Good/really good not great September 3, 2010

Bergan Comfort Carrier Soft-Sided Pet Carrier, Large, Black
I purchased two of these carriers to transport for two cats (Bosley and Gnocchi) from San Francisco to New York. Overall they did what they needed to do but there were a few mishaps. The price for these carriers are great at about $32 dollars per bag they were about half the price of what I had to pay to purchase a carrier locally or for other pet carriers on Amazon.
The pros:
*Cheap cost
*Works well for containing an animal for long periods of time
*Removable lining in a material my cats love
*Little pocket I can use to reach in and pet/comfort my pets
*Lots of openings I can slip my hand in through to give them things with (very useful for pre-attaching their harness leash for security walk through at the airport)
*The bag is very flexible. Virgin American let me take them on the place though the dimensions were a bit bigger than standard as they still fit under the seat.
*The bag is made from a very strong material on the outside. When my cat flipped over I thought the carrier would rip when I though I felt claws on the bottom side but really nothing ripped at all even when my cats tried to claw themselves out after being confined for 10 hours on a car ride from San Francisco to LA (prior to flying to NYC).
*My cats have large frames and there was still plenty of room for them to move about in the carrier. I wish there was a medium size carrier by Bergan though as this one is a bit on the larger size.
The cons:
*The lining is removable and not very secure. My cat freaked out at one point in the car ride and got under the lining and was sort of stuck underneath for a period of time before I could pull over and right him in the carrier
*The shoulder strap is not that strong. My cats weigh 12-13 pounds each and it felt like the plastic hooks might break
*The support the bag gives is not that great. Same as above, it definitely felt as if the cats were sagging in the bag and the weight distribution is not good unless you hold it by the handle from above.
*The bag may not hold up to consistent use. The fabric on the inside of the carrier after about 3 days of use is pretty clawed up (just small claw holes, no stratches/cuts in the fabric). I think the fabric inside is may from some kind of acetate/polyester blend and it isn't holding up well.
*The bag does not stay upright. After awhile my cats would freak out on their own inside the carrier and basically roll over. I used these carriers as kennels to contain my cats as I cleaned my new apartments bathroom with bleach and I put them on one side of the room. After about 30 minutes they had rolled themselves to mid-room. Basically it is like trapping them in a big flexible bag so don't expect them to stay put if you have active large cats.
Overall, while there are a lot of cons, the bag is a good deal and they look nice and my cats seemed to like them originally prior to being shut in them for a few hours (they now have a very strong aversion to the carriers once the zip is closed.
Very nice but SMALL August 29, 2010

Overall I really like this carrier! It seems very well made and has nice pockets for storage and great handles. The only problem is that it is VERY small! My 9lb cat does fit in it but she doesn't really have any extra room.

Still a bit small for my Shih Tzu but she got used to it now. She can sleep in the bag now.

bergan pet carrier August 19, 2010
D. Troelstrup
The carrier was nice an airy with great access to the pet providing lots of zippers on the front, back, and top. The bag is lightweight and easy to carry. The bags runs a little small compared with other carriers so you may want to order a larger size than what you think you need. Overall very satified. Great bag for great price. Shipped fast as well.
