When you’re going to a pickleball tournament, you’ve got to make sure you’ve got everything you need to play well and turn heads. Pickleball paddle? Check. Pickleballs? Check. Zed in his new LeftPine x P.L.A.Y. Deluxe Dog Carrier? Check.
Okay, so I wasn’t playing in the tournament, but I did want to show off the LeftPine x P.L.A.Y. Deluxe Dog Carrier… and Zed, of course. Any excuse, am I right?
Here’s the down low: Designed with comfort and convenience in mind, this carrier features a cozy, lightweight plush interior that provides your dog with a snug, secure space during travel. The durable vegan leather exterior not only offers protection but also adds a touch of style. A handy exterior pocket ensures your pet’s treats, toys and supplies are always within easy reach, making every journey hassle-free.

The Verdict
OMG, so many compliments! Everyone who commented on the carrier asked me where I got it. But it’s not all about the looks — it’s about comfort, for both Zed and myself.
What I like most about this carrier is the firm bottom. It’s nice to know that when I put this down on a flat surface, such as the ground or a table, it’s not going to tip over, even if Zed is squirmy. Another plus is that fur doesn’t stick to the surface of the bag – I’m always covered in pet hair, so it’s great that at least one part of my ensemble is fur free.
I would absolutely recommend this bag to anyone who wants to carry their dog along with them. You can pick yours up on the P.L.A.Y. website for $79.
