The number of companion animals has increased in the past decade consistently. We consider pets as family members like their own kids these days. Therefore, there has been a shifting trend from pet owners to pet parents. Factors such as inclining to avoid having children, changing the perception of pets, and new kinds of families drive this trend. In other words, the Pet Industry is getting bigger and bigger.

The curved holes created on one side of the carrier not only ventilation but also interaction with the owners and their pets. The other side is covered for pets to feel comfortable. In other words, they have two options they look outside and commune with their owners or hide and take a break.

The backside contains a pocket for storing. The floor surface is supported with PVC to supplement the weak support provided by the leather.

This strap inside can be tied to a leash or safety belt to prevent accidents where pets jump out unexpectedly.
