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.
How Do I Know What Size Carrier Is Best For My Pet?
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.
How Do I Fold My Carrier When Not In Use?
- Remove the faux lambskin liner from the stability board
- Detach the stability board from the carrier by pulling up the Velcro tabs on either end
- Secure the faux lambskin liner back onto the stability board and move to the top of the carrier so the liner and board are beneath the U-shaped opening
- Fold either end of the carrier down and underneath the liner and board
- Store in a clean, dry place for future use
Does My Sherpa Carrier Push Down?
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.
What Does Airline Approved Mean?
Airline Approved means that a carrier:
- Provides adequate ventilation
- Is leak-proof
- Safely encloses the pet
What Does Guaranteed On Board Mean?
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.
Why Is My Airline Not Listed On The Guaranteed On Board Site?
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.
My Carrier Is Larger Than What The Airline Specifies As Being Permitted In-Cabin. Will It Be Allowed On Board?
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.
I Cannot Find My Style / Size Carrier On The Drop-Down Menu On The Gob Form. Is It Allowed On Board My Airline?
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.
Safe, Comfortable Travels With Your Pet
Whether you're traveling by plane, train or car on a fun trip, or just heading out to the vet, SHERPA carriers are sure to keep your pet safe, secure and comfortable. They come in a variety of different colors and styles to accommodate small dogs and cats, and they all have convenient features to make traveling with your pet stress-free.
Guaranteed On-Board Program
You can fly with confidence knowing that there's an actual guarantee for your pet's carrier to be allowed on board when flying with your pet. This program was designed to meet most major airlines' specific rules and regulations, so you don't have to worry about your carrier being refused while getting on the plane. All small and medium SHERPA carriers are a part of this program. Simply go to the Guaranteed On-Board website, find your airline, print the Guaranteed On-Board form, make sure you have your pet's health certificates, and get ready for takeoff!
Comfortable and Airline Approved
These comfortable carriers have received the stamp of approval and fulfill all the essential requirements of most major airlines. SHERPA carriers provide plenty of ventilation by allowing fresh air to flow through the mesh panels, so the space is comfy for your pet. The carriers feature leakproof bottoms in case of accidents and zippers that safely enclose your pet. SHERPA carriers can also adjust slightly to meet the under-seat dimensions that airlines require.
Conveniently Designed With Minimal Maintenance
With SHERPA carriers, you can travel in style, and most importantly, provide a safe place for your pet during your travels. Most are made with a spring wire frame that makes them able to fit under airline seats while keeping their form. SHERPA takes safety to a whole new level with locking zippers that can't be opened from the inside in many of the carriers to keep your pet secure while traveling from one destination to another. Seat belt straps are included in most models, and because they can also be used as luggage straps, you can have one carrier for all occasions. For low-key maintenance and care, SHERPA liners are machine washable.

Great Carry-on for my Maltese
By josie on Nov 22, 2021
This is a well-made bag and though I have not used it on an airline, yet, I feel very confident it will support my 7 + pound 10 month old Maltese.

Kitty caretrier
By Autumspenelope on Sep 18, 2021
I bought for my granddaughter in Colorado for her new kitty. She will use it when she comes home to Michigan at thanksgiving so we are hoping it will be perfect for her and her furry friend. She’s been letting her kitty go in and out of it so she will be use to it when it’s time to travel. She flys Delta all the time.

Timmy's safe travels
By janiandkids on Sep 14, 2021
Our pup Timmy is very anxious when traveling and won't sit in his car seat with his brother so we opted to get a carrier for him. He feels secure and comfortable in this carrier and travels so much better to the vet, groomer etc. The carrier is fully lined with a soft pad.

Easy to use, easy to clean
By Valerie on Oct 4, 2021
Had to use one to transport my cat on an airplane, worked wonders when paired with a calming spray. The mat can be cleaned in a washing machine, while the bag itself can be hosed down. Sun dries it nicely.

Sherpa Carrier Bag (Delta Airline approved)
By CamperCarol on Aug 27, 2021
I was really happy with my purchase of the Sherpa Carrier Bag. The one drawback is the double zipper on top. When I put my cat in the carrier I had to hold him down and try and use one hand to zip the top closed. My cat was very comfortable in the carrier and did not try to get out and she was in there for 3 hours as I drove up to camp. I would recommend this carrier for pets under 15 pounds.

pET CARRIER
By SANDIATK on Aug 3, 2021
I was informed by my vet to purchase one of these for my cat. She's very comfortable in it and they can give her a shot without taking her out...just unzip the top. It's easy to cary too.
