Sherpa Original Deluxe Airline-Approved Dog & Cat Carrier Bag

I got two of these for my cats. By the chart, I could have gotten one medium and one large but decided to get two large to make sure they wouldn't feel so cramped and claustrophobic. The thing is, the smaller cat will be fine. The other one barely fits in the carrier. I chose this carrier because it seems to be more open and airy than the old ones I have, and the cats hate, but I feel like the size and design is for the comfort of the parents, not the cats. For small cats, I suggest the large size. For medium size cats, the large is ok for short trips only. For cats that are slightly large than a medium size cat, don't buy this

I am a bit of an obsessive pet parent, I read reviews on everything before I consider purchasing. I was really hesitant to buy an airline-approved pet carrier without seeing it in person, but was really surprised at how much I like this carrier. It’s very sturdy and the walls don’t easily collapse when in use. There is a hard plastic piece on the bottom underneath the Sherpa liner, which is great in a soft carrier. I have a 2 cats, one being petite at 6lb and the other being rather chubby, around 11lb. They both are very cozy in the medium carrier and American Airlines confirmed the size fits their specifications. Would definitely recommend!

This the first carrier I got for Gucci and he likes it so far, we haven’t tried traveling with it yet but i’m getting him used to it around the house. I put a few treats in there and that really got him interested in going there. He is a 15 lbs Boston Terrier and he fits in there perfectly. it feels sturdy and comfortable to carry around. My only complaint is that there is no strap attachment to connect his collar to the hook inside to keep him secure.

This is the perfect car carrier for my cat. We rarely have to go anywhere, but when we do it is SO much easier getting a cat into a carrier from the top, than the side where you have to push them in - it just makes it more traumatic for them when they are being pushed into a confined area. I love the color purple so this worked for me too. Win-win.

Traveling by air from Arkansas to Maryland, I found this to be easy to manage, comfortable for my pup, and light weight. As we walked through the airports, my pup was able to safely have his head out so he could look around. I used a large for my Westie. It fit perfectly under the seat. We are looking forward to many more flights

When I took it out of the box, the first thing I noticed was how well it was put together. Very sturdy. As soon as I set it on the floor, my ginger boy walked in, turned around, laid down on the Sherpa covered bottom and fell asleep. Usually he freaks out over carriers.

This carrier is so much easier to use than our older plastic one. It has an opening on the top for our cat that really doesn’t like being confined, and it’s cozy and spacious, but not too big, so it’ll fit in the car easily. It seems super sturdy as well, like it will last a long time, with large heavy duty zippers and dense, yet breathable fabric. Our cats that like carriers haven’t left it since we pulled it from the box.

Made well, already had one and needed another as we have 2 cats. They like it as they will sleep in it during the day. There is a soft liner in it and the front zips down making access easy. Most important, we always get great service from Chewy.

My cat Grim, is a big Siamese/Americain Short Hair. He weighs 13Lbs. This was bought to take him places like the vet. Long story short, he was fine riding in it to the vet and back. He now sleeps in it at night! I could maybe stuff him in a smaller size but the large gives him a bit of room. Very pleased.

Fizz trashed the first Sherpa trying to escape, so I brought a new one for Marigold. Both had to go to the vet for teeth cleaning, and although they hated being in the carrier because neither one was allowed to drive the car, it worked very well. It's well made, zips easily, has lots of air flow, and room enough for little Marigold, at least. Fizz, in the second one, kind of - ahem - outgrew it, but I had purchased what I call his Winnebago with fold down sides, so he fits better in there. One of the best things is the weight, or lack there of. It's more than enough hefting 16 pound Fizz to be burdened by a heavy hard-sided carrier. This one's good and does the job, but I doubt if anyone can Fizz trashed the first Sherpa trying to escape, so I brought a new one for Marigold.
