Great for our small dog!
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!

Our cat was not happy about being in a cat duffel bag but it traveled well trans-Pacific
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!)

Very very expensive but I’m hoping that it will be worth it if ever needed. Want to get another one but can’t justify the cost.So far so good, no issues with it. Quite sturdy and robust.

I bought this carrier to travel with my cat. I’ve had it for six months and it’s still in perfect shape. Even after my cat has thrown tantrums and tried really hard to get out. We’ve travelled on planes, buses, cars, shuttle vans to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Colombia and it’s holds up its shape wonderfully! Love it!PROS:The bottom “bed” can be removed to be washed it.The wheels slide well and make it easy to roll it everywhere.The top pocket is handy for toys, snacks and the cat’s travel documents.The shoulder strap/pull handle is adjustable and works great for pulling the carrier.The sides can be rolled up and attached with velcro so that cat can see outside.Has zippers everywhere so it’s easy to let the cat in or out.CONSNone

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.

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.
