{"product_id":"expandable-soft-sided-pet-carrier-mesh-windows","title":"Expandable Soft-Sided Pet Carrier with Mesh Windows","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost foldable pet carriers solve one problem and create another. The cheap ones expand for a few weeks, then the side panels start sagging into the dog. The pricier \"designer\" ones look fine but use thin mesh that a bored kitten claws through on day three. This carrier gets the basics right — the two expansion panels hold their shape under a 7.5 kg cat, and the reinforced mesh resists scratch and chew well enough that the corners don't unravel during the first week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe body sits closed for travel and unzips into a roomy lounge for hotel rooms, vet waiting areas, or a long picnic.
