Dog LOVES it.
Used this to travel via plane, train and car with my miniature poodle. Did some training to get him used to it and he gladly walks in on command and is able to chill and feel safe and relaxed. Quality is really good, not 100% perfect but very sturdy and seems like it will last.

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.

Really great pet carrier
Really great pet carrier, lightweight but strong and secure, and easy to open and place cat inside. Feels more welcoming and cat friendly than a plastic/metal carrier. Sold at a very good price through Amazon.

Be Sure of Your Sizes
This is the best small dog/cat. carrier I have found. My only problem with it is the sizing. I have a small Maltese dog (only 8 pounds), and he barely fits into the medium size. This is not according to what the advertised scaling says things should be.Other than that problem, however, the Sherpa bag is well made, comfortable and safe for my dog. I love it for him! I owned one when I lived in the States years ago, and this new one IS "the original". I would recommend the Sherpa bag to anyone...simply be sure to buy one big enough for your dog or cat.

Quality carrier
I searched all over for a carrier that was the right size for my dachshund and finally found Sherpa. All others were either too short for her, or too big to comply with airline measurements. I found multiple videos online where people used and recommended Sherpa carrier large for airline travel, which made me feel confident with this choice.My dog is about 17 inches long neck to bum, 10 inches floor to shoulder and weighs about 20 pounds.

Sturdy and well made.
We used this to bring our cat on board the flight when moving to Canada as it is 'guaranteed on board' with quite a few airlines. Our cat was very comfortable in it. It is easy to carry and very very sturdy and the two opening options are very helpful. This made both ours and our cats journey very comfortable. I would highly recommend this product.

My cat won't leave this carrier
Brought for airline travel and my cat is obsessed with this carrier he sleeps in it all day. Good value for money as it's sold for way more on pet sites.

The end of the carrier that you push furthest under the seat in front of you gets a little bit crunched, because the underside of the seat in front of you slopes down a little bit. There was still room for my pet, however, and she even exceeds this carrier's recommended size. You do have to push and shove a bit to get it under the seat. Since this carrier is soft-sided it allows for a some flexibility when doing that. All in all, it worked out fine and I'm very happy with the carrier."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Alaska Airlines specifies their dimensions as 9.5X12X17.

The sherpa size small comes in under the soft-sided dimensions Alaska requires. So if you are buying the small, yes it will fit. If you are buying the medium, it is slightly too big and MAYBE you'll get away with it, and the size large is way too big. With Alaska, they appear to be trying to steer larger animals to the checked baggage compartment."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What size dog is this for, Amazon?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"I bought this carrier for my cat.
