Sherpa Ultimate on Wheels Dog & Cat Carrier Bag

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

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.

A solid choice! … more

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!

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.

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.

I pulled this carrier out of box to transport puppy and it’s not sewn properly on the top flap

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.

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.

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).

I really like the carrier it’s nice and easy to tag along.
