Henkelion Soft Pet Carrier Review: Up to 15 lb
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details
A soft-sided carrier is a reasonable choice for a small dog on a short trip, but the listing’s size and weight figures decide whether your dog fits. The Henkelion soft pet carrier is a grey polyester bag, 17 by 11 by 11 inches, with a zipper closure, mesh panels and a 15 pound limit. This review uses the listing’s specs and the warnings it gives about choosing by weight.
Quick answer
The Henkelion carrier is a collapsible polyester bag for a small pet of up to 15 pounds, with zippered mesh sides, a shoulder strap and two loop handles that can hook onto a seat belt or luggage. The listing says it is airline approved. Check your airline’s rules before you fly, and measure your dog’s length and height rather than relying on the weight limit alone.
Who this carrier suits
It suits a small dog or cat of up to 15 pounds on a car trip or a short stay, where a soft bag is easier to carry than a hard crate. It is less suited to a dog that cannot stand up or turn around inside a 17 by 11 by 11 inch space, and to a larger dog that the listing’s weight limit excludes. For other car travel gear, see dog car seat covers and a blanket for the back seat of a car.

Measure your pet, not just the weight
The listing says it is for pets of up to 15 pounds, but it also says not to choose only by weight. Measure your pet’s length from nose to base of tail, and its height from the floor to the top of its head when sitting. Compare the length and height with the inside of the bag. A pet that cannot turn around in the carrier will be uncomfortable on a long trip.
Airline rules
The listing says the carrier is airline approved, but airlines set their own size and weight rules for under-seat carriers. Check your airline’s rules before you buy and before you fly, and ask whether a soft carrier of this size fits the under-seat space on your flight.
Frequently asked questions
Is it airline approved?
The listing says it is, but airlines decide their own rules. Check with your airline before you fly.
What is the weight limit?
The listing says 15 pounds. It also says to check your pet’s length and height.
Can I use it in a car?
The listing says it works with a car. The loop handles can be used as a seat belt or luggage strap, according to the bullets. A carrier is not the same as a crash-tested restraint, and the listing does not say the bag is crash tested.
Is it waterproof?
The listing title says waterproof. The bullets describe polyester and mesh panels, but they do not say how the bag handles rain or spills, so check the fabric yourself.
Bottom line
The Henkelion carrier is a light, collapsible bag for a small pet of up to 15 pounds. Measure your pet first, check your airline’s rules, and treat the crash-test and waterproof questions as open until you check them.
