Why it matters
The Pet Porter measures 26 x 18.6 x 16.5 in outside and 23.8 x 17 x 15.5 in inside, for pets of 20–25 lb. It has an easy-open latch, wire door, fold-down handle and ventilation on four sides. Petmate says it meets most airline cargo specifications, and a stay-dry moat pulls liquid away from the pet.
