Canvas Style Carriers

Canvas carriers are the light, washable option: sturdier than mesh alone, softer than a hard-sided crate, and they pack flat when not in use. The styles here include shoulder totes, cross-body bags and backpack shapes, most with mesh ventilation panels, an interior safety tether and a removable pad you can throw in the wash. Canvas also shrugs off the marks a cream-colored carrier would show. If you plan to fly, check your airline's current under-seat measurements first.
