Abstract: A pet carrier includes a lateral support panel sized and shaped to fit beneath an abdomen of a pet. The lateral panel has a pair of foreleg openings and a pair of back leg openings sized and disposed to permit entry of the forelegs and back legs of the pet. A front support panel extends forewardly from the lateral panel adjacent the foreleg openings. A rear support panel extends rearwardly from the lateral panel adjacent the back leg openings. Side support panels are located along the sides of the lateral panel. A carrying strap is attached to the pet carrier that includes an adjustable front strap and at least one rear strap. The rear strap is attached at opposite rear corners of the carrier and loops around the front strap to provide for carrying comfort. A storage pocket is provided on the lateral panel for storage of the folded carrier.
