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.

Questions & Answers

28 Customer Questions


What are the differences between this lattice print carrier and the more expensive deluxe airline approved carrier? Thank you.


What size should I get for a 16-18 pound cat?

Answer by ChewyJan 27, 2021
Sizing is based on your pet's body dimensions compared to the dimensions of the carrier. For the complete sizing chart, click the “Size” tab, next to the “Instructions” tab, just under the product photos. Click the "Size" tab, next to the "Highlights" tab, towards the top bar above the product image when viewed on the app.

Which airline allows the original deluxe?

Answer by ChewyOct 10, 2019
This carrier is approved to be used on most major airlines, however it's recommended to contact your airline prior to booking a flight to ensure this pet carrier meets their requirements.

Is this carrier stackable? I have 5 cat/kittens & being able to have 2 stacks instead of 5 carriers around me would make travel easier. Thanks

Answer by ChewyDec 22, 2019
This carrier is flexible and with the weight of your pet, it is not recommended nor safe to stack.

I had a 30+-year-old Sherpa carrier that had lost its shape so I decided to get two new ones for our three-day car trip to spend the summer in Canada. These are really well made and easy to fold up while traveling (though I had to look up the instructions of turning them upside down to fold them as a traveling companion had tried to force one and bent it slightly). I ordered them months early and left them out so the cats could use them as a comfy cave. These were perfect to safely transfer them from the large car crate into the hotel each night. I'm going to store them set up rather than folded as I think it's better to maintain their shape.

Perfect for cats for a short trip to vet. Just fits a 12 pound cat and is plenty roomy for a small kitten or two. It easy to load in and out of car. Cats seem to feel comfortable in it, as long as they don't have to stay in it for a long time. Shoulder strap makes it easy to tote. Handy pocket on one end for small items. Would buy again.

This was purchased to take a Maine Coon Cat to vet appointments. He can now be loaded into the carrier either by the top of the side which is a big plus for this big cat. I purchased it for a friend and she is very happy with it.

Easy top opening

Like having the option of both top and side openings. The bottom needs a bit more support if the cat is restless and moving around!

Good price

We needed 6 carriers so I did not want to spend a ton of money. These are a good size and a good shape.
