Is this sturdy enough that you can lift it with the dog in it? Thinking about traveling Amtrak with my pooch . . .

This is not a crate suitable for travel. Even if you have a very small dog, this is a soft-side crate and it would not offer your dog any protection from bumps or impacts of any sort. Plus the stitching could burst and sharp objects could tear the fabric. Use a plastic crate for travel, save this one for motel use.

I can't say for sure as I have a 100 pound dog in mine but I would expect it be for a small dog. I feel it's well made. The pad inside didn't last ... We replaced w/memory foam bathmat.

Yes, the crate is strong enough but it is pretty big and taller than the usual 36" crate. My Brodie weighs over 60 lbs and I wouldn't be able to lift this crate by myself with him inside. But, to answer your question, yes it is well made and should be strong enough. Great the Amtrak is finally going to allow dogs on some trains.

My gut instinct is to say no. It's a very sturdy crate but I would be leery of lifting my 55 lb. dog while he was in it. It would probably be fine a few times, but may start to break the stitching down over time. Great crate though. Folds up easy and is quite transportable.

No, my dog weighs 35 lbs, but I would not trust trying to carry this crate with my dog inside, and besides it would just be difficult to pick up....I think it would be fine for a smaller dog, such as under 20 lbs.

Depends - how big is your dog? All sides are soft, beld together with metal frame. So if you have a little pocket dog, it might work. But the bottom is soft too, so just keep that in mind.

My yorkie/Maltese mix loves it .... He rides with his head out of the top and his front paws on my back. YES he is tethered. I have a Fatboy and put the pet palace between me and the backrest for extra support, but it will work on a standard luggage rack as well. As stated earlier in another post it has lots of places to attach and it is very rigid. Highly recommend.

we use ours to haul 2 16lbs dog at the same time, it would be great for a beagle sized dog.

Yes this is sturdy. But if your puppy is a heavy chewer I would not recommend.

It is very sturdy, but I cannot answer your question. My dog is under 50 pounds and it easily accomodates his weight.

Probably not. It's not very heavy and can easily be pushed over or the individual sections can become separated. It's absolutely great for small dogs and puppies. If a medium or large dog wants out, it will get out. Hope that helps.

It is sturdy - but it can also be broken down in a matter of minutes. I am assuming that the airlines would be civil with your pet - making it something that they would most likely accept.

Yes.........But it not quite sturdy enough. I have average size bird dogs they weigh about 75 pounds and when left alone in the car they went through the barrier simply bending and spreading the ends.

I have mine loaded up in my utility room with all my dog stuff.. shampoos, sprays, leashes, treats, dog bones, etc. It seems pretty sturdy to me!

I think you can, it is very sturdy. My dog won't fit but it should work for yours.

You may get a few uses out of it, but I personally don't think it's sturdy enough for a larger dog. The back legs on the steps snap into place and are not meant to fold in and out regularly--which would mean the plastic snaps will eventually break. Plus, the back legs are thin. Very thin. I'm about 115 lbs. and I would NOT!!! go up and down on it myself.

Might be a little smooched so if your pet is small it might be ok then once the place gets up just pull it out a little inbetween your legs but the carrier is flexible so as long as your pet doesn't take up the whole carried and it has a good amount of room left over I think it should be fine. I'm comparing it to a bag I just brought on a plane as a carry on that fit under the seat semi smooshed

It will hold up OK. The panel on the left isn't well supported so it can get damaged if you drag it. If you lift it with two people it shouldn't be a problem.

I think so, it's not heavy duty but seems strong enough. Is your pug somewhat calm? If he/she fought against the carrier, I don't think it would hold.

its sturdy so it would definitely can carry 28 lbs dog. im not sure how tall ur dog is but medium size or little bigger then medium size dog might not be so comfortable in it. i can fit 3 of my cats in it but they cant move around at all therefore i only take 2 out at a time, each one weighs 12 lbs. not sure bout dogs but if they like to chew around the zipper part of this stroller not strong. my stroller has already ripped from the mid zipper.

It's pretty strong. Although our dog is only 75 lbs, I think it would hold a much heavier animal.

I believe it can withstand that weight. However, I don't think it's wide enough for such a large dog. But dogs are particular, just like we are, it may not matter to him. ; )
