Sherpa Original Deluxe Travel Pet Carrier, Airline Approved - Black Lattice, Large

Perfect for my cat, very well made. Cat hates car rides but this makes them more comfortable all things considered. Easy to carry, easy to clean. One time had to evacuate fast to a shelter (natural disaster) and these carriers made that significantly easier. This is the 4th Sherpa carrier I've bought in the last decade (for 4 different animals). The quality is still the best. The other 3 carriers still work great, too. As long as the quality stays this good and stays reasonably priced I'll continue to be a fan.

I bought this deluxe travel pet carrier for my cat (7 lbs) for a recent trip, and I’m beyond impressed! It’s comfortable, well-ventilated, and made traveling so much easier.it’s cheaper than compare pets tickets at airport and the capacity is huge.I carried my beagle and it was comfortable in there. You can check your pet so normal for the visibility that it has .The best purchase I have had.

After years of using a heavy, hard-sided carrier for my cat, I switched to this. The shoulder strap and carrying handles make it really convenient, even for a heavier cat. It's much less awkward than my hard-sided carrier, which just had one handle on top. The zippered pockets are convenient for stashing medication or receipts from the vet visit. The top and side openings are great, especially for a cat that doesn't want to come out at the vet. It was easy to wrap a pee pad around the plush bottom insert as well, to protect it and deal with any accidents.

I reviewed another style of this same sherpa carrier--it's my 'go to' since I know that the two airlines I have flown with this carrier I've never had problems. On Delta and American Airlines, the carrier with Bear inside fits under the seat in front of me. A few trips ago, I began buying the upgraded seats. It costs me more but it's worth it. There's more legroom and as well I can board quickly and leave quickly, which helps when carrying a dog.I always buy a medium. Small of course too small for my dog. But the large is too big to fit under the seats--just note this that American Airline (and maybe Delta too) has limitations on carry one dog carrier size, so the medium is as large as you can go, at least with these Sherpa styles. A medium just fits my 12-14 pound chihuahua mix. Not the usual tiny chihuahua - he is beefy! He can stand up, turn around, and does well in this carrier. This one has more ventilation so that's a plus. There's only one pocket, which the other style I used had two, so I wish there were another pocket.I ordered one of those soft straps that you can pull wide to fit on your shoulder more comfortably. Carrying around a 12-14 pound dog doesn't sound like a lot but it can be awkward and heavy hurrying what seems like miles through an airport. It does help, though it's not ideal. Made by the same company.I did fill out the form on guaranteed travel for the other style I had and likely will do it with this one. Never had to use it so no idea if they really do honor it.Zips at the top. Zips at the front. The bedding part is thin but it works and he's pretty comfortable in there--he has taken naps in the carrier if I have it out before a trip, or if I need to use it for vet trips.This is a 'no frills' carrier - it's plain, it's simple, but I like it because I know the airlines I fly accept it and it will fit under the seats. The price is reasonable as well.

Purchased the large for my 12lb poodle mix, Millie. Called and booked ahead with Delta to inform them that I would be bringing Millie. Even though the size of the large is slightly over Delta requirements, they never checked the dimensions at check in. I figure it’s due to it being soft sided and close enough. We accustomed her to the bag a few times in the weeks leading up to her first flight. She jumped right in and loved it each time. The only time she became stressed was within the airport (ATL) and it was Christmas chaos. We gave her a cbd treat and she did well. The bag has a suitcase strap and is very sturdy for being a soft shell. The only unfortunate part is that after one flight, the top corner seam started to come undone. Returned and received a new one. I think the overall look and feel of this bag is worth it and will deal with having the seams sewn if needed again because of its great size, feel and useful design. It fit well in Deltas main cabin 757-200. Would recommend and would buy again.
