Bergan Comfort Carrier Soft-Sided Pet Carrier Review

Finding a good pet carrier is important both for you and for the pet that has to be inside of it. The Bergan Comfort Carrier Soft-Sided Pet Carrier comes in small, medium, and large and can be purchased for under $35 from amazon.com.

The small carrier can hold pets up to ten pounds while the large size can carry up to 22 pounds. However, you may want to measure your pet and compare it to the dimension of the bag to make sure he will really fit.

I purchased the large size for my 12 pound dog. While he does get heavy to carry after awhile, the padded shoulder strap really helps to keep the bag comfortable on my shoulder. I really like that most of the upper part of the bag is made of mesh to keep it well ventilated. I feel comfortable leaving my dog inside while we are traveling because I know he is getting plenty of fresh air.

At 19 x 10 x 13 inches, the bag is small enough to carry onto an airplane. It will fit beneath the seat in front of you so you can keep an eye on your pet during the flight. The bag also has lots of external pockets so that you can keep everything your pet will need well organized in his own bag.

A neat feature of this carrier is that it comes with a fleece travel bed. The inside of the bag comes out so that it can be used as a bed for your pet when you get to your destination. This also means that you can remove the bed to put it in the washer when it gets dirty.

Another thing that I really like about this carrier is the PetConnect zipper that is placed so you can reach in and pet your animal while carrying the bag. This really comes in handy if your pet gets upset and you want to calm him down but cannot take him out of the carrier at that time.

Once my dog got used to the carrier, he actually seemed to enjoy being inside. During our first trip, I left the bag open on the hotel room floor and my dog climbed back in to sleep in the bed.

The bag also has safety straps so you can buckle it in when you are riding in a car.
