Handlich und stabil
Habe mir diese Box fr den zuknftigen kleinen Welpen geholt, vorwiegend als nchtlichen Schlafplatz in der ersten Zeit und als mobiler Schlafplatz, wenn wir auswrts sind. Die Box ist vom Handling wie die Einkaufsboxen und einfach zu entfalten” und bei Nichtgebrauch gut zu verstauen. Top Verarbeitung, stabile Gittertren und kein Plastikgeruch.
Lsst sich auch problemlos aufgebaut tragen ( ohne Hund). Passt leider nur quer in den Kofferraum des Q3 ! Aber da gibts ja auch noch andere Boxen und auerdem habe ich eh vom alten Hund ein Hundegitter.
Mir gefllt die Box auch optisch gut.
Suits my needs perfectly, have ordered another for my second dog
Liked the ease of assembly although you do have to wiggle the ends to get them to lock in place. Once in very sturdy. Like that it folds down for the boot of the ca
Foldable pet travel box
Love this box, it is better than I expected, my pup loves to sleep in it, he walks in and snuggles down.
I wouldn’t use this to transport my dog on a plane but I didn’t buy it for air travel.
Would definitely buy this again.
Fantastic
The photos are for the 20 kg one FC670. Will upload a video and a pic of it from a distance and folded to show you true size and just how fast and easy it is to open.
Absolutely love and and my tiny doggies were excited ran in and out of it for a while. Both fit inside it enough room for both albeit would be a bit tight to lie down for both. One is 4 pounds the other 9 pounds.
It has a handle when compacted down so you can carry it. Would be better on the side the handle though, once packed up because of the width. The width with handle on the top folded makes it harder to carry if your travelling public transporteven folded.
I hope this lasts a long time. Pretty expensive but cheaper than elsewhere online. Took me three attempts to get this over a month to finally get an order through and delivered.
Its a japanese brand I think. The Japanese have morals and values when it comes to producing high quality products. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Japanese product albeit lot more expensive. Part of their respect in their culture is ensuring high quality work ethics with products.
Would recommend. Its very easy to pop open.
Has 2 doors one at back and the front with the front one having a button in middle to press to open it. The doors pull up and pop into place easily from folding to open kennel.
I need to travel hours to get to nearest city. I needed a folding kennel for the air b n bs where I can take it with me on trains. so dogs will be in kennel in the air b n b rental. So this is perfect. I’ll pop it in my folding wagon I use for travel as I can’t carry it with handle on the top when I have other bags its wide where handle is. I’ll post pic of that today and a video.
Very good
I bought this large size carrier for my cat who just refused to go in his old carrier which was very much smaller than this. When you tried to put him in the old one he would just put the brakes on. A real struggle. The entrance door is nice and big with good ventilation and vision. Yes it is heavy I will admit but it is secure and safe. Another good thing is that you can easily and quickly close the door with one hand and not fiddle around trying to keep the cat in and also lock the door with the other type of carrier locks. More expensive but worth it. Plenty of room for blankets etc. Very pleased.
arrived next day, great service, thank you.
Was a bit fazed by the weight of this carrier, it is quite hefty and with my hefty Maine Coon inside I shall need a fork lift to lift it for me.
Overall I am quite pleased with it, it is smart and roomy enough for my cat to lay out flat, which Maine Coons seem to prefer., and there was no problem putting it up, it simply unfolds, marvellous.
Quality
I’m so pleased with this carrier I’ve ordered another as I have 2 cats…..my rag doll should fit in the smaller sized one ! On eBay it’s truly expensive so it’s v good value here. Easy to put up no arguments with it ! no sharp edges perfect.
I have 2 now! Please bear in mind because of its robustness its slightly heavier than your average pet carrier!
Great selle
Didn’t keep this product as it was too large but seller was great and collected and refunded no quibble s. Great product, just wrong for us.
So pleased with this folding pet carrier.
I read all the reviews but was still a little worried about buying this pet carrier. So imagine my delight when I realised it is great product although I don’t ‘ carry’ it as such. We put it in the car when needed and the dog now happily goes in it when travelling. We have used it about 8 times so far – perfect for our westie.
Excellent quality dog carrier.
Bought this for our new rescue dog and it’s great. We use it in the car and the double door means he can see us and stays calm.
We leave it in the kitchen with the door open and he uses it as a bed when he wants to sleep. Assembly is very easy and it is very sturdy once assembled it can also be folded down if required for easy storage. I would definitely recommend this item it is an excellent quality dog carrier for a small dog.
Excellent cage.
Absolutely brilliant cage. Really solid but incredibly easy to fold down – saves a load of space. Only used once so far for 2 Guinea pigs and they seemed happy enough.
Easy to fold and unfold
Really pleased will suit our cats for journeys to the vets and fit our border terrier in the car as she hates the car and bounces all over so will keep her safe . So easy to fold and unfold x very pleased x
Very impressed, needed a new carrier & found this on Amazon during lockdown, its light, nicely made & sturdy enough to hold my ” baby tiger ” whose 7.5kg. It also folds down and easily fits under a bed or in a wardrobe, the handle is good too big & rounded enough to fill my hand so less chafing & cutting & it can lean to the side so you can lift it quickly or fits flat in the slot out of the way. Neat enough to take a seat belt too.
dies ist eine gerumige hundebox, in der unser hundewelpe sich sehr wohl fhlt und nachts darin mit geschlossener tr sicher und seelig schlft. sehr gut finde ich die eckige form, dadurch gewinnt man innen mehr platz. die blichen hundeboxen sind mehr oder weniger an den ecken rund geformt, dadurch geht wertvoller platz verloren und die mae von innen/auen unterscheiden sich oft deutlich voneinander, das ist hier nicht der fall. sehr gut finde ich, dass man die box schnell einklappen kann, damit ist sie nicht so sperrig und schnell platzsparend verstaut, dies war mitunter (neben der form) ein kaufgrund. die stabilitt ist natrlich nicht vergleichbar mit einer alubox, fr die meisten hunde sollte das trotzdem reichen, es sei denn man hat ein stark randalierendes exemplar, dann knnte hundi samt box auch mal umkippen (hier knnte wohl eine ausreichende gewhnung eine gewisse abhilfe schaffen). alles in allem, bin ich derzeit sehr zufrieden.
Die Box ist ganz cool.
Wir haben sie allerdings erst eine Nacht ausprobiert.
Fr unseren kleinen Welpen Nachts total gut!
Vor allem,falls sie mal operiert werden muss…
Da ist sie gleich an die Box gewhnt.
Sie zieht sich auch gern Tagsber darin zurck, da meine Kinder den ganzen Tag spielen knnten.
Ich finde die Box allerdings schon schwer.
Wenn der Hund dann ausgewaschen ist…..
Very good pet carrie
Absolutely perfect for my jack russell terrier it comes already assembled all you have to do is click it into place and push the clasps down easy to clean and very sturdy would recommend
When you first set up the carrier you might think it’s a bit flimsy. I have purchased two of these for our min schnauzers. They use them as cubbies at night (not locked). We take them on holiday – the carrier packs down very well. We find the carriers suit our purposes.
This is the only carrier that would fit in my Mazda MX5 and it’s amazing. I collected my whippet puppy and drove for 6 hours to get home. It’s so easy to assemble (you could do it blindfolded) and really sturdy. He had plenty of room being only 8 weeks old and will still fit him for a while yet.
The fact that this is collapsible is amazing. A key concern was storage so this is fantastic! The shape makes it more difficult to carry than soft cases but it’s a balancing act as it is also easier to get your pet into! What would be useful is if the carrier had top access as well although I appreciate that this might be difficult in light of the collapsible design! All in all I am happy with the carrier which was received promptly and is extremely easy to assemble and collapse. It is also not unattractive. Most importantly of all, it is spacious and seemingly comfortable, particularly with a little blanket.
I received this yesterday (very fast delivery) and used it today for a trip to the vets with my noisy siamese cat. Very easy to assemble and put down, plenty of room for my tall cat (I ordered the S). I would highly recommend this carrier if you want a quality product, you can also feel confident your pet is secure and not going anywhere until you open the door.
Recommend this product.
We bought this to transport our large Maine Coon cat to the vets and cattery. There’s plenty of room for her and it feels sturdy. It folds down very easily for storage. Would recommend this.
A good quality dog crate, folds up very easily
Very easy to use, ideal for my border terrier, plenty of space inside for him
En plus de l’aspect trs astucieux de cette caisse qui permet d’occuper beaucoup moins de place quand elle n’est pas utilise, la qualit perue du produit est manifeste. Pour notre part, achete pour une utilisation en C-C ou l’espace est trs important. Autre avantage, nous pouvons y laisser tapis et autre couverture l’intrieur mme plie. Revers de la mdaille quant la qualit, le poids semble un peu plus lev qu’une cage standard, mais on ne peut tout avoir en mme temps. Utilise pour un Pinscher allemand, le grand modle est top! Dommage qu’il n’en existe pas de taille plus importante pour les chiens plus gros! Donc limit aux tailles moyennes.
Easy to use durable
Size L is comftable and spacey for my Westie (turn ,sit,nose to tail )
If you want smaller size buy black one but your dog would have to lie down or be sitting low. Our dog loves it and hide in it willingly ps we plan to use it for travel for further walks. So no problem when dog gets dirty
Dog loves it so one happy custome
Fantastic carrier pricey but well worth it as it’s strong and collapsible so handy to store away
Molto contento dell’acquisto, si apre e si ripiega facilmente; la struttura solida, per contro risulta molto pesante anche vuoto; lo utilizzo per trasportare un maialino vietnamita, ma all’occorrenza stata usata come gabbia di trasporto per un pappagallo cenerino: le barre di metallo sono molto resistenti, e permettono di fissare posatoi e contenitori cibo per l’appunto per un pappagallo (ripeto, utilizzo sporadico di emergenza durante gli spostamenti).
Insomma unica pecca il peso, anche da vuota, ma di conseguenza risulta molto solida.
We recently rescued 2 feral kittens and they were naturally VERY wary of humans and cages. Getting the little boy into his existing cat carrier was nigh-on impossible even after several *weeks* of feeding him in it to help acclimatise him. It normally involved biting, scratching and a whole lot of stress for everyone involved. We wanted a bigger cage so he wouldn’t feel as trapped, and we also wanted one with a quick close mechanism so we weren’t fighting him to shut the door.
This absolutely ticks both those boxes: the carrier is very big, you could easily fit a small dog — or, in our case, both the cats, even once they’re fully grown. The door mechanism is also much simpler and shuts and secures easily. Most importantly, the first time we tried it on the kitten, he didn’t even react. MUCH calmer, no panicking from me and no blood drawn from me! Win-win.
Add in the fact that it very cleverly packs near-flat and is easier to store than cages we have half its size is very impressive. My only gripe would be that it feels a little cheap — there are some fairly large gaps that I worry could trap a paw and the carry handle doesn’t feel as sturdy as I’d hope. I’d definitely be concerned about carrying a much larger animal.
However, for our purposes it is absolutely brilliant. I’d definitely recommend for those with nervous cats.
Perfect addition to any pet transport equipme
The way it folds up together to make a handy size

bought for a small jack russell and the space is good for him and when not in use folds quite flat.
Die Box ist innerhalb 10 Sekunden zusammengebaut und wirkt stabil und sicher.
Da mein Kater unheimliche Angst vor Transportboxen hat, sollte etwas gerumigeres her.
Auf dem Bild sieht man die Box in Gre “L”. Der schwarze Kater ist gro, muskuls und wiegt ber 7 kg. Er passt sogar locker mit der anderen 4,5 kg Katze rein. Da ich nicht vor hatte beide in einer Transportbox zu transportieren (sollte man bei Katzen sowieso nicht, vor allem nicht wenn eine von denen panische Angst hat) ist die Box nur fr eine Katze leider etwas zu sperrig und fr mich als Frau (inkl. Katze) einfach zu schwer, deshalb habe ich sie zurck geschickt. Die kleinere Box wre fr meinen Kater wiederum zu klein. Ein Mittelding zwischen “S” und “L” wre toll.
Wer bei YouTube “Iris Collapsible Pet Carrier Airline Approved” eingibt, kann ein schnes Video vom Zusammenbauen anschauen.
Ich hoffe, meine Bewertung war etwas hilfreich 🙂
Excellent space saver, bought the large for a cocker spaniel puppy to grow into. He loves it!
Delighted
Delighted our chorkie has loads of room he can stand up in it, he’s turned out the size of his mother a big Yorkshire terrier, easily assembled in seconds and great that it folds for storing
Sturdy, well-buil
Sturdy, well-built, packs down small for storage. Only problem is that the cat likes sitting on it so much we hven’t been able to fold it up and put it away.
Great Carrie
Very sturdy and secure and strong without weighing too much. Love that it folds down as cat carriers take up a lot of cupboard space.
Excellent Carrier.
Excellent Carrier can’t go wrong with this 12kg is ideal for my pug.
Pet carrie
it is a great pet box and folding as well is great. easy to assemble in few seconds. Seems a bit weak though on the doors so if you want to give you pet to someone else to carry and make sure the door don’t open I wouldn’t recommend.
I am surprised at the quality of this box and the ease of storage. I bought the blue large size for my little old (very playful) cat for her long journey to her new home in France in a few months. Not used yet but it is nice and roomy for her journey and will fit well on the back seat of our pickup. I didn’t want her squashed in her little small carry (vet) box and wanted her to have room for toys and bedding and food and drink and not too dark so she can see out and see me! I am very happy with purchase and I think she will be too! Once in France it will be very useful for animal rescue which I intend doing.
I have only one small gripe which the manufacturers may want to take on board – an opening door on both ends may prove useful in certain situations (at present the opening door is only on one end).
Great Pet Carrier!
Great Product. Best pet carrier I’ve ever had or seen. Lightweight, compact when folded. Lots of space too. Highly recommend.
The item appears to be very solidly built out of good materials.
I haven`t used this yet as my kittens haven`t grown into it yet,but as they`re Bengal crossbreeds I`m sure I`ll need this to transport them back and forth for their health checks. The item appears to be very solidly built out of good materials.

I bought this product as an upgrade to our existing fabric cat carrier. I have to say it is such a nice carrier! It is well made with great quality and the design is very smart. How lovely!
This review is for the “Iris 530841.0 Pet Transport Box 12 kg, Black” version of the product. Alternate model number is FC-550 as per the box and manual.
I have previously had a cheaper cat box that started to fall apart so I was in a need of a replacement. A lightning deal later I have bought the Iris 12 kg / Small pet box (black) as a replacement. These are my observations:
* Very sturdy construction – it might be a bit on the heavy side, but it is relatively big (even the small one) and very well made. Much better than taking the chance for the box to break and run after your pet outside.
* When not in use the Iris box can be folded so it doesn’t take as much space. This reduces its height around 2.5 times. Definitely worth it.
* Size when unfolded: 31.5cm wide x 55cm long x 36.4cm tall.
* Size when folded: 31.5cm x 54.4cm x 14.5cm.
* Folding mechanism is really well taught, as well as the opening mechanism. However the pet entrance door is only from one side, but you can still use the folding door mechanism on the other side, but it will make it more difficult to close it when the pet is inside, especially if your best friend is a bigger one.
* Sizing – for a cat, unless a giant one go for the small 12kg box as well as for small dogs. For medium dogs go with the big case, but check the size of that one before buying. As per the manual the big box unfolded dimensions are – 40.3 x 68.6 x 47.8 cm (20 kg max).
I have already had the chance to use the box a few times and I have absolutely no complaints beside that I would have liked a version that is just a touch smaller than the 12 kg Iris. Otherwise I believe that it is great choice, i really like the folding mechanism and the sturdy construction and hope that it will last.
