I purchased this carrier for my aging toy poodle and he loves it. I have no problem getting him to get right in and it buckles safely in to the car seat. It is handsome and lightweight, with great rolling features so it needn't be carried. It also works as a back pack which my sons find convenient.  Since our little dog cries when left alone we have had to take him with us every where we go. He comes unnoticed to restaurants with us sleeping quietly while we eat. I had movers here last week and he was happy as a clam to observe the chaos from the safety of his carrier.  It is also easy to clean and I love the moss color w/ black. Great item, great price and came nearly over night. I'm very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it for your favorite little pet.
