Product description

Features -

Mr. Peanut's Platinum Series models offer a premium design & style combined with upgraded materials all around, with premium brand self locking zippers and a plush removable faux fleece pad with a plywood base insert for additional stability and weight handling.What's the Difference? I enjoy when buyers ask me this question. Having designed and sold multi thousands of pet carriers and hearing every issue and concern I can answer this here as best I can. I know it is hard when shopping online. All of the pet carriers you see look similar and its hard to compare materials, features and the "look and feel" as one can easily do in person, but here is my summary of what to look for in a pet carrier and what is most important to know or ask, so look for these key features in all brands and compare -

I am constantly updating and improving all of the various tote series with each successive generation. I am never satisfied, so I am always improving features of each model with each production run. All of my totes are hand sewn to my specifications by contracted factories in various countries. Mr. Peanut’s is a USA based, family run business located in Henderson, Nevada and a proud sponsor of the Pay a Shelter Pet Forward program.

Many Copy the Design, None Copy the Quality

I always recommend measuring your pet while comfortably laying down, as many pets will tend to curl up a bit. Weight alone is not a good indicator for sizing. Keep in mind airline capable carriers are limited in sizing by under seat constraints, so we want a carrier that's comfortable but that is also under seat compliant. Interior measurements of any model will be a bit less than maximum exterior simply due to fabric and padding thicknesses. Only the smallest of small pets can fully stand with an airline capable model which is designed to accommodate an 8.5” seat height, a crouch is more typical.

The smaller Mr. Peanut’s models such as the Gold Series Mini and Rhodium Series Mini are about 14” (35.5cm) on the interior length and about 8.5-9” (23cm) of interior height. Best fitting for pets like small Animals & Pet Supplies, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Maltese, etc

The standard sized models such as the Diamond, Gold, Silver, Rhodium and Platinum Series models are about 16" (41cm) interior length and about 10” (25cm) interior height. These well fit the smaller pets of similar sizes such as medium Animals & Pet Supplies, Daschunds, Terriers, small Pugs, King Charles Cavs, Poms, etc.

The larger Gold Series Big Apple sized model is about as large as one can go for airline capability. It is about an 18" (46cm) interior length but the same height and width as the standard sized models. The exterior is about 2” (5cm) longer at 20” (51cm) exterior than most airlines will spec, but it’s built for those pets where there is simply not an option for a smaller size. The Big Apple model has been on the market for a long period of time now, literally sold worldwide, and a very popular model. I have yet to receive a review or complaint of it not being accepted by an airline. It is a good fit for pets of similar size as larger Animals & Pet Supplies, medium Frenchies, Maltipoos, Corgis, Bostons, Pugs, etc.

Backpacks are a great choice for taller pets or those users who seek to take the weight off of their shoulders and free up their hands in busy airports. All of the backpack models are made to lay on their short sides for under seat use, and are padded on both bottom and sides for this. The smaller backpack models consist of the Vancouver, the Monterey, and the Malibu Series. Those smaller backpacks are best fit for smaller Animals & Pet Supplies, small dog breeds such as Chihuahua, Yorkies, Bunnies, etc.

The larger backpack models consist of the Aspen and the Tahoe Series. These models well fit medium to large Animals & Pet Supplies, small Bostons, Daschunds, small Pugs and similar sized breeds.

And for even larger pets where airline capability is not needed but maximum space is desired, do check out the Coronado XL Series as well as the Mr. Peanut’s Portable Pet Crate. Both are structured larger models with considerably more height and space than airline capable carriers can offer.

Combining Pet Safety, Comfort, Style and Value

Moving thru a busy airport can be stressful, but less so with the convenient luggage strap

AIRLINE REQUIREMENTS - Buyers often ask about "TSA", "IATA" and "FAA" rated and the fact is that there are only guidelines for animals carried in the cargo holds of airliners, but these do NOT apply to in passenger cabin pet carriers. Always keep in mind each airline sets their own specific requirements, and they can even vary from their domestic, international and shuttle routes so it is always advised to check with your airline of choice. All airlines have very similar sizing guidelines, and all will require your pet to be comfortable in the carrier, well ventilated and to remain under the seat in front of you during flight. The popularity of soft sided carriers stems from their adjustability to fit under the various seat configurations of modern aircraft, and we have designed our carrier to have a pliable top so that it can easily stow under the 8.5" seat in front of you on most modern day aircraft configurations.
