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.

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.

Wheels good BUT
By Mouf on Nov 22, 2020
While it’s good to have the wheels, I feel it’s not high enough and there’s not enough storage space for other things the other Sherpa carry case had w/o wheels.

Looks ok for a VERY small pet!
By Bport on Jul 25, 2020
I ordered 4 carriers from Chewy for flying with my 14 lb. Havanese. My dog is 12" tall from floor to top of his back (not including his head). He is 16" long. I ordered the large. The box says the carrier is 20" long by 12.25" wide by 10.5 high as is in the Chewy description. This is a large. There is no way I can take my puppy in this. The carrier is actually 18" long by 12.25" wide by 9.5" high. Sherpa is counting the height of the wheels. AND, I have no idea where they are coming up with the length of the 20". Including the box??? But again, my dog is only 12" tall and it's way too small for him.

Comfy, a Bit Snug
By MeowMs on Jul 22, 2020
As soon as I opened the box, I put the carrier out to let the "new" smell dissipate and let my cat get used to it. It took a few days, but then she walked right in, lay down and went to sleep. I love that the flaps open on all sides for maximum air flow. The wheels turn around freely to let me navigate the carrier easily. She's never had a road trip before, so anticipating an upcoming long road trip with her, I took her on a trial run for about two hours. Only near the end of that time did she start to get restless. I took off a star for the size: The interior cabin is a bit too small for her to turn around in (she's 13 lb).

Perfect pet carrier
By LoriNevers on Jun 24, 2020
Perfect carrier for my long haired Chihuahua. I'm disabled and I can carry Peppy in my carrier, in my lap in my wheelchair, or pull Peppy along side of me while my care giver is pushing me. Peppy loves his carrier so much that he gets inside of it to travel even when we're driving somewhere. Plus, it's airline approved!

Sherpa Ultimate on Wheels Pet Carrier
By Merky on Apr 12, 2020
Merri now has this new carrier on wheels because of my recent injury is painfully difficult to carry her around the apartment building when we go on an outside walk, she has to have a ride through the cruel parking lot and then runs three grassy lawns around the building returns to her apartment. chose this Sherpa Carrier on Wheels because this Sherpa will allow Merri her health walks and it's working great for the purpose i had hoped ! there is no stress on my back and broke hip; Merri can continue her daily walks. this is a Sherpa. our other carry case is a Sherpa that has a porch. Sherpa may be slightly more expensive and is worth the not- so- large difference in price. since we only Merri now has this new carrier on wheels because of my recent injury is painfully difficult to carry her around the apartment building when we go on an outside walk, she has to have a ride through the cruel parking lot and then runs three grassy lawns around the building returns to her apartment. chose this Sherpa Carrier on Wheels because this Sherpa will allow Merri her health walks and it's working great for the purpose i had hoped ! there is no stress on my back and broke hip; Merri can continue her daily walks. this is a Sherpa. our other carry case is a Sherpa that has a porch.

not for a pet weighing 15 lbs
By Sara on Aug 16, 2020
my 15 lb Bicheon cannot move in this carrier. I wont be able to use it. I would rate it high for a smaller pet.

Southwest approved
By elle on Dec 25, 2019
Great product for your larger small breed. AND southwest had no problem with the carrier! I have a cockapoo weighing 23 lbs. He did great it the carrier and had room to move around a bit. When looking for a carrier I was nervous because the carrier is longer than the dimensions for the under-seat on southwest and I know southwest wants, and makes sure, under-seat carry-ons are pushed all the way forward due to concern for hazards in an emergency. When I called southwest regarding the carrier dimensions they stated the middle and window seat is actually the largest with the dimensions: window- 19"L, 14"W, 8.25"H. middle- 19"L, 19"W, 8.25"H & aisle- 19"L, 14"W, 8.2"H...

Due to the carrier being 20"L, it does stick out from the under-seat a bit. So although the middle seat would be ideal for more leg room for myself, I chose the window seat so no one would have to have any difficulty going to the bathroom during flight. (I flew by myself, so if traveling with someone I would suggest the middle seat for the pup and you!) There were no issues with southwest, they never asked to measure the carrier or singled the carrier out on flight for sticking out from under the seat. phew! Note: The only thing that I did notice that could be bothersome to some- upon take off the carrier rolls backward into your feet a bit(just a slow roll, not jammed into you) due to it being on wheels and nothing to secure them. Also there is a small pocket on the top of the bag, great for the leash and I stuck my pups vaccine records. I hope this helps any one in their travels! Great product and IT WORKS ON SOUTHWEST!!! … more

Cool ride for cats
By Catmaintenanceworker on Oct 10, 2019
Used my friend's to bring my two kittens home from MI where I got them and it worked well although it was a little big to fit under the seat. Luckily I had booked Delta Comfort so i could turn it lengthwise and seat mate could get past it. Now when i put it out to take one to the vet they both want to get in it. Sometimes have to use an older carrier to take the one i want out the door.
