My little fat maltese didn't fit into his old carrier anymore, and we went to PETCO to shop around and being the dramatic dog he has always been, he went ballistic and hopped into this one at the store and wouldn't get out and he is very obedient to me. So since he was whining I as his loving pack leader ordered it for him for half the price from here, thank you so much. I love this bag, I can choose to keep him covered or if it's cold I can block out the elements with ease and no one has a clue I'm carrying a dog, perfect!
