Some pets want to see everything
Some cats and small dogs want to see the whole world, just not walk through all of it. The Front-Facing Pet Carrier Backpack keeps your pet supported against your chest with their head out, so they can look around, sniff the breeze and stay close on neighborhood walks, park days and farmers markets.
- A head-out view on neighborhood walks
- Sniffing the breeze at the market
- Close to you on park days
Head out, hands free
Your pet rides facing forward against your chest, and the adjustable neck opening lets their head poke out comfortably while staying snug. Breathable mesh keeps air moving around their body, and a front pocket holds keys, treats and waste bags.
- Neck opening adjusts to fit
- Mesh keeps air moving
- Front pocket for keys and treats
Sized by your pet, not just the bag
Many carriers come in a single size. This one comes in three, matched to your pet's weight and back length: M for about 4.5 to 6.5 pounds, L for 6.5 to 8.5 pounds and XL for 8.5 to 11 pounds, so your cat or small dog sits supported against your chest.
- Three sizes, M to XL
- Sized by weight and back length
