A couple of years ago we reviewed the Pet Magasin Pet Travel Carrier. (How time flies.) Back then, the cat we purchased the carrier for was a kitten. We rated the Magasin highly, citing its build quality and versality - that it could be used as both a backpack and as a “regular" pet carrier, was a strong selling point.
Flash forward 2 years. Quinn is now a full grown 12 pound cat. In that time we’ve certainly put the Magasin through its paces. From simple “visits to the vet,” to beachside hikes to exploring around town, the Magasin has enabled us to take Quinn everywhere. Even at his current adult size, the Magasin is still roomy enough for him to move around as he pleases, and two years later he’s completely adjusted to going out frequently.
From local hikes….
to exploring around town, thanks to the Magasin Quinn has explored new areas we never thought possible.
Despite our heavy use of the Magasin it has held up very well - a testament to its exceptional build quality. There are no tears in any of the window and pocket webbings, the zippers all work fine, and the main body of the bag itself is completely intact. This is one very well constructed bag.
Partly because we introduced it to him very early in his life, Quinn grew to be fond of the Magasin - he considers it a “safe spot” when he’s seeking comfort and safety, and sometimes he jumps into it when we take it out to prepare for an outing. This makes it extremely easy to place him in it for outings - something that would undoubtedly make many pet owners that struggle with sticking their cat into a hard carrier to take to the vet envious.
Quinn’s Magasin is one of his safe spaces.
Two years later we hold the Magasin in even better regard than we did initially. It has held up extremely well and it has opened up the opportunity to expose our cat to a world we never thought possible, in a safe and secure manner.
