Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a veterinary technician and have seen and worked with many types of carriers. The top closures and front door closures of this one are NOT easy to work with. Usually there is a spring loaded assembly for the front door and sometimes the top in other carriers . This has neither and is difficult to open and shut securely with the TABS that are used. If hadn’t waited so long to put this together (and discarded the shipping material), I would have returned it without hesitation. I won’t use it and would not even donate it because I am concerned that someone not familiar with it may end up with a loose cat when trying to secure it. The rest of the carrier seems well made and size/structure is fine. If the closures were improved upon, this would be a good product. But if you can’t feel secure that your pet won’t get loose or that anyone else trying to close it won’t do it correctly, it’s not worth the chance. The owner is not always present to instruct the vet staff how to close this carrier and they should not have to guess. This was not a inexpensive carrier but I guess I have to take a loss on it.
