Monterey Series Horizontal Backpack Airline Compliant Backpack Dog Carrier

The Monterey Series makes travels with your pet easy. If you have ever tried to carry a pet carrier while juggling a cellphone, baggage and boarding passes you will appreciate the ease of carrying your pet on your back in a horizontal pet carrier.
The Monterey offers a unique and versatile combination of Backpack practicality featuring Premium Self Locking Zippers & Thermal Comfort Padding on Two Sides. This backpack allows your pet to be horizontal, unlike most pet backpacks which are a vertical space for your pet. The Monterey is designed for Biking, Travel, Hiking & Fun with Your Best Friend
The medium size is excellent for in-cabin airline use, designed to lay on its padded side for pet comfort and ease of under seat compatibility. The large size is best used for transcontinental and international routes only, as those aircraft typically have larger under seat spacing than the aircraft used for regional routes.

How to Measure Your Pet
For the most accurate fit, measure your pet while they are comfortably lying down — this is the typical position during flight. Airline-approved totes are designed first for safety and comfort, while also meeting under-seat requirements, which naturally limits sizing options.
Because sizing can sometimes be difficult to gauge from measurements or images alone, we encourage taking extra care before ordering. Returns within the U.S. average $14 in postage, which can be challenging for small makers to absorb. Please review the sizing guidelines and images provided, and if helpful, explore @mrpeanutspetcarriers on Instagram to see real pets of many sizes in different carrier models.
Acclimating Your Pet
Introduce a new carrier in a calm home environment so your pet feels comfortable before travel. Avoid making the first experience a trip to the airport or veterinarian. Instead, allow your pet to get used to the carrier gradually, so it becomes a safe and familiar space — a home away from home.
