Select the carrier size based on your pet’s measurements first and then by your pet’s weight, making sure not to exceed the maximum weight limits. Also allow enough space for your pet to change positions while inside the carrier. Note: the carrier is designed for pets lying down, so your pet may not be able to stand.

How to Measure Your Pet:
For pet’s length, start at the nape of the neck (where the collar falls) and measure to the base of the tail. For height, measure from the floor to the top of the shoulder.

Customers have mixed opinions about the zippers of the animal carrier. Some find them reliable, sturdy, and locking for safety. They appreciate the top and side zip openings that make peering out pretty easy. However, some customers report that the zipper was broken, terrible, and split open while their cat was inside. They also say that the price of the carrier makes the zipper run more smoothly.

"...One more thing. The two zippers on top are independent, and I wanted them to pull together, so I drilled holes in the zipper pulls..." Read more

"...Another nice feature is that the front unzips. I leave it open like that during the flight so my dogs can really stretch out and its just more open...." Read more

50 customers mention9 positive41 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the animal carrier. They mention that it tips over easily, has a tendency to flip over, and falls on its side. Some say that the wheels are tiny and the bag falls over with each turn.

"...If one is shorter than 5'5", the bag will touch the floor...." Read more

"...in all, this is a great bag with just a few minor compromises: Tendency to roll over if pet is on one side; bag material drags in back when pulling..." Read more

My 3 cats made it 3000 miles in comfort with Sherpa!

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2014

Color: BlackSize: MediumVerified Purchase

I bought 3 of these for my 3 cats for my big cross country move from New Jersey to California. They had to spend ALOT of time in them and all 3 cats did great. They are extremely well made. And the wheels were a God Send. I have 1 siamese who is 9 lbs. And had plenty of room. He loves it! And even packed it with his toys! My Maine Coone who is 13 lbs fit fine and did great. She was comfy and no complaints. My buddah belly American Short hair is a chunk at 16lbs. He fit fine, but definitely was a tighter fit than the others. Thank God this thing had wheels. The airport at LAX is a BIG one and it is a looooong way to the baggage claim. The wheels and padded handle were great and we ended up pulling two on the ground and I was able to carry one on my shoulder. They are well ventilated and padded and I loved that it has pockets and multiple types of openings. Lots of ventilation and fit under the seats on Virgin Airlines easily. I had to push the sides down a little bit, but it fit with some maneuvering. I had to buy 3 seats on Virgin so each cat had a spot.

One note, going through security with a cat! TSA requires you to take the cat out of the carrier and carry it through the metal detector, then step into a chamber with a door where they test you for explosives by swabbing your hands with a cloth. I had to go through 3 times with 3 cats! There are multiple ways to open the carriers and that was a God send. Because there is a lot of chaos in security and people waiting and a scared cat and conveyer belts etc etc. A real recipe for disaster. These carries having both a top and side openings made getting them out and more importantly getting them back in go very quickly and the cats were very happy to jump back into their Sherpa!

I bought these a month before traveling and left them around the house open. The cats claimed them quickly and played, napped and ate treats in them for a long time before having to travel. They were totally at home in them for travel day. Also I opted not to give them tranquilizers. My cat lady friend said give them a pinch of cat nip in the carrier once you are on the plane and settled. That makes them a bit high and they fall asleep the natural way. Sedatives can make them lose control of their bowels etc and things can be quite unpleasant! (Just a word to the wise!)

I flew on Virgin Air and they are a pet friendly airline. They do not allow any animals in the belly of the plane. They only allow them in the cabin and there is no limit per flight. They were terrific and these fit under their seats just fine. A big thumbs up for them!
Sherpa is your best bet and worth every penny!

I have been searching for the perfect bag and I finally found it

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2015

Color: BlackSize: LargeVerified Purchase

This review is for the LARGE SHERPA BAG ON WHEELS. My husband and I have flown on United with our two ten pound Maltipoo's for years. I often fly with both of them alone. I have been searching for the perfect bag and I finally found it! I LOVE this bag!!! I needed one that would comfortably accommodate both dogs, one that was on wheels so I didn't kill my shoulder while carrying them thru airports and most importantly one that fit underneath the seats. I ordered four different bags to try and this one fit the bill!

The design is sturdy yet flexible enough so you can push, bend and sometimes crush the frame so it fits under the seat. The frame bounced right back into shape after the flight. It was also really convenient because it fit perfectly in the aisle so I could pull them behind me when i was getting on and off the plane.

As I mentioned, I flew United with this bag. It fit with no problem in both Economy Plus (extra 5-6 inches of leg room) and First Class. Another nice feature is that the front unzips. I leave it open like that during the flight so my dogs can really stretch out and its just more open. I also leave the top unzipped and open while inflight. I should note I tried the aisle seat and the window and its fits best in window seats where there is more floor space. I also flew a small 30 person commuter plane with this and that was a really tight fit. In fact, it would not fit under those seats but neither did my other bags. Luckily the seat beside was empty so I sat the bag on the floor space of the empty seat. In my experience, the flight attendants are much more lenient on those small flights so its never really an issue.

Overall, great bag, great quality, great price. My dogs were very comfortable in it.

I love this carrier, but have a few useful suggestions

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I would have given it a 5, because the quality it great, and so are the wheels and pull/shoulder handle. However, there were a few negatives, that I needed to correct. Because I can sew, I was able to remedy them, or I would not have been happy. The carrying handles are too long. If one is shorter than 5'5", the bag will touch the floor. If you want to pick the bag up, like a shopping bag, the handles need to be closer to the carrier's thighs or knees to make it easier on your back. I shortened the handles by about 8", but 10" would have been better. Also, this carrier has a padded top door. Because I have another carrier that doesn't have wheels, I had the example of that one. It has a mesh screen in the top flap, so the dog can look up at me for reassurance as well as extra ventilation. I put screen in, by cutting a hole in the flap, leaving a 1.5" border to sew the screen to. One more thing. The two zippers on top are independent, and I wanted them to pull together, so I drilled holes in the zipper pulls (never saw a zipper pull without holes). You can attach a shoestring or something similar to the two holes, and pull both zippers at the same time. You then have a free hand for the dog if your dog doesn't really want to lay down and you don't want to snag it's fur. These are all minor, but make it a perfect carrier on wheels. I use it at airport terminals and malls most of the time.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2016

Color: BlackSize: MediumVerified Purchase

I bought this to take my card onboard airfrance and it fitted nicely under the front passenger seat in height in length I had to put my feet either side of the bag but not a problem. It was really good to be able to wheel my cat rather than carry her in the long corridors in Manchester airport and CDG in France. However, if my cat decided to lean one side of the bag it would make the bag tumble on one side, after a while I got the hang of it by gently pushing my cat back centrally so I could wheel her along. I was very happy with it and would recommend it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2015

Color: BlackSize: LargeVerified Purchase

Cannot rate this pet carrier highly enough. My pet is 7KG and she fit really nicely into it and didn't freak out at all when she was in it (as opposed to the typical cages I've had for her before). Strap is sturdy and you can easily walk with it over the shoulder with minimum disruption to the pet.

The mesh is great, but if you have a panicked animal or it's raining then the waterproof screens are a great addition. Also has wheels but don't need to use them.

Very sturdy product for the price and would definitely recommend.

Quality carrier but inflexible ends

Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2017

Color: BlackSize: LargeVerified Purchase

Very good quality carrier but the wire reinforced end panels are inflexible so you can't easily squeeze into a smaller space when necessary. (under an airline seat)... Some new airplanes 737's have the life vest under the seat in front of you - can't get it under the seat enough to satisfy flight attendants safety concerns...
