My husband and I started Prefer Pets in 2006 on an afternoon drive to Victory Park in Pasadena CA, to spend a lovely Saturday with our 2 pekes, Button and ShoSho. On our way there, our boy Button escaped from the carrier that we had bought at a pet box store and proceed to play with us by running around on the floor of the car, ducking under the car seats, and finally wedging himself behind the brake pedal (Button being a tiny 3 months old at the time). Luckily, we were able to stop the car without any injury.This is when we knew we need to have a better carrier to travel safely with our 2 fur-kids.
From our first carriers, original duffel and original backpack, created with features and functions that we wished we had on that day, we have persistently evolve the designs of our bags based on feedbacks and pressure points from real customers and from our own journeys with Button and ShoSho as they grew older. Every Prefer Pets product that we make, it is with the thought of what we would want ourselves in term of mindful designs, quality material & construction, and customer service when we were buying pet products for Button and ShoSho.
Today, we proudly remain a family business and are still based in Southern California, and while our little boy and little girl are no longer with us, we are committed to continue making quality travel carriers for pets and the people who loves them, for enjoying life’s journey with their own Buttons and ShoShos.
I like to bring my cat when I go out, I really like this backpack for my cat, make a lot easy when we hang out
My 9 year old silky loves his new mode of transportation. He is a lover of strollers and being pushed around like a King to receive his adoring public. This backpack is another regal way of transporting his highness! It is a little snug (which is fine by him) so measure your King or Queen carefully. For me, it is was easy to set up (instructions included). It is durable, easily holds his weight (15 lbs) and relatively comfortable to wear on back or front. Hope this helps!
My Doxie got a herniated disk but I didn’t want her to miss out on hiking. Invested in this carrier to carry her along with us while out and about. Great product.
This bag is awesome! I know some dog carriers look nicer but the convince of this thing is great! I own two different backpack kinds and prefer this one over the other because it has a pocket to put things in that the other does not. Would not travel any other way. So nice being able to free your hands and not carry a heavy bag around.
I love this backpack. I bought it so I could take my Pomeranian with me, and I got a large size so he could sit up, stand, move around, and rest comfortably. It's collapsible for storage, but kind of a pain in the butt to fuss with the frame, so I leave it up and just put it in the closet. It's comfortable to wear, comfortable for the dog to be in, and plenty of windows for him to look out of.
I just like it to bring my weenie dog in stores lol
We bought this bag about 8 months ago and have used it extensively on hikes, bike rides, and car rides. The pup loves the bag, and so do we! The quality is very very good! A really great bag!
Quality product. I purchased this product for my pup poodle. The carrier has plenty of ventilation which enables me to carry him in long walks in 80 degree F weather. I've had other carriers that became very hot in mild weather so ventilation was very important to me. The carrier can be folded without difficulty for easy storage. I opted to keep it on the floor so that my pup has access to it incase he wants to go into it.
