About Sherpa Travel Pet Carriers

Sherpa Travel Pet Carriers

Sherpa Travel Carriers are airline-approved carriers that let your pet travel comfortably on the go, in the car or on walks. They are easy to use and durable enough to keep your pet safely contained and protected.

Fits Under Most Airline Seats

Sherpa Carriers with a built-in spring-wire frame allow you to push down the rear side of the carrier several inches. This helps them fit under most airline seats in compliance with airline requirements and FAA regulations. The flexible design makes the carrier in-cabin friendly and airline approved for most airlines.

Fly With Peace of Mind

Sherpa worked with major airlines to make a carrier that is Guaranteed On Board. Sherpa’s Guaranteed On Board program provides you the information you need for future travels with your pet and added assurance that your carrier will be allowed to fly.

Sherpa Makes Travel Easy

Sherpa Carriers feature mesh panels for ventilation, top and side entries, locking zippers for added safety and a seatbelt safety strap.

About Sherpa

In 1989, Sherpa introduced their first soft-sided carriers so pets could fly in-cabin. Today, they continue to innovate to make traveling secure and comfortable for every pet – every day and on every trip. Whether you’re going around the block, across town or on a flight around the world, Sherpa products will help you travel with peace of mind.

Very attractive bag. I love how you can place your cat in from the front or the top. Really wish the strap was longer. Its quite short so you end up carrying your cat right under your arm pit.

This bag was exactly what I needed EXCEPT for the poorly constructed zipper. The top opening has a flap of material on the underside of the zipper which is too long, causing the zipper to get stuck - not conducive to getting a cat quickly secured. Returning all three that I ordered and back to the drawing board.

Fantastic quality & comfort

I purchased this exact carrier from another well-known pet store when I adopted a cat last year, and I'm about to purchase it a second one from Chewy for the new kitten I just adopted. This carrier is absolutely beautiful. The bottom doesnt sag at all and the mesh is probably the highest quality I've ever seen. Both cats play in and around it (I keep it out so theyre not afraid of it), and frequently claw the mesh areas, and in the year since I've gotten it there is no sign of wear at all. That's almost impossible to believe! There is mesh on three sides, and the top and one longer side is solid to give kitty a sense of security. There is plenty of room to turn around, though since it's only a carrier and not a kennel, there really isn't any room to sit up. You can always unzip the top hatch just enough to let them poke their heads out, though, which works nicely. The straps are sturdy and comfortable, and the materials are good, thick, and durable. Sherpa did not stint at all on this bag. It's a little on the pricey side for me, but it's such a well-made bag I'll never have to buy another one. I would recommend this carrier to anyone who needs it for their smaller animal. My cats are both under 12 pounds. The only thing I could wish for is that it came in different colours (blue please!) and that a shoulder strap was included. Nonetheless, I'm buying another one. =)
