This carrier looks and feels sturdy and well made. The fleece pad for the floor is soft and cozy looking. The strap is quite comfortable too. I have a medium to large size cat, approximately 11 pounds, and found this carrier much smaller in size than I expected and had to return it. If you have a small dog or small cat, this would be a very nice carrier. I'd suggest measuring your pet's height and length to make sure they'd fit comfortably into it's dimensions before you get this carrier.

I purchased this bag to take my 12 pound puppy on a plane. He fit perfectly in it, and it fit perfectly under the seat. I highly recommend this item!

Bergan Comfort Carrier Soft-Sided Pet Carrier, Large, Black
I purchased two of these carriers to transport for two cats (Bosley and Gnocchi) from San Francisco to New York. Overall they did what they needed to do but there were a few mishaps. The price for these carriers are great at about $32 dollars per bag they were about half the price of what I had to pay to purchase a carrier locally or for other pet carriers on Amazon.
The pros:
*Cheap cost
*Works well for containing an animal for long periods of time
*Removable lining in a material my cats love
*Little pocket I can use to reach in and pet/comfort my pets
*Lots of openings I can slip my hand in through to give them things with (very useful for pre-attaching their harness leash for security walk through at the airport)
*The bag is very flexible. Virgin American let me take them on the place though the dimensions were a bit bigger than standard as they still fit under the seat.
*The bag is made from a very strong material on the outside. When my cat flipped over I thought the carrier would rip when I though I felt claws on the bottom side but really nothing ripped at all even when my cats tried to claw themselves out after being confined for 10 hours on a car ride from San Francisco to LA (prior to flying to NYC).
*My cats have large frames and there was still plenty of room for them to move about in the carrier. I wish there was a medium size carrier by Bergan though as this one is a bit on the larger size.
The cons:
*The lining is removable and not very secure. My cat freaked out at one point in the car ride and got under the lining and was sort of stuck underneath for a period of time before I could pull over and right him in the carrier
*The shoulder strap is not that strong. My cats weigh 12-13 pounds each and it felt like the plastic hooks might break
*The support the bag gives is not that great. Same as above, it definitely felt as if the cats were sagging in the bag and the weight distribution is not good unless you hold it by the handle from above.
*The bag may not hold up to consistent use. The fabric on the inside of the carrier after about 3 days of use is pretty clawed up (just small claw holes, no stratches/cuts in the fabric). I think the fabric inside is may from some kind of acetate/polyester blend and it isn't holding up well.
*The bag does not stay upright. After awhile my cats would freak out on their own inside the carrier and basically roll over. I used these carriers as kennels to contain my cats as I cleaned my new apartments bathroom with bleach and I put them on one side of the room. After about 30 minutes they had rolled themselves to mid-room. Basically it is like trapping them in a big flexible bag so don't expect them to stay put if you have active large cats.
Overall, while there are a lot of cons, the bag is a good deal and they look nice and my cats seemed to like them originally prior to being shut in them for a few hours (they now have a very strong aversion to the carriers once the zip is closed.
Honest reviews on Bergan Comfort Carrier Soft-Sided Pet Carrier
I did lots of research online and in person before buying this carrier for my 8-lb. cat. I'd purchased another one because it was cheap ($15 or so), and learned the hard way that a flimsy, too-big carrier is actually worse than none at all. Advantages of this product: you can soothe the animal with a gentle hand via a zip-open access, the carrier has a soft, relatively stiff base that keeps your pet stable when carried, there's lots of ventilation, the carrier opens at both ends, and the product is well-constructed and sturdy. Small size is perfect for airline carry-on. (Don't know about the other sizes.) I'd read in another review that cats are more comfortable in a carrier on the small size rather than too roomy; now that I've gone both ways, I know that's true. Tip: two weeks prior to the trip I unzipped the carrier and placed it near her food dish so she'd become accustomed to it. I put a few kibbles inside, which she approached warily and finally ate. Getting her into the carrier on travel day was MUCH less traumatic than any previous trip, and being able to pet her reassuringly en route made a big difference. (BTW, I also purchased the "Come with me kitty" harness and leash for extra control in case she struggled while being removed and replaced for the airport security check. It worked well as a precautionary measure, but I sure can't imagine walking a cat with it.)

My cat's my best buddy (10lb tabby), and I was about to travel across the continent and over a huge mass of water for 14 hours. I wasn't going to put him through the trauma of being with the baggage if at all possible. So, there I was on the hunt for the best carrier for both he and I for him, something comfortable and cozy, and for me, something that was easy to travel with, light, and gave me piece of mind that he was comfortable and cozy. This is the carrier that met my needs.
I went to the pet stores and "test drove" many bags, some were too uncomfortable to sling over your shoulder and had zippers and pockets that were difficult to manage this carrier was none of the above. It had ample number of pockets to store toys and treats, and it had a very soft "bed" that's easily removable for cleaning. I double-checked dimensions on 3 different airframes as we were transferring planes from one airline to another... this carrier fit just fine when positioned on its side and tucked underneath the chair in front of me. Also, it's frame holds its shape well when pulled back out and fits easily in the space between you and the chair in front of you (might be a little tight for those with longer legs). Something I liked very much was the viewable space all around the carrier. There were enough "screened" sides on the carrier that made me feel my cat was getting more than enough air and had enough windows to look out and not feel claustrophobic.
