Long days out are easier with room to stretch
Airport walks, city days and vet visits can mean a lot of time in a carrier. The Expandable Pet Carrier Backpack carries your cat or small dog on your back, then opens into a roomy rest space whenever you stop, so they can stretch out and relax during the breaks.
- Room to lie down during breaks
- Along for airport walks and city days
- Along for vet visits and errands
A backpack that opens into a rest space
On the move, it's a backpack with padded shoulder straps, so both your hands stay free. When you stop, the expandable section opens to create extra room to lie down. Breathable mesh panels keep air moving and let your pet see what's going on around them.
- Padded straps, hands-free carry
- Expandable section opens for breaks
- Mesh panels for airflow and a view
More than a hand-held carrier
A hand-held carrier keeps one hand busy and your pet in the same small space the whole trip. This backpack rides on your back, and the expandable section turns into a roomy space where your cat or small dog can stand, turn and lie down. Choose black or gray.
- Worn on your back, not carried by hand
- Expands when they need more room
- Black or gray
