comes from the body shape and openings, rather than a roomy compartment. Side zippers and white buckles open the carrier for fitting, while an elastic neck rim with a drawcord toggle lets you adjust the top opening.

What's included

• One brown-and-cream bear-face carrier in your selected size, with attached shoulder straps and front pocket.
• Treats and other items shown inside the pocket are not included.

Two ways to carry, with the details close at hand

Wear the carrier at the front when you want your pet in view, or at the back for the other carrying position. The open mesh at each side allows air to move around your pet, and the padded rear panel sits between the carrier and your body. A separate tail opening keeps the tail outside the bag. The bear-face pocket has a hook-and-loop flap for small treats or similarly compact items, so they have a place of their own instead of sitting loose alongside your pet.

Materials and build

• Body: nylon fabric with brown woven straps and a cream front panel.
• Sides: pale mesh panels with zippers and white plastic buckles.
• Adjustments: shoulder-strap adjusters and an elastic neck rim with a drawcord toggle.
• Openings: four bound leg openings and a separate tail opening.

Sizing — measure first

Measure your pet's back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Match back length first, then check the suggested weight range.

• S: 0.5–2 kg / 1.1–4.4 lb; back under 26 cm / 10.2 in.
• M: 2–3 kg / 4.4–6.6 lb; back 26–28 cm / 10.2–11.0 in.
• L: 3–4 kg / 6.6–8.8 lb; back 28–31 cm / 11.0–12.2 in.
• XL: 4–5 kg / 8.8–11.0 lb; back 31–35 cm / 12.2–13.8 in.
• XXL: 5–7 kg / 11.0–15.4 lb; back 35–40 cm / 13.8–15.7 in.
• XXXL: 7–10 kg / 15.4–22.0 lb; back 40–50 cm / 15.7–19.7 in.

Weight alone does not determine fit: check room around the neck and each leg opening before a walk.

When this isn't the right carrier

This upright, legs-out style suits pets that accept that carrying position. If your pet prefers to rest their paws on a base, consider the Breathable Mesh Pet Tote Carrier for Cats & Small Dogs instead. For walks where your pet stays on the ground, browse Harnesses.

Care

For everyday marks, gently wipe the fabric and mesh with a damp cloth and let them dry fully before storing. Check the zippers, buckles, drawcord and stitching before the next outing.
