We bought this carrier for our first airplane trip with our 18 pound dog. I spent a lot of time reading the reviews on this carrier and many others and I hope this summary is helpful to those who have small dogs. Our dog weighs 18 pounds. He is not tiny but not big either. We were a bit worried whether he would fit in this carrier and others. We worried because the carriers seem to say that the dog has to be 16 pounds or less. This really doesn't matter; it seems more the length and girth of the dog that matters. Our dog was able to lay down comfortably in this carrier, although he didn't really want to do so. He preferred to keep his head out, as I'll explain below, and he was calm enough to do so. After much research on airline websites, and calling Delta, it came down to the fact that carriers are not supposed to be more than 11 inches in height. If you have soft carriers, like this one, it matters less because they can squeeze below that height under the seat in front of you. This one is 10.5 inches, so it fits fine. The design is good for letting his head to be out at the top, which was very important for us. The opening on one side could be zipped open on the plane, and he could spread out even easier inside the carrier. When the flight is in its cruising stage, there is no problem pulling the carrier out from under the chair so the dog can be more comfortable. That's when we opened the end somewhat and made it easier for him to lie down. The fact is that one neither leg did any stewardess ask us to push the carrier under the seat in front of us! So it really was moot to close it up and push him inside. We just left the top open part way all the time, and he kept his head stuck out of the top, so he could see us. He was very comfortable. This all assumes that your dog is quiet and calm enough to hand out of the carrier this way. This relates more to your dog's temperament than the carrier though! We did medicate our dog with our vet's advice, which helped of course. It was very easy to carry, was well made, and was not too small for our dog (who is large for a small dog), but also not too large for the airline requirements. Hint: our dog was much calmer when we carried him in this carrier slung over the shoulder, so he was not flat on the ground. When we put him on the ground, he seemed more nervous and wanted to come out. But it is easy to carry on the shoulder, and very stable with its shoulder strap. So in summary: If your dog is reasonably calm and/or is medicated, and is 20 pounds or less, you should be able to travel easily with this carrier.

Summary: • United Airlines Approved 👍 • My dog is 9lbs, 11inches long, 14.5inches tall standing up (bottom of her paw to the top of her head) • Travel time is always 4-6 hours DC↔️LAX Story / Why I chose it I’ve been hunting for the perfect in-cabin dog carrier for years (I think I’ve tried around 7 carriers before finding this gem) I wanted something that’s roomy, breathable, and calming for a dog that gets anxious when she can see too much and this one actually checked nearly all those boxes. Fit & Comfort My dog is ~8.5–9 lbs with an 11-inch back and 14.5inches tall standing up (bottom of her paw to the top of her head) . She can turn around inside, stretch a bit, and lie down comfortably (I mean as much as possible considering she’s in a bag still.) Breathability & Safety There are enough vents for airflow so I never worry about her overheating or suffocation. But the design doesn’t expose her too much she can’t see me fully and try to paw or escape, so she stays calmer. Privacy & Anxiety Because the carrier isn’t fully transparent, she doesn’t have visual overload or stress. She tends to settle down and even sleep during travel, which used to be a huge concern for me. Build & Travel Use • Feels sturdy but flexible (so I can slide it under seats) • Zippers, seams, handles all seem durable • Space under the airline seat fits well, and I don’t struggle with bulk • Easy to assemble • Definitely a good value for the money • Lightweight and thick enough not flimsy Trade-Offs / Things to Watch • On very long trips, she hasn’t had hours of room to move — good for short to moderate flights • Because of the privacy design, you might not get full visibility of her at all times • If your dog is larger or restless, double-check size specs Final (Overall) Thoughts This is the most balanced in-cabin carrier I’ve come across — it respects my dog’s comfort, gives me peace of mind, and works reliably for travel. For any small, mildly anxious dog, this is a smart choice.

Our cat is more Onry than most, so halfway between Hawaii and the mainland he managed to break the board that offers the bottom support, mostly because he was scared and actively trying to destroy the bag from the inside out. He’s never flown on a plane before so he was pretty scared, most cats would not be able to break the board but he is a super strong cat. That was the only drawback to this cat carry case, which fit perfectly under the seat on Alaska airlines and had no trouble getting through security. A word of advice traveling TSA from Hawaii to the mainland they made me take the cat out of the bag at TSA and hold him to go through security, luckily he had his harness on and I had a leash in the cat carrier pocket so I was able to secure him in case he jumped out of my arms at security. There were a lot of jokes from bystanders about “letting the cat out of the bag“. 😂 In spite of his best efforts to destroy the bag from the inside out he was unsuccessful, this is a sturdy cat carry case that will stand up to the sharpest claws! We had a 5 1/2 hour flight from Hawaii to Seattle and another four hours from Seattle to New Mexico and by the second half of the trip he had settled down and seemed to enjoy his cat carrier. When we traveled by car after reaching our destination he went into the carrier without protest and rode quietly and calmly in the carrier. A word of advice on putting your cat in the carrier, if you hold him and fold his legs underneath him, and hold both his front legs with your hand as he put him in and zip it quickly, he doesn’t have time to scratch the heck out of you struggling to avoid going in the bag. When we had a two hour layover in Seattle I took him into a family bathroom in closed room, and let him out for a few moments to use his portable litter box and drink some water. He didn’t protest when I put him back in the carrier. He was not drugged with a kitty tranquilizer on the flight, and for the most part it was a smooth flight thanks to his cat carrier, I was very grateful that the carrier had just a quick glance from the ticket agent and was waived through as being approved. Our cat is a little larger than most, and he fit in this carrier just fine and was quite cozy. I didn’t have any trouble getting it under the seat in front of me, and the shoulder strap made it easy slung crosswise over my shoulder to carry him through the airports on layover. I was surprised that the carrier held up to his attempts to get out of the bag during landing, because of all the scary noises and fast dissent he was pretty scared and actively trying to destroy the bag from the inside out. The mesh held up just fine and so did all of the seams, and he was unsuccessful on trying to get the zippers open. I’ve attached a photo of him from our layover in Seattle when I let him out of the bag for a few moments in the family bathroom to stretch his legs. He’s just like, “What the heck mom??!” So if you have a very long plane trip coming up with your cat, I recommend this bag. Other than him breaking the board in the bottom, it held up to his claws and teeth for the entire trip and seemed to provide a safe cozy space where he eventually settled down and was calm. (I want to add that him breaking the board is not a huge drawback because this is the second cat carrier he has had and he also broke the board in the first one which was a different brand, he’s brutal!)

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!

It is a good and sturdy cat travel bag. Yet, I did not use it when I travelled with my kitten because I found a better bag, with expanding sides. Here is what I like about this bag: - Solid - Delta Airline approved for sure. - Seems comfortable - Has an entry from the top (zip) or from one side (zip) - 3 sides can be opened with a mesh window so the cat can see its surroundings. - Stands well - Has a pocket for travel documents or a pouch of food. - Although it is sturdy, it manages to remain very light. Here is what I like less: - Seems still a bit large to fit under an airplane sit. - Not opened enough for the cat to look around and feel not like in a trap. In conclusion: I still carry my cat in it when I am not going very far and I do not want the travel container to collapse. The other one I get has two sides that expand but it makes for a fairly flimsy structure. Yet my kitten love it better as she is constantly going in and out of it in my apartment. I gave her the choice to choose by leaving both accessible and the delta she is almost never using.

I used this carrier to fly both Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines when I moved my two italian greyhounds to Hawaiʻi, and it worked perfectly. The size fit exactly within the airline under-seat requirements, and I had zero issues at check-in or boarding. The carrier itself is sturdy, lightweight, and easy to carry through long airport terminals. I loved the ventilation on all sides, my dogs stayed comfortable and calm the entire trip. The zippers are strong, the bottom pad is soft, and the whole thing feels very secure. Even during the long flight to Hawaiʻi, my dogs settled right in and slept most of the way. I also really appreciated how easy it was to access them mid-flight for quick checks without disturbing them or unzipping the whole thing. Once we arrived, it was simple to clean and fold back up. Overall, if you’re traveling with pets, especially on Alaska or Hawaiian Airlines — this carrier is a lifesaver. Safe, airline-approved, comfortable for the pups, and stress-free for me. Highly recommend! 🌺✈️🐶

I have a cat who hates carriers. If he sees me with one, he runs and hides even though it's not for him. If I'm able to catch him before he sees it, it's still a fight to get him in and any blanket or padding inside just gets shoved aside. With this one, however, he didn't realize what it was until too late. I bought the deluxe version with the roll-up covers on the end to help him be more comfortable (he's a 'cave-dweller') and he didn't have an issue. I was able to pop him right in through the top and zip it up pronto before he could put up a fight. The fleece-padded removable bottom stayed in place even when he clung to it when getting him out. When we needed to get him back in for the trip home, he didn't put up a fight (still growled all the way, though). I have multiple cats and even though I don't live in an area that's subject to conditions requiring evacuation (from wildfires, tropical storms, flooding, things like that), and needing to get out in a hurry isn't an issue, every pet owner needs an emergency plan. Part of mine is to have a separate carrier for each cat but storage is a problem as is the initial cost and I can't imagine trying to put crates together in an emergency with hell breaking loose all around you. I would hate to lose a pet because she got away before I could contain her. This carrier folds down flat with just a push and a tucking-in of flaps so storage isn't an issue; neither is putting it together in a hurry: pull the top and presto- there you go. As far as size, Bob's a large cat and the small, cat-sized carriers just aren't big enough but the medium-size ones are too big and bulky to carry or to store. This one fits him perfectly; he has plenty of room to stand up, turn around, and lie back down without retreating to one end of it and unbalancing it and making it hard to carry. I do have two concerns, which really aren't all that big. First, when you pick it up by either the handles or the shoulder strap, the sides 'collapse' in a little- it's like picking up a duffel bag or a soft-sided piece of luggage. The underlying framework seems to be very supportive and the floor 'pad' helps it keep it's shape. Second, I don't know how they would hold up if multiple units, along with their occupants, were stacked on top of each other. But, I don't know how often that situation will arise. I think the ease of storage and the quick assembly, combined with it's relatively low cost, will more than make up for that for the individual pet owner (as opposed to a shelter). The deluxe 'Delta' carrier I purchased claims to be airplane-approved but I would check with the airline to be sure. All in all, I'll be adding more of these carriers until I have one for every cat. I should buy stock. Heartily recommend. Oh yeah, can you make the deluxe in purple?

This BRAND NEW one I just bought - the strap broke in the airport after only carrying it 10 minutes - not happy! My old one lasted for years without doing that. I had to rig it to make it work so I could complete my journey. Though my old one is FIVE stars, I would take off 2 stars for the strap on this new one. I hope the company will make it right. -- Update 3: I bought a new one (Original Deluxe) in black and lil Bear loves this one more than the original one. It has more mesh for air (not shown in these pics) but otherwise is very similar to the Delta Black one I had. He actually got in it and took a nap--I was surprised! Still a good buy for the money. Bear is about 15 pounds and is a long-haired chihuahua mix - stocky build - he JUST fits in it. I could go for a large but he is able to turn around, lie down comfortably, and walk in it just fine. I like this one even better than the first one. --------- Update 2: Travel. Lil Bear and I did great together with this Sherpa Carrier. I hauled him around the airport easier than I thought, though it killed my shoulders and back to lug around his carrier and my other carry on, but that's travel. We went through the security line with no problems at all. And, the carrier fit under the seat perfectly. Lil Bear lay quietly the entire time (but he is a well-behaved awesome calm dog). The medium just fit - I mean JUST fit. I considered whether I should have bought a large but then that would have been too big. So measure your dog and look at the dimensions of the carriers and go from there. ----------- Update: I just found the other pocket on the other side! So two pockets! This is a very well-made/constructed pet carrier that I bought for less than I thought I'd have to pay for such a nice carrier! The 'canvas' is made of quality material and the seams are firm and intact. There are handles so you can hold the carrier in your hands, or you can use the included strap to put it across your shoulder. There are two openings to the carrier: one on the front, and one on the top. The zippers are heavy-duty and well made. There are also air vents - one on the side, and one on each end that you can unvelcro the covering to provide that air vent. Inside on the "floor" of the carrier is a nice padding that will detach for laundering. On the side is a zippered pocket. That would be my only "negative" to this - I wish the pocket were a little bigger so I could fit a little more in it, but it would fit some treats and a regular leash. A bigger deeper pocket would be nice, but that's not a deal breaker at all. THE SIZE ISSUE: - Besides wanting the pocket to be a little bigger, finding the correct size can be a little confusing. I researched so many reviews before purchasing, and the sizes and poundage were all over the place for a medium carrier! Argh! I knew I didn't want a small, but deciding between a large and medium was daunting. I went with the medium and he fits, but it's close. It's why the 4 stars instead of five, though I'm still tempted to give it 5 stars, but maybe some videos and pictures from the manufacturer would help. If you are confused about finding the correct size, I can only tell you that my dog is a long-haired chihuahua but mixed with something else - he's about 14 pounds, and about 10 inches high or so--measuring him from feet to shoulder/back height, length about 19-20 inches from nose to back (not including tail of course!)--these are approximate as it's more difficult to measure a dog than I thought (laugh). He fits inside the carrier with enough room to turn around but it's close - he can stand but it's very close - he'll be lying down 99% of the time and he should feel secure and comfortable. I have no idea about under the seat issues, yet, because this will be my first time to fly with a pet. The large may have been too large where he is kind of shuffled around in there - I felt the medium gave him some security from being "knocked about." I don't know if this helps, but I do suggest ordering early enough that you can not only train your dog to be comfortable with the idea, but also to gauge the size. My dog is a chihuahua-something-I-don't-know mix, and is about 14 pounds. He's about 10 inches high. He fits in it just fine. I didn't want him to have so much room that he was "knocked about" as I carry him, but he has enough room to stand--but just enough to stand, and he can turn around in it. The small would have been way too small, and the large would be too large. But he fits closely and I'd not want it any smaller than this. Surprisingly, the weight when you carry him even if you use the shorter straps on your shoulder isn't bad at all. Some Tips for getting your dog used to the carrier: They include a little tag with some tips. I did my own thing, too. If your dog is not used to a carrier, some things you can do are: I did these things one or two times a day only: Make sure the carrier is associated with something good - way long before your trip is to come, you should start preparing your dog so he isn't scared of something new. I started early on by putting a treat inside the carrier and put the carrier by the side of his bed. I just let him go in and get it without me closing him up. I did this for several weeks, the only difference is that after a couple weeks of doing this, I gently nudged him in and closed the front "gate" but didn't zip it-I petted and praised him. Doing this a few times, whenever I'd pick up the carrier to bring it over to his bed even before I opened the treat can to put in the treat, he'd be excited, knowing he was going to get a treat. Then next stage I put the treat in there, but I closed him up. Did this a couple times, reaching my hand through the top part and petting and praising him. The next stage, I closed him up with the treat and carried him around my house, talking to him in a happy voice. This is the stage where I am now. By time my flight comes, he'll be very comfortable inside there. I'm also going to take him in the car and drive around with him in it. He's a calm well-behaved dog, so I don't expect any problems at all. If I have problems once I do take my trip, I'll be back to report that. I do highly recommend.
