The pet sling carrier is constructed very well. The fabric is so cute and reversable. It has a good deep "pouch" that easily holds my chihuahua. I do find that the strap is a bit too long. My dog is actually sitting below my hip bone. I think this can be fixed by stitching a tuck in the strap.One thing I am worried about is my dog jumping out of the sling. There is a small leash type thingy included but I'm not sure of its purpose. If you hook the strap to your dog's collar and the dog jumps out, it would hang the animal. I would think this sling is good for an older and settled pet. One that is more interested in being carried around.
It's a little too long for my 5 foot frame, so I just pinned up the strap and it fits perfectly. My dog absolutely loves the sling and so do I.

oh my gosh. this is actually my *third* pet carrier...the last one was fairly good (outward bound pet sling) but SOME little doggie has a thing for the webbing texture, and chewed partway through the strap. (along with several leashes...)this one, however, is over-the-top nice. it's deep enough so my 6.5 pound poodle cannot jump out. the construction of it means there isn't an elasticized top edge for her to lean on and choke herself (which happened on a regular basis with the outward bound pet sling). she's very relaxed in the sling, and so rides along a lot more comfortably, which makes both of us happy.
shadow is my diabetic alert service dog, so she goes everywhere with me. and while 6.5 pounds isn't *that* heavy, it gets heavy in a big hurry when i'm carrying her around! the way the sling is made, the strap spreads the weight further along the shoulder than it had been with other bags, so it doesnt dig into my neck. and while other reviews talk about how long the sling fit on their body, on my 5'1" body it isn't too long at all. the opening of the bag is right at my waist, and shadow 's head is *right* there where it needs to be for her to monitor for low blood sugar on me.There are many stores that allow you to bring your dog while you are shopping (i.e. Home Depot, Ocean States Job Lot)but with a teacup poodle I'm always afraid to let her walk in these stores because she is likely to be stepped on. This sling carrier works perfectly. I can carry her and keep my hands free for shopping. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that I am only 5 feet tall, and in order for this to work properly I've had to shorten it.I have a Maltipoo puppy of 3 1/2 months. She presently weighs 4 lbs. and fits very comfortably in the carrier. Since I am 5ft tall the strap was a tad long. I made a 2 inch fold in the fabric and pinned with a safty pin. Both she and I couldn't live without this carrier. Thank you so much this is the best!!!!.
