Sherpa Original Deluxe Lattice Print Airline-Approved Dog & Cat Carrier Bag

This is my second carrier - and the only reason I bought another is because my first one was destroyed in a house fire. This is the best quality soft carrier I have found. I always keep it open near my bed, and the cats love to relax and play in it too. The multiple zippers make it easy to get the cats in and out of it. I have 3 cats and 2 of these - 1 cat is 12lbs the other two weigh about 15lbs between them - and these are perfect for traveling. The mesh is very strong, and the handles too. Top quality and the cats get to see what is going on around them. Small enough to pack away when not needed, unlike the big plastic types that take up so much space.

I’ve had my Sherpa cat carrier for over 20 years - and use it only for trips to the vet. It still looks like new. My kitties have been mostly compliant about letting me put them inside, and sometimes I unzip the top just a bit so they can pop their head out. I no longer have the fleece liner for the bottom so I lay a folded towel in there for comfort. Very sad to say my most recent use of this carrier was to transport my dear almost 18-year-old Main Coon, Lorenzo, for emergency euthanasia this past Sunday, September 27, the eve of Yom Kippur. He was crashing with end-stage renal failure. The soft carrier was at least comfortable for his final journey.

I thought about replacing it with a new one because the odor of his having soiled himself had permeated the material, but discovered that it is washable by hand in soapy water. Ready to be used again for happier times. … more

I have two large (10 and 13 lb) cats and both of them love this carrier. The larger cat was getting anxiety in a normal plastic cat crate and would pee in it. My vet recommended this type of carrier and I’m so glad she did! My large cat appears to barely fit inside, but he loves that it’s so cozy. It’s never a struggle to get him in. In fact I can set it on the floor and he waltzes right in. It’s also easy to carry!

This is a well thought out, nicely designed and constructed carrier. The hardware is metal, not plastic, the sewing job is well done, the fabric is heavy duty as are the zippers, and the floor can’t slip out of place because it’s held in by Velcro. There are cheaper knockoffs of this design (one is sold by Petmate) but they aren’t close to being as good. Pay the extra money and get this one instead.

Great product! Different entries make it easy to put your pet inside, depending on its preference or resistance. The removable pad is securely attached yet is easily removed for cleaning. The sides and front allow the pet to see out and not feel confined.

Until I purchased this carrier, I was using these large heavy carriers I used when I transported my cats from CA to MA via plane. The carriers were very heavy and hard to carry when taking my cats to the vets. This carrier is amazing. Its light weight, just large enough for my cat to move, it has several options to open to place your pet inside, it has a sturdy strap carrier handle and also comes with an additional strap to wear across your shoulders. I'm going to buy another one for my second cat.

My 8 month puppy is around 6 pounds but has to be put in a medium carrier in order for her to have space because she has a long body. Overrall probably the best purchase I have ever gotten. But I feel like when you carry if everywhere it hurts my should and hand (if I am hand carring it). Good product though.

I ordered this carrier for my cat, it has great reviews. When I got it opened it and unfolded it, the carrier was way too small for my cat. Its perfect if you have kittens, but an adult senior kitty who's old carrier had a standard sized pillow in it still with room to stretch and stand up, not working with this carrier. Pictures don't show everything.

Love this bag. Easy to fold out for use and back to flat for storage. The sherpa cover for the bottom is great.

I’m constantly traveling across states to see family and often bring my cat, Clover. She normally has to deal with her smaller carrier, it’s what I used for her vet visits. I saw this one was on sale for about $26 dollars and I felt really good about it. One I got it I immediately saved the cleaning instructions and read a short manual on how to get your pet adjusted to the carrier for longer trips. I keep it out and I leave it open so she can walk into it and she enjoy laying inside of it now. I also take her on short trips in it when I’m getting fast food. My favorite part is that it is wide and that there mesh on three sides so she can see out of it better. She really seems to like it which I’m constantly traveling across states to see family and often bring my cat, Clover.
