QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE TRAVELING WITH YOUR PET: * Is my pet too old or young to handle the stress of traveling? * Is my pet in poor health? * Is my pet recovering from surgery or a traumatic event? * Is my pet pregnant? * Does my pet get motion sickness? If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, check with your vet if your pet is suited for transport in its current condition. PREP YOUR PET: Be sure to purchase the correct size of carrier appropriate for the weight of your pet. Using a carrier that is too large could result in motion sickness. Your pet should have enough room to stand up and turn around inside the carrier. Prior to traveling make sure to allow ample time for your pet to familiarize itself with its carrier. We recommend purchasing a carrier at least a month in advance to allow your pet sufficient time to become accustomed to it. Put the carrier in an open area so the pet can investigate and get used to its scent and shape. Put one of your pet's toys, treats or blankets inside the carrier to entice your pet to enter it willingly. Do not force your pet inside the carrier. Take your pet on short trips in the carrier so they get used to being transported in it. If your pet does not like being inside, or tries to escape from the carrier, we recommend further training prior to travel or considering transporting your animal in a hard-sided carrier. TRAVELING BY PLANE * Always check your airline's rules and regulations prior to flying. Your pet should be securely in the carrier at all times when aboard the aircraft. * Always supervise your pet. NEVER leave your pet unsupervised or unattended in a carrier. Failure to do so can result in damage to the carrier, escape, or injury to your pet. * Never give your pet sedatives or tranquilizers unless prescribed by your vet. If prescribed, be sure to get clear and precise instructions as to the dosage, the frequency of the dosage and any risks involved with sedating your pet. Follow the instructions exactly. Do not increase the dosage at your own discretion as pets can easily be over-medicated, especially when flying, as increased altitude can cause cardiovascular and respiratory problems. * Do not allow your pet to travel with a choke, pinch or training collar. Cats should travel with a collar that has a quick release or break-away feature. * Leads should not be used when your pet is enclosed in the carrier. * Be sure your pet's collar is secure and clearly displays proof of current vaccinations, your name, address and contact info. TRAVEL TIPS FOR YOU AND YOUR PET 1. Book reservations for you and your pet early. Most airlines restrict the number of pets allowed on board each flight. 2. Complete and print your Guaranteed on Board® forms, or call your airline for its specific requirements. 3. Research your destination city’s pet rules & regulations, along with those of where you will be staying. 4. Prep your pet for travel. Be sure it has ample time to adjust to its carrier and practice traveling with your pet in the carrier on short trips prior to the big day. 5. Make an appointment with your vet. Acquire a health certificate and ensure your pet is up-to-date with its shots no more than 10 days prior to your departure. 6. Research and create a list of local vets and emergency clinics at your destination. 7. Be sure you have all of your and your pet’s documentation in order. Do you have your pet’s health certificate? Do you have your Guaranteed On Board® forms to show to the gate agent? 8. Have your contact info clearly and securely labeled on both your pet’s carrier and on your pet’s tags. 9. Pack for your pet in advance so you can be sure nothing is forgotten. 10. Arrive early on your day of departure and allow ample time for you and your pet to check-in and board your flight. Plan ahead and know various locations at the airport(s) where your pet can relive itself prior to (and between) flying. TRAVELING BY CAR * Always supervise your pet. NEVER leave your pet unsupervised or unattended in a carrier. Failure to do so can result in damage to the carrier, escape, or injury to your pet. * Secure the carrier in the backseat of the car only. Do not secure the carrier to the front seat - your pet will be the safest in the back. The seatbelt can be secured through the luggage band located on the rear side panel of the carrier. The shoulder strap can be secured around the headrest if applicable. * Never give your pet sedatives or tranquilizers unless prescribed by your vet. If prescribed, be sure to get clear and precise instructions as to the dosage, the frequency of the dosage and any risks involved with sedating your pet. Follow the instructions exactly. Do not increase the dosage at your own discretion as pets can easily be over-medicated. * Do not allow your pet to travel with a choke, pinch or training collar. Cats should travel with a collar that has a quick release or break-away feature. * Leads should not be used when your pet is enclosed in the carrier. * Be sure your pet's collar is secure and clearly displays proof of current vaccinations, your name, address and contact info.

This is a fantastic a little pet carrier!
I wasn’t sure about these because they were the cheaper version but that’s what I needed at the time. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it. Good condition, although we never use the attachable strap it’s nice they have one. I pulled everything out to just gas off immediately cause it’s pretty much what I do with everything I buy these days. But I do want to say that there were no horrible smells. May be very slight but I am extremely sensitive. I took off the sheepskin cover threw it in the wash and it has been washed a few times and still fits great. We are truly happy with this purchase. There was plenty of room and lots of viewing area where the meesh is. If I remember right I think there is only one side that is solid. I find it very handy and we leave them open in a certain part of the house and the cats love to just get in them. That’s how cozy they are! I also think it’s good for them and would highly recommend doing this so that they don’t attach these negatively with going to the vet. We take are cats for rides in these from time to time and have no problem at all. They are simple and easy. We actually had to go from the medium size to the large and I went ahead and ordered the one with quilting fabric and I am super happy with it. Cannot say enough about these very reasonably priced carriers. Ample storage for us …….but we are not big on traveling with cats. These are just for car rides sometimes and perhaps to go visit our holistic pet doc.

pretty good but not perfect
i bought a couple of these for my cats. first one, the floor was super sturdy and had a super nice floor mat...but the floor didn't fit properly into the velcro on the bottom ..it was too big. i measured the carrier itself and it was slightly shorter than the listed dimensions. the carrier itself is also stitched crookedly and it's slightly lopsided. 2nd one, the floor was less sturdy with thinner cardboard..floor mat is also less plush. but the floor of this one fit in both just fine so i just swapped it with the 1st one. now they both fit. the carrier itself is slightly bigger than the 1st one and stitched straight/not lopsided. i am using the thicker cardboard floor with my fat cat, and thinner cardboard for my skinny cat after mixing and matching parts between the 2 carriers. they seem to have switched materials used in production at some point or they are just not consistent between the carriers. i bought the medium and they are snug for my cats. despite all of that, i still think this carrier is slightly sturdier and higher quality than other 20$ carriers i've used from amazon. if you can get this on sale or used for around 20 bucks or cheaper it's worth it.. but for full price i'd just stick with an offbrand in the 20$ range.

Perfect for air travel with Westie
This carrier worked perfectly for flying my 14-year old, 16-pound Westie from San Diego to Milwaukee (and back) during the Thanksgiving holiday. We flew US Airways and despite the large size being slightly bigger than required dimensions, we had zero problems whatsoever. Here are a few answers to questions I had before flying that may help ease your concerns: 1. US Air did not check that he could stand up or turn around 2. It was tight, but he could, in fact, stand up and turn around 3. US Air did not check any health certificates- all I had to do each way was sign a short form that the person at the counter filled out on my behalf. Although I was very nervous about getting turned away due to the size of the carrier, I acted like we had done this a million times (unlike the woman in line next to me with a dog that did not stop barking/squealing for the entire 15 min I was next to her). We both had a large Sherpa carrier and we both got through. 4. The strap is extremely sturdy and my dog felt comfortable with me holding him through the airport 5. I brought a blanket with me to cover the carrier in case it didn't fit completely under the seat. The carrier DID fit with a little squishing and maneuvering, but since the flight atttendants on some of the flights were very strict, I used it to be able to pull the carrier out from under the seat mid-flight and give my little guy some reassuring pats on the head. The blanket was also helpful when my late night flight had all the lights on- I wanted my dog to sleep and be relaxed, so I covered the holes. When it got very warm mid-flight, I threw him a few ice cubes to rehydrate. 6. TRAINING: To get my Westie ready for his first flight, I bought the carrier about 2 weeks before. The first day or two, I motioned with treats and he walked in himself. I left the top open so he wouldn't feel claustrophobic. Once he was comfortable with the "box" (as we called it), I started closing the front door and placing him in the top hole (again, always with treats). I didn't let him walk out on his own after this part of the training; I wanted him to know that once he was in his box, he couldn't leave without me taking him out. Once he became comfortable sitting in the box, I put a treat on the bottom and as soon as he put his head down to get it, I zipped the lid and let him enjoy his treat in there. I expected him to freak out the first time (my dog is not well-trained by any means; he will not even sit on command most days), but he stayed calm, so after about 5 minutes of me sitting by his box, I picked it up, did a few laps around the apartment, went down the elevator, loaded him up in the car and took a short drive to the pet store. He didn't mind at all. After I saw that, we toned down the training to every couple of days. Some nights after work, I would put him in his box (always through the top and always with a treat before the lid was closed) and put him at my feet while I watched TV for an hour or two. I would never walk away from the box and occasionally gave him reassuring pats or words of encouragement every 30 mins or so. Due to time constraints, we never trained for staying in the box longer than 2 hours, despite us having about a 7 hour trip time with the layovers. A few training tips: buy soft treats and use VERY tiny pieces. Especially at the beginning, you will likely be going through quite a few treats, so the smaller, the better. You don't want your dog throwing up in there (or expecting large treats on the plane!) Also, never give in to your dog if he/she tries to bite its way out of the bag. Stop the behavior and do not let it out of the carrier until the behavior has stopped and some time has passed. This is not fun to deal with mid-flight, so stop the behavior before you get in the air. 7. To help with his ears popping, I brought several nylabones on the plane (the pocket on the carrier is perfect for a few treats, a collapsible water bowl, a potty pad for layovers if you don't have time to take your dog out between flights, and a Kindle for yourself). During takeoff, I handed him a bone (I put PB on them so he would lick and bite) as I pet him. He's used to car rides, so this didn't phase him much. 8. Every so often throughout the flight, I would unzip a tiny hole (he did want to escape, so I had to be careful) and give him a small piece of treat to check on him. 9. The mesh on this carrier is STURDY. My dog has a bite similar to a pitbull, and the determination of a 6 year old trying to reach a giant piece of candy that was put just out of reach, so when he started trying to eat his way out of the carrier during the last 30 mins of the flight, every scenario of him running through the aisles like a mad man started running through my head. Luckily, however, the mesh held up and we landed safely shortly thereafter. I was left with a bruised hand due to the struggle, but the bag was just fine. 10. Day of flight: check in with plenty of time to spare. This is not the time to add stress. Once your bags are checked in and your dog has the "ok" to fly, check out the security line. If it's short, I recommend walking out of the airport and giving your dog some last-minute fresh air, one last bathroom stop, and a moment for the vet-recommended Benadryl to kick in. When the time comes to go through security, you'll put the carrier through (I also had a backpack with the blanket tied to it and a large coat) and carry your dog through the x-ray machine. I put my dog back in the carrier at this point, but if your dog's leash is easily accessible, you could probably get away with walking it on its leash to the gate (at least that seemed to be the case at SAN, PHX & MKE). You'll want to be one of the last to board (you won't have luggage, so carry on space won't be a concern). If you have a layover, check out potty areas ahead of time. Few airports have potty areas behind security (SAN is one), so you'll need to know what your options are and if you'll have time. During our short layover, I had planned to take my dog to the bathroom stall and lay out a potty pad. Since he had just gone about 90 min prior however, we spent our 20 mins between flights with his head poking out of the carrier while he observed the craziness of Thanksgiving travel. If I could do this again, I would have taken him on a quick walk in the airport to burn off some energy. All in all, flying with my Westie was much less stressful for him than boarding. The large Sherpa was great and I would highly recommend it. The only thing I would change would be adding mesh on the top of the carrier, but not a big deal.

Good for Air Canada and Westjet for my pug x chihuahua
Got the large carrier for my 16 pound chihuahua x pug. I had a lot of trouble finding a carrier large enough for my dog, even though she is relatively light, she is quite tall and has a long body. She fit in this carrier great! (Her head peaks out though when she’s standing). With the carrier, she was just under the weight limit for Air Canada and WestJet. However, they never weighed her or the carrier at any time, they just asked her weight when I booked her for the flight. Also, they never measured the carrier itself. This carrier was good for Air Canada and WestJet, even though the height is 1 inch just over the height limit. It still fit under the seat but I usually have to squish it down a bit, especially when the plane has a box under the seat (not really problem since the carrier is flexible and my dog has enough space). I asked my vet about sedation for my nervous dog and she gave me dosages for over the counter medicine (gravol or Benadryl), which I gave to her one hour before departure. I would recommend contacting your vet for long flights. I would add that the while the carrier fits under the seat, putting the carrier under length wise you will have much less leg room! In some planes, you can put it width wise but it will take more than your share of space so it's better if you sit next to someone with light luggage underneath that doesn't mind sharing with a dog. Overall great experience with the carrier which is a great size for my dog and fit quite well under the seat. I like how it can slip onto larger luggage. Only wish it had wheels, since carrying my dog through the airport was quite a workout! To solve this, I recommend bringing a small luggage on wheels as the other carry-on item and putting the carrier on top (It has a strap that fits over the luggage handle). The pet carrier counts as the personal item. EDIT: I’ve been using this carrier for around 5 years on many flights (10+) and only once had a minor issue (the flight attendent said the dog should be able to stand and turn around in the carrier and was skeptical if she could). I flew both WestJet and Air Canada, and I much prefer WestJet. They allow you have priority boarding when you have a pet in cabin which is such a relief and makes things easier. I found a lot of planes have the life vest under the seat so I often have to squish down the carrier, meaning there is less space for your pet, so be aware of it! (See photos)

Not Big
I've just received this, only ordered yesterday so top marks for delivery Amazon....... I ordered the Large size as have 4 big cats. my smallest BSH fits in but only just and he can't stand up in it..I know Brits are big cats but its the smallest one whos tried it out, so just be aware that its not really that big. A lot easier for me to carry tho than my plastic one which weighs a ton....Hope it lasts as there are other cheaper ones available with good reviews too, but only the best for my babies lol

Disappointed with quality
We bought this cat carrier thinking it would be the same quality as our original Sherpa now 17 years old and still going strong. I wish we hadn't now the new model (it does say original!)has been built cheaply and falling to pices after a year. The fur mat is thin and now only held down with a pice of Velcro which has given up, and the reinforceing rods at the top of the bag are poking through and fall out. The whole bag feels cheap and fragile compared to our original. The bag wasn't cheap and we thought we were buying the same quality as our original bag. It is a shame the company has decided to reduce quality why would you want to do this? I would recommend you shop around and consider looking at a cheaper bag spending more money in this case doesn't guarantee quality.

Perfect for international travel
This is actually my second purchase as I now have 2 cats. My first carrier, purchased over 8 years ago has been on multiple flights, trains, buses and taxis and is great and showing no signs of wear and tear. It is sturdy enough for travel whilst keeping my cat comfortable. I also particularly like the useful pocket at the back where I can keep the cat's passport and other useful items, as well as the fact it has a top and a front opening. The top opening is very useful to put the cats in and the front opening is the one I use to allow them to creep back in at the vet's office. One cat also like to nap in the carrier if I leave it out.

Great carrier. Shape and size is great for my ...
Great carrier. Shape and size is great for my baby, she seems to feel a lot safer in this bag than my other larger one from sturdibag. The quality is a solid minus point though, I feel as though she could actually quite easily get out if she really wanted to. The mesh is pretty weak and could be chewed or scratched through and the zippers can be pushed on from the inside and thus glide apart. I really wish there was a way of locking the zipper. I ended up tying them together with a piece of string to be on the safe side. There's really only one side pocket and hardly anything fits in there, only her passport. Ideally I would have liked to be able to put a leash and some treats etc in too. The pad is super comfy. I'm giving a high rating not because I like it, I really prefer the other carrier in terms of quality and feeling of safety for my honey but because she's much more at peace in this one I have to say it's quite good. I do feel like the main point of it is the size and shape, but also the brand. Airlines don't even check it because it's a sherpa, so that's one less thing to worry about when travelling with your pet. I think it's a shame they don't make them in better quality though, I was disappointed when I received it and worried it wouldn't even hold her safely.
