No backpack changes that, and any shop telling you this is an “airline carrier” for your holiday is not being straight with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere it does work: the car, the train, the bus, walks, and the trip to the vet. Check your train or coach operator’s pet policy, and check the government’s pet travel rules before any journey abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnd one more honest note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe expandable section is for when the carrier is set down and stationary. A pet should not be carried on your back in the extended position. Build up the time your animal spends in any new carrier gradually, and if your pet is anxious, distressed or close to the 8 kg limit, a carrier they can lie flat in is the kinder choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWe sell two versions of this carrier — which to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell, the steel frame, the 8 kg limit and the expanding panel are the same on both.

If you will carry a heavier animal any real distance, that is what you are paying the extra for. If not, the standard version is the same bag for less.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe measurements and materials above are the manufacturer’s, not our own.
