Expandable Pet Carrier - Platinum Gray

The Mr. Peanut's Gold Series Double Sided Expandable model offers a premium design and style, combined with upgraded materials throughout. This includes premium brand self-locking zippers, faux leatherette piping, and an extra plush removable faux fleece pad supported by a 1/4" plywood base.

When customers ask about the differences, it's an opportunity to highlight the key features that set this pet carrier apart. The quality of the zippers is crucial, as a broken zipper can render a carrier useless. Mr. Peanut's totes are designed with only premium brand zippers, including the self-locking variety that cannot be opened from the inside - a much safer option than the older, unreliable clasps.

The carrier's structure is also important. Soft-sided carriers are typically only supported by thin steel wire, which can lead to a sagging, wrinkled appearance. However, Mr. Peanut's totes are made with a strong, waterproof nylon material used in military-grade parachutes, providing additional structure and stability.

Lastly, and most importantly, are the safety and comfort features. The carrier should have locking zippers, strong mesh, a leash tether to secure the pet during travel, well-designed carrying straps, and a comfortable bedding pad. Mr. Peanut's totes include all of these, plus a thick, plush faux fleece pad with a 1/4" plywood base for added support and stability.

Mr. Peanut's is a USA-based, family-run business in Henderson, Nevada, and a proud sponsor of the Pay a Shelter Pet Forward program. The company is constantly updating and improving its tote series, with each generation featuring enhanced features and quality. All totes are hand-sewn to the owner's specifications by contracted factories.

While many brands may copy the design, none can match the quality features of Mr. Peanut's carriers. These include premium self-locking zippers, two-sided expandable folding bays, and a recommended weight capacity of up to 16 lbs. The exterior dimensions of 18" length x 10.5" width x 11" height make this carrier airline-capable, fitting pets up to 17" in length and 10" in height.

Mr. Peanut's totes are lightweight at just 4.15 lbs, and feature an open-air top, breathable mesh windows, and a zippered pocket for storing treats, medications, and other essentials. The padded shoulder strap and hand carry handle, as well as the removable faux fleece bedding and 1/4" plywood base, provide comfort and support for both the pet and the owner.

The company always recommends measuring your pet while comfortably laying down, as airline-capable carriers are designed for pets to lie down, not stand. The smaller Mr. Peanut's models, such as the Gold Series Mini and Rhodium Series Mini, are best suited for small cats and toy breeds, while the standard-sized models fit medium-sized pets. The larger Gold Series Big Apple model accommodates pets up to 20" in length.

Backpack-style carriers are also available, providing an alternative option for taller pets or users who prefer to keep their hands free in busy airports. The smaller backpack models fit smaller cats and toy breeds, while the larger models are suitable for medium to large cats and small to medium dog breeds.

For even larger pets where airline capability is not needed, Mr. Peanut's offers the Coronado XL Series and the Portable Pet Crate, providing more height and space than airline-approved carriers.

Mr. Peanut's mission is to provide pets with only the best quality, safe, ethical, and ecologically produced products. The company is constantly improving its tote series, with each generation featuring enhanced features and quality. All totes are hand-sewn to the owner's specifications by contracted factories.

As a USA-based, family-owned business and a proud supporter of the Pay a Shelter Pet Forward program, Mr. Peanut's donates a portion of its profits and products to animal welfare organizations, shelters, and rescues. The company also offers a satisfaction guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects, ensuring the highest quality and customer satisfaction.
