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 its 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 –

Zippers – These are one of my pet peeves as the zipper quality can turn a fantastic carrier into a loser very fast. When the zipper breaks at the airport or even in your car your carrier of choice becomes basically worthless. Make sure the brand you are looking at includes hi quality zippers from a reputable zipper brand. My totes are all designed with only premium brand zippers, and I improve and upgrade them often as new and better versions come along including the automatic self locking zippers which cannot be opened from inside that are used on this tote. Its much better than the old style clasps.What Are Self Locking Zippers and Why Do I Want Them? – About 18 months ago I switched my entire line up of carriers to self locking zippers. Self locking zippers are zippers which are designed in a way that they cannot be pushed open from the inside of the bag. I switched the entire line from the older style locking clasps as I found over a long period of time that the clasps in both metal and plastic were fragile and not durable. The self locking zippers remove the need for clasps, and actually results in a much safer tote for pets, and users overwhelmingly prefer them as they do not have to rely on using the small unreliable clasps. The old style clasps simply do not meet my standards. I always focus firstly on pet safety and comfort, and the reason I switched all of the models to self locking zippers is exactly for that reason.Carrier Structure – Soft Sided Pet Carriers by definition are frameless and are mostly only supported by thin steel wire running along the edges and sides of the tote. Keep in mind when you look over images in a listing on any product those will be taken to show off the product in the best possible way, and are often edited to improve the look of the product image. It is very hard to see differences in materials and structure in a product image, but all of my totes are designed with a very strong waterproof nylon material that is also used in the manufacture of military grade parachutes. The materials used help to avoid the sagging, wrinkled look and give the totes additional structure. Pet Safety & Comfort – Lastly, but the most important feature. The pet tote you choose should have locking zippers and very strong mesh. They should have a leash tether to insure your pet can be secured while stressed during travels. They should have well designed and secure carrying straps. They should have a comfortable bedding pad. All of Mr. Peanut’s tote designs include all of these and more. I also add a thick and plush faux fleece pad with a 1/4″ plywood base for your pet’s comfort and to give a strong, stable base to keep the tote from “sinking” under the weight of your pet.

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.

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 cats, 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 cats, 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 cats, 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 cats, 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 cats, 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.

Solid Wire Frame Structure

This 19X11X11″ tote includes a very sturdy wire frame structure to eliminate that sinking fabric look found on other tote models with a less structured frame. This wire frame insures the tote is fully expanded with plenty of space for your properly sized pet.

Auto Self Locking Zippers

Featuring Premium Self Locking Zippers for long lasting durability. No more trips ruined by a broken zipper on your pet carrier. Automatic Self Locking Zippers that cannot be opened from inside the tote means never having to worry about tiny locking clasps again.
