This carrier is not as wide as described! The floor width is only 9" across. It might be 15.2 at the widest area but that is in the middle of the wall, not where the animal lays. I saw in the picture that the walls slant inward, but I thought the floor was where the measurement was being taken from. I have a 5LB cat who when I put her in the carrier was not able to turn around or lay down on her side. She had to lay upright on all fours. When I called the company they were helpful as in talking me into keeping it or send it back for a bigger one at my own shipping expense. I pointed out the carried was not the dimensions they claimed... well, that's nice, pay shipping and we will sent a bigger one. Since I already paid almost half the cost in shipping, I decided to keep it for kittens, which is all it has room for.

I recently purchased this for my daughter. She is adopting a puppymill rescue 5 month old Chion (Pappillion chihuahua mix). The pup has not used it now, she is in route to pick her up 2 states away.

What I've noticed with this type of cage are the following:
1. I would not suggest this type for flight or airlines. I do not trust those clips on the side. Do you see the gray clips on the side? You lay the unit together, placing the door in the holes and once that is together, you slide those clips into place. I have this same in a gray for my dog here at home, when he is sick I have to kennel him.

As you slide those in they do lock, however I do not trust plastic clips to hold a cage to keep my animal safe from either 1. being dropped out if they fail or 2. a bird in case it opens and the bird can fly away. I also have a small blue unit made by another company.

If and when I carry an animal in this, I would support the bottom. I have seen people come into the vets office with these holding their cats, kittens or puppies and I cringe thinking that it might pop open. I am not saying that they have or that I have knowledge either way, but to me, it's not made strong enough to do that.

I also have the more expensive kennels which are fastened with screws and nuts. That is the type that I have flown my Toy Manchester Terrier mix from El Paso to South Korea in 1986. The plastic is a thicker gage and it contains metal to hold it together. I had faith in those and will carry those by the handles, but always with care.

If you are after color and a carrier that you can use to house your animal when you are away, I highly suggest this one because it will serve your purpose.

I hope that has be clear enough and helpful to you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I don't know why people have said the Medium Pink PET Carrier is hard to assemble. I put it together on less than (5) minutes. MY 20 pound cat had plenty of space to move around. It was big enough for her, and small enough for me to carry it easily.I highly recommend the item to anyone. It's adorable and functional too!.[[ASIN:B000HHQ5KU Medium Pink Kennel Cab Pet Carrier - 23 x 15.2 x 11.84 inches].

Good price and good value. Carrier is approved for airlines and is large enough for a medium sized cat or small dog.

I needed a carrier that would fit both of my cats if needed. One is huge and the other pretty small and this is a perfect fit.

The clamps on the side aren't as secure as I would like. I wouldn't take them on a flight in it the way it is now. Going to steal an idea I saw in another review and get something to tie around the outside to keep them from shifting out of place.

The assembly wasn't difficult but I wouldn't want to break it down to store it somewhere. Don't really need to as it is pretty compact and easy to store. It fits in the car much more securely than a bulkier carrier that I had. One of the cats hates car rides and being able to keep this carrier in the front seat facing me makes it easy to keep him calm.

The storage space at the top is nice but the food/water dish inside it is pretty crappy. I tossed it and bought some of those collapsible travel pet dishes to put in there instead.

Kind of like this one.[...]

It's stylish and can take a beating and I'll probably stick with this brand of carriers.

This carrier is a great carrier for the price! We have two of these, one for each of our 5lb+ Yorkies!
It's easy to put together, sturdy and not too heavy.
It has a handle that makes it easy for transporting and for securing the carrier in the car. I like the compartment at the top where I can put a few treats and it's a nice size!
This is where our two dogs sleep and they both love this carrier!

I purchased this "medium" sized kennel because I recently adopted a 4 year old Cairn Terrier and was borrowing a friend's pet porter (which was a "small" kennel cab). I was hoping this one would be a little bit bigger because the dimensions were bigger than the one I was borrowing; needless to say, I was a tad disappointed when it turned out to be the exact same size. It might be because the walls jut out and the floor/ceiling are tapered in, but they really need to give more accurate dimensions. My dog is about 14 pounds, so she fits just fine - I was just hoping she'd get a little more room out of this one. [Don't let this discourage you, though. She still has ample room to sleep, curl up, etc.) Negativity aside, this kennel is fantastic. It's very sturdy and the color is fabulous! :) I've received many compliments (mostly because the kennel cabs in stores are totally boring colors). So, all in all, I would definitely recommend this particular kennel!

I bought this for my female Pomeranian and would buy it again . .. .pretty and sturdy. No complaints at all . ..

I Love this pink kennel I purchased for my kittie-already took her to the vet in it and it worked great!!

I was just looking for a simple carrier and this one is just right. It comes in two pieces and you just snap the top and bottom halves together. I'm using it for my cat. She's not a big cat so she has plenty of room in this carrier to move around.
