How to Find the Best Fit: 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.
Please weigh and measure your pet carefully. The pet's length should be measured from the nape of the neck to the base of the tail. The pet's height should be measured when it is standing, from the floor to the shoulder. Please note, pets should have enough room to lie down comfortably but also stand up and turn around should they wish to change positions.
All Sherpa carriers are soft-sided and made with a patented spring wire frame in the rear of the bag. The spring wire frame allows the back end to be pushed down several inches to slide beneath the airline seat without restricting the pet's head room.
Airline Approved means that a carrier:
Guaranteed On Board is the only program that guarantees a Sherpa carrier meets an airline's specific rules and regulations and will be allowed on board. All small and medium Sherpa carriers are included in the GOB program. However, the medium size carrier is not Guaranteed On Board on ALL of the airlines included in the program.
Just because a particular airline is not included in the Guaranteed On Board program it does not mean your carrier will not be allowed on board, just that you will need to confirm directly with the airline. Please note, our carriers are soft-sided and made with a patented spring wire frame that allows the back end to be pushed down several inches to slide beneath the airline seat without restricting the pet's head room.
Please check with airline directly. Some airlines allow carriers that are larger than the dimensions they specify if the carrier is soft-sided and pushes down. All Sherpa carriers are made with a patented spring wire frame in the rear of the bag which allows the end to be pushed down several inches to conform to the under seat dimensions without restricting the pet's head room or compromising the structural integrity of the bag.
No. If the style / size carrier you have is not included in a particular airline's GOB page it is not Guaranteed On Board that particular airline because its dimensions exceed what the airline specifies as being allowed on board.

I bought this is hopes it would be a great carrier. It came folded and portable easy to set up but the plastic that holds it together was busted through both seams so it says in hits my cats head which makes it unconscious for them to be inside. Otherwise it’s cute and cute pillow padding inside but the plastic bars need to be stitched far better so it hold the carrier up in place to where the animal inside has room on every side where no top is touching them- I suppose I can buy sewing equipment and stitch it back in but I feel in Rome it’s only going to pop back through making another hole, making it not a stable
I had a Sherpa Element carrier that I really liked, but I needed to replace it because a piece broke. I couldn’t find the same one again but thought this looked similar. This is ok but looks smaller even though they both say they fit a pet up to 16 pounds. My cat weighs 11 pounds, and this looks small for him. I also preferred the more structured body of my last carrier:
This carrier is supposed to supplier a dog 17lbs and under. It should say 10lbs and under 5 inches tall. My Pom is 15lbs and it was sad to try to even fit him in this. Once in it he couldn’t move, couldn’t stand or turn. This thing is for tea cup or small toy dogs.
I bought this carrier because it's airline approved and I knew it would make traveling that much easier. Cats don't like traveling as much as dogs so I liked the fact that it's not as wide open as some of the others. He got enough air but didn't have to see the outside world on all 4 sides. It's easy to carry with the long shoulder strap and the pocket was perfect for his paperwork and medicine. It fit under the seat just fine. I would definitely recommend this product. Well made, no issues
My little rosie absolutely loves this it is also very convient for carrying around all her things!
We used this to bring our dog home from Colorado. Fit great under seat on American Airlines Flight. No issues with boarding. I have used this to transport dog in car since December, works great.
Ordering was easy and convenient and this item was even better than described! Fits my Chihuahua perfectly!
This bag is light and airy and a great bag for travel with your pup. My Mickey slept in it the whole time he was in it in my car
My carrier is brand new and this was the only one I saw. They did not list a large size as on other sites for the same product. My dog will outgrow it very soon and I will have to buy a larger size. I wish I knew that this was just a medium and a larger size is available. Maybe not on this website.
Just want to shout out to Chewy for getting me this incredible Pet Carrier so quickly. My puppy, Sadie, was very comfortable flying on the plane home by the comfort she felt in this wonderful product. This carrier made her feel safe and secure. The shoulder strap was comfortable and made it easy to carry her little 20 lb self.
