I have used a few different bags with the privacy panels. I check on Wendell now and then, and he has never seemed over heated in any of them. The flap isn't a tight seal, there is still plenty of space for air to get in.
The bags that I have are; a Vera Bradley Pet Carrier, one made by a company called Doggy Dollie that I got on Amazon.com, and the third one is a Kwigy-Bo Alexa. I realize that these look enough like purses that a man wouldn't be comfortable carrying them, but they all have privacy panels and zip completely closed on top. So the overall design is similar to the one you are looking at.
Wendell is 7 lbs. and he loves all of the bags. He gets all excited when I even go into the guest room because he knows that his travel bags are in the closet in that room. |
