I haven't had mine very long but I have seen some lightly used ones that did not look to be in very good shape. I think it is a fairly large amount of money to pay for a pet carrier so I think it should stand up to the wear for more than a year of moderate use.
I just feel bad for Gracie. I think of how I would feel if I was stuck in a little box and unable to turn around or straighten out my legs or lift my head. I am a bit claustrophobic anyway. I will probably end up with several different carriers before I figure out what is best. The ones I have seen that have more head room do not have the pull down covers for the vents for when you want to go inside somewhere. I was thinking that I could just carry a scarf to throw over the top when I go inside. I think that might be better than shutting off the air flow all together anyway. |
