Can this carrier be zipped up so that the pet can stick the head out of the top of the bag? While I carry it?

The sides unzip and clip back. There is a small (approx 3") leash on the top center of the inside that you can clip to your dog's collar. This is the best travel carrier I have ever used. Pricey; but, worth the money.

Technically yes. There's two zippers you could part open enough at top for a little furry face to come out. Trickier with a cat, cuz they want to work their little paw in the opening to escape if you're not monitoring. A sized zip tie could fix that problem. Depends on the type of escape artist you have. I have a cat and I part it open enough for his face to come out and be petted discreetly. (on the plane)

Jennifer, I checked my bag and the zipper does not separate from itself at the terminal end. So I believe it cannot be zipped to another bag.

Yes, you can. It depends how your dog walks or pulls. Sometimes the backpack will slide but make sure it is on firmly.

I have to put my dog in from lifting her and put her butt first. The mesh does unzip that how you put the dog in. I don't know about poking her head out. From the pad that they lay on its about 8 inch or more deep. I guess you could put a pillow in there for your dog. That might work!

Yes, and my dog hates it. She's a small dog and hates the fact that her head can't pop out so she doesn't feel closed in. Also the bag is big, with no pockets to Carry any personal items. Sorry to say but it's not worth buying.

Yes, the zipper will close the opening completely. It really is a neat thing to have. I have a 4 pound Yorkie and when I use the bag, it looks like a large purse. Most people do not know that I have a dog inside. I love it.

No, it only loads through the front gate. It is made for a larger animal, that wouldn't be easily picked up and put in the top of a carrier.

As you can see from the picture, the top unzips, however, if you leave it open, your dog may try to escape--depending on your dog's size and temperament.

Yes, the top zips shut as do the doors. However, I have 2 miniature schnauzer pups and somehow they have managed to get out without damaging the door! I guess they are little Houdinis who figured out how to unzip!! I even tried fastening the door zippers together with a twist tie and they still got out!! Tried video-ing them to see if I could catch them in the act but they did not cooperate!! Two little dickens!!!

No, only one end and the top of the carrier zip open but I can tell you I will not travel without them. I have 2 and trips are much less stressful and my dogs are very happy and secure in their carriers.

There are instructions in the carrier that state yes. I have not tried it myself. It is a very nice carrier though especially for the price. I have a miniature daushound and he's very comfortable in it. Hope that helps.

My dachshund sticks her head out but I have covered her head with a scarf or light jacket/sweater. When I take her to places where dogs are really not allowed I use a carrier that completely closes and has a mesh siding.

Yes, but the bag is rather small so I don't know if there would be room for an animal inside if the top were squashed down.

There is a "mesh" window that zips closed. This allows your pet to move freely inside the "basket" but does not allow them to jump out. But there is no "tie-down". The Tie-Down could become a choke hazzard.

Not sure. I think so. But, the front mesh zips closed so the dog can't get out . It's pretty thick and durable mesh.

There are 2 zipper closures on each end of the bag which are held together using side-release buckles, similar to the buckles for the seatbelt attachment, only smaller. If you look at the product images, you'll see them but they aren't clicked in place. I use the carrier for my dog and he can scratch at the zippers all he wants but he can't get them to open. Take note, though, that there is only one closure for the small zipper on the top of the bag (where you can stick your hand in to reassure your pet without opening the bag) and if your cat is smart enough he can scratch at that and open the zipper. The cat can escape if he's small enough to fit that hole. (I measured the hole -- it's 6 inches long but it can open up approximately 4 inches wide.)

If your pet fits entirely inside, and cooperate, yes. This bag is really big, and looks like an over-sized purse/hobo bag. It doesn't scream "dog" on the outside and when I had my two guys inside, even the veterinarian was surprised when I talked to them and their heads popped out (barely, they had to stretch a bit).
