So every helpful when traveling with a pet
After spending several evenings pouring over options for a dog travel/tote bag, I finally decided on this one. I adopted my 4 year old Doberman in February, but only recently had the opportunity to use this bag. I wanted something that was large, would hold a fairly large amount of food, be easily organized, came with two matching collapsable bowls for water and food, and was easy to carry. This PetAmi bag seemed to be the best quality and price sporting reviews of many satisfied purchasers. The bag appears to be well constructed of quality materials and when not in use collapses for easy storage. Even though I had watched several videos, as I packed the bag for our weekend trip, I was amazed at just how much I was able to pack into the bag. The two food containers that came with the bag are of the same fabric as the bag and were true to description holding 8 cups of kibble each and stacking one upon the other. From there I added a 7.5 inch square plastic container of fruit and a 5 inch one of treats. Of course toys were needed, so a plastic bag with three 3.5 inch balls, a 10 inch rubber nubby chew bone, a frisbee, a 6 in rubber barbell shaped chew toy, and a rope toy all fit comfortably inside...and there was still room! I was able to fold a waterproof bed cover and lay it on top. The two collapsable plastic bowls fit neatly in front pockets while a package of baby wipes fit in an inside pocket. All was neatly organized and sturdily nestled inside the tote with no jostling around of the items, and I did not even put anything in the mesh pocket on the underside of the top or on the side of the bag (where a water bottle would tuck in nicely). It really was quite amazing! The bag can be carried by two handles which can be held together by a sleeve or carried comfortably on the shoulders by a strap freeing up hands for other tasks. The shoulder strap can be adjusted in length, has a shoulder pad which can be repositioned, and attaches to the bag with large plastic clips; the strap can also be removed from the bag. The inside lining is leakproof; the outside is water repellent and easily wiped clean. There is also an outside sleeve of the same fabric as the bag which enables the bag to be held on top of a pull suitcase when traveling. Even though ours was a car trip, the bag is of the dimensions to fit under an airplane seat and is compliant with airplane regulations according to the description. Everything we needed (except a bed!) was in the bag eliminating multiple paper or plastic sacks tumbling around in the car, searching for which sack held what, and looking for each sack when needed. Once at our destination and the bag was taken inside and put in place everything was easily located and organized. I have taken a lot of teasing about buying luggage for my dog, especially luggage that matches the color of his collar and leash, but let me just say when traveling nothing beats peace of mind stemming from organization, knowing you have everything needed, and having easy access to what is needed when it is needed. With the added benefit of multiple sizes and colors to choose from, why not travel in style? I absolutely loved the freedom this bag gave me during our trip and thoroughly enjoyed using it; I would definitely recommend this for any pet owner.
