What is the maximum weight capacity of this carrier?

Is this carrier suitable for cats or other small animals?

How do I clean the carrier?
The carrier should be spot cleaned only using a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Can I use this carrier for air travel?

Does it come with a leash inside to secure my dog?

Is the carrier waterproof?

Troubleshooting
My dog seems uncomfortable or resists getting into the carrier.
Ensure the internal padding is correctly positioned. Allow your dog to explore the carrier on their own terms, perhaps by placing treats or a favorite toy inside. Gradually introduce them to short periods of time in the carrier before attempting longer trips. Check that the internal adjustable strap is not too tight.
The carrier feels unstable when my dog is inside.
Verify that the shoulder straps are adjusted evenly and securely to your body. Ensure your dog is properly clipped in with the internal carabiner and the drawstring top is securely fastened to prevent excessive movement inside. This carrier is for very small dogs; if your dog is near the weight limit, ensure they are positioned centrally.
I noticed a tear or damage on the carrier.
Immediately cease using the carrier to ensure your pet's safety. Contact customer support for advice on repair or replacement. Do not attempt to use a damaged carrier, as it may compromise your pet's security.
