Why it matters

Closed, the carrier is 18 x 11 x 11 in for under-seat use; it expands 3.5 in on top and 6.5 in at the side for extra room during waits. Petskd recommends pets within about 15 x 8 x 11 in and up to 10 lb. A stainless steel and fiber-rod frame stops sagging, and mesh covers five sides. Two-year warranty.
