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.

difficult to deep clean
By Gabbie on May 19, 2021
Overall this is not worth full price I’d say it’s worth $35. I used this carrier to bring my cat to the vet for a neutering appointment and when they gave him back to me they zipped his tail in the opening leaving him more stressed. Another problem with this carrier is after you’ve taken the bedding out it looks like there is cardboard on the bottom so you can’t really deep clean it, it’s super frustrating because my cats that I’ve had travel in this have always nervously soiled the carrier. This carrier is a bit small even though it’s supposed to be a large I’d say save your money and just get a nice hard carrier secondhand.

Save your money & keep looking
By Laura on Apr 27, 2021
I bought the large intending to use it to take my cats to the vet. What a joke, it isn’t big enough to allow one cat to turn around much less two. I know the manufacturer recommended not putting 2 cats in it saying they might be so upset they could end up fighting but mine are 3 years old, litter mates who have always lived together so I wasn’t worried about a fight breaking out. I wondered why every picture of an animal in this carrier was sitting in it with the top open, now I know. How anyone could use this to travel with their pet is a mystery to me. I can’t even say if the wheels are any good, I refused to close the top with either cat in it. It’s going back & I’m hoping no one will buy I bought the large intending to use it to take my cats to the vet. What a joke, it isn’t big enough to allow one cat to turn around much less two.

Love it so far
By Stef on Jun 1, 2021
I just received the bag a few days ago and haven't used it on a trip yet, but have been doing some training and rolling it around the house to practice. Spacious enough for my 17 lb dog to crawl in and turn around and lay down, but not really 'stand up' fully. Wheels work well to roll straight and turn around corners.

Best carrier we’ve found

This is the best carrier we’ve found to date! Very sturdy and rolls well

Good carrier but definitely not worth full price.
By Gretchen on Dec 13, 2020
TLDR: Smaller than you think it is. No storage. As far as its main purpose goes, it's okay. The wheels are included in the height measurement so the actual body of the carrier is shorter than you think it is. My 15lb Frenchie can lay down and turn around comfortably, but there's no way she can stand up unless I open the top. The wheels are smooth and the handles feel sturdy. The flaps on the side to allow your pet to see are held open with velcro, but the velcro is not actually strong enough to hold up the little flaps, so honestly don't even bother. Get your pet used to being in the carrier when it's dark because those flaps won't hold up when you start moving. There is literally TLDR: Smaller than you think it is. No storage.

It has one pocket on the top that's the size of a box of mac and cheese. I could only get a few extra rolls of poop bags, some wipes, and the least in there. Prepare to bring another bag for any supplies your pet may need. Obviously, these things don't HAVE to be in a carrier to make it good, but it's kind of ridiculous to pay this much for a carrier that's this simple. If this carrier was under $40 I would consider buying it again, but since it is almost $100 I'm gonna say to just save your money and try another carrier. … more

Great carrier
By MerryG on Feb 9, 2021
My largest cat Onyx is 21.5lbs and fit comfortably in this very sturdy carrier. The ability to open any side so he & I could see each other was a nice feature. Glides beautifully & smooth!

Saved my back
By AugieMom on Feb 7, 2021
Quality built, wheel rollers are excellent. Having to carry my 19 lb dog in a carrier from the ticket check into the plane was not an easy task for me.

absolute best dog carrier for Southwest Airlines
By carrier on Dec 15, 2020
I previously had the Sherpa shoulder bag but got tired of my dog getting banged up against my hip while walking through the airport. So I got this wheeled carrier. I was very nervous about it because the dimensions seem to exceed the airline under-seat measurements. I mostly fly Southwest and can honestly say this carrier fits with NO problems under the middle seat. The aisle under-seat is do-able but right. It will NOT fit under the window seat. I cannot speak for other airlines. I love the little flag that comes with this carrier. People think I am pulling a carryon bag but when they look closer I get lots of, “”Ooh, there’s a pet in there.” Love the vent-able sides on this to allow for I previously had the Sherpa shoulder bag but got tired of my dog getting banged up against my hip while walking through the airport.

Doggie transit
By Kathy on Apr 2, 2021
Worked well. Our dog slept for the whole flight. Easy to pull through the airport.

Nice bag but MUCH smaller than advertised
By mstarr on Nov 12, 2020
I ordered this bag for an upcoming flight with my 11# chihuahua. She can lay down in it but cannot sit or stand. It says that it is almost 11" tall but that must be including the wheels because the interior is only ~8" tall. This says that it can fit a 22# animal and that is NOT true (maybe if you have an extremely obese toy breed???). I honestly would not put anything other than a toy breed dog in this carrier.
