Sherpa PET CARRIER BLACK

Bought this carrier as planning on flying with my Jack Russell next month. It seems pretty sturdy and has a warm, comfy flooring which I really like. It also feels sturdy when I am walking with the strap on my shoulder which was something I was worried about.

I have searched long and hard for a pet carrier with a base solid enough to hold the weight of a larger cat and this fits the bill perfectly. It also has a shoulder strap which is a great help when transporting a larger animal and has a pouch for paperwork; it's helpful to have that as it's now one less thing to carry in an additional bag.

It took a while because it had to come through customs, but it arrived in great shape and it is a sturdy, well made carrier for cabin pet travel. It may cost more than some of the other carriers around, but it is by far the best if you intend to use it for air travel. It's approved by Delta and that is what mattered to me most. The owner of the shop is great too! She was very accommodating, understanding and clearly customer-focused. I would easily recommend this product and seller and I would purchase from them again if the need arises.

Did the job very well. Happy with my purchase.

Brought my cat on a 15 hour flight in this bag. She's pretty tame, so I let her stick her head out of the bag throughout the transit (love the many zippers). She seemed pretty comfortable on the wool-lined floor and there was plenty of room for her to move about. Kinda wished there was some way to slot in food / water containers that wouldn't tip over during transit (she knocked over her tiny bowl of water twice).

Transports my cats comfortably, easy to clean/carry option of viewing window is great (one cat likes them open, other one needs them closed). Great buy, will purchase another when I can, then they get one each.

Great bag very handy to fly or take a train with your pet. I have a baby pug (4 month) and he has enough room into the medium size I've purchased. And he loves it

perfect for taking our chihuahua on board the plane 👍

Super fijne reistas en stevig materiaal.

Perfect to travel with if you do not have a very big cat or dog. I love that I get attach it over my luggage, it fits perfeclty under the seat in front of me and it has enough ventilation. Easy to fold when empty and easy to wash.

作りも申し分ないし、非常に高級感あります。ソフトキャリーなのにハードのような安心感。 １箇所に非常に頑丈な枠がついており、上部が全くたわみません。 機内持ち込み用に購入しましたが、今回の航空会社(デルタではない)にはキャリーに高さ規定があり、少したわめて「サイズ内ですよー」というつもりでしたが浅はかでした。 高さ規定さえクリアしていればこちらを使用したかったです。

I bought this pet carrier to replace one of lesser quality that I'd used for five years. This carrier is excellent -- stylish, really well made, and spacious enough for a large cat or a small dog. I divide my time between Canada and the US, for months at a time, and my medium-sized cat travels with me. She loves the mesh windows (these include flaps that can close her off from the world when things get too chaotic or loud -- especially useful in airports!) and has lots of room to turn around. There are also two points of zippered entry -- from the top and the end of the carrier -- that make it easy to get the cat into and out of the carrier. The carrier fits snugly under the seat in front of you, but does not impact kitty's space that is ensured by the solid frame. Every time I travel there's always someone who asks where I bought this carrier. So I tell them - Amazon!

This product was a "life-saver" for my wife and I as we recently traveled via Delta and needed to bring our small dog along. I've never done that before so I did not know where to start. In doing research I found the Sherpa Delta Pet Carriers and looked into them. This product which we bought fit the bill both in terms of cost, sizing and quality. And it was Delta approved! As I noted above we flew on Delta and had four flights. The bag easily went under the front seat in a 737 for all four flights. It also was very easy to carry slung over one of our shoulders as we made our way through the airport. It has adequate ventilation and fit our 9 pound or so dog fine. She seemed to be fine in it but I will speak to that a little later. If you are going to fly with your pet, this is what I recommend: 1. Call your airline and confirm their restrictions/limitations on pets and carrier sizes. Do NOT skip this step!!! Make sure to do this for the specific flights you are looking at (or already booked) because the size of the aircraft does matter as to what carrier will fit or not. When you cal the airline make sure you have the dimensions of the carrier and provide that to the agent. 2. Ideally before you book your flight make sure that it has "room" to accept pets in the cabin. I found, at least with Delta, is that they only allow a certain number of pets on-board any given flight (I believe it is four but don't quote me - confirm with the airline). If there is no room then you are out of luck. Better to find this out before you book than after. 3. You may have confirmed before you booked, but you must make a pet reservation after you book your flights. I'll tell you I was so scared when I called to do this as I did not know I even had to make a pet reservation. Thankfully, and this SAVED me, the Sherpa carrier included a sheet with instructions on flying with your pet and recommended making a pet reservation with the airline. If this tip had not been included, I think I would have been sunk as I would not have done this. 4. Condition your pet (dog or cat) to the carrier BEFORE you fly! I think you should start this weeks before to see how they adjust and acclimate to the carrier. I imagine some pets will be fine, but others, like our dog, will want to get out as soon as possible! She just does not like to be "contained." What we found though is that we could appease here by passing treats through the zipper on the top of the carrier. And once the flight got going it was a blessing but she settled down. Maybe the movement or noise of the engines; I'm not sure but she did fine. 5. Be ready to pay a fee to fly with your beloved pet. It is financially painful but something that they all require. 6. We made sure our dog's vaccines were up to date and got a certificate from the vet for her to fly. We never had to show this to the airline agent and it appeared to not be required so you may not have to do this if they are in the cabin (you do if they are in cargo). Depends on how paranoid you are but this is an option if you want to have that "just in case." 7. We did not have to remove our pet at security as some said they had to. I guess it depends on the agent or air carrier. One, one more "tip" is if you have a pet that is hyper or does not travel well is to speak to your vet about Dramamine for dogs (I'm sure for cats also). We did not have to use it for this dog but have for another dog we have to for car sickness. It takes the edge off the dog and helps it to settle down. I'm not for giving dogs medicine if they don't need it but I think to help the dog with anxiety it is well worth it and safe. And it will make your flight a lot more enjoyable as you don't want to be "that" person who everyone on the plane is whispering about :) Happy travels!
