on Wheels Indoor Pet Dog Carrier, Black Large for All Breed Sizes

Bought for our dog. Her first flight. We practiced about 6 times before the flight to get her used to it. She is 14 lbs. It was easy to pull/roll the carrier behind me as I walked through the airport. Very smooth rolling. When I had to take the escalator, was able to pick up and carry the carrier. It fit nicely under the seat of the plane (Alaska). We can see each other through the mesh, so she knows I’m there. Both front and back ends have zippers which allowed me to easily give her treats or put things into the carrier while she’s in there. Top opening (unzipped) allowed her to sit upright with her head out to take in the sight. Pocket on top useful for storing treats. There’s really no con as it was so easy to use and sturdy. Really made flying with her easy! GREAT PRODUCT! In case Sherpa is reading this for product enhancements - Nice to have: the wheels don’t have a stopper. It would be nice to have a stopper so it won’t roll on its own such as on a moving tram. It would be nice if we can extend the carrier strap to use it as a handle so that we can stroll the carrier right next to us as we are walking, instead of it being behind us.

I fly with my cat a lot and finally got sick of hauling his heavy butt around the airport on my shoulder. This is a great little carrier: the wheels roll extremely smoothly and it can turn on a dime. The material is quality and the construction feels sturdy. Additionally, it has shades that can be opened or lowered on all sides (except the front which has no shade), which is important for international/EU travel (some countries require open airflow on at least 3 sides). One drawback is that it's definitely on the small side when accounting for height, but my cat is a taller boy than most and he can still lay comfortably in it, he just can't fully stand up. He can move and turn around in it just fine. Another downside is the lack of storage pockets for his necessities/paperwork, but I can make do with the one pocket.

Excellent carrier for my 18 lb mini Aussie! Spacious and comfortably designed with plenty of soft padding. Easy to maneuver with the strap provided . She rode through the airport in style and we were able to board the plane quickly and settle her under the seat with ease. Folded easily for storage when not in use.

Very well made,sturdy and wheels rolled nicely,but it was too small for my 20 inch long male cat.

I bought this to fly with my 22-pound Westie. She is “tall” for her breed and I was concerned about her comfort over a long flight—but she was great on a three-hour trip. There was plenty of room for her to move around and lay comfortably, though I am not sure she would have been happy in there on a flight that was too much longer. The carrier fits fairly well under seats: the flex frame allows you to smoosh it under the window or middle seat, but I think it would have been too wide to fit under the aisle seat. (The gate attendant gave me pointers and she was absolutely right.) Once under, the bag sticks out a bit more than I think is probably allowed but no one said anything to me about it. You will have absolutely zero leg room for yourself: just know this going in. The bag’s mesh sides are well ventilated and my dog was perfectly fine—but you will not be able to see your dog, nor will she be able to see you during the flight. Carrying the bag is also easy. Getting on and off, you will have to carry your dog upright and the bag works really well for that. I used the tow strap in the terminal: at 22 pounds, she is too heavy to carry as a shoulder bag. She was fine with it—but no sudden direction changes or the bag will tip over. This is a really well made bag and a great option if you know the dimensions of your seat, and I am very happy with my choice.

SHERPA ON WHEELS PROS 1. Fits most USA airline requirements. I checked few other international ones and seems to go with those ones too if they allow pets on cabin. 2. Has 4 mesh sides opening. Three o them allowing you to roll up or down a plastic screen to provide your pet with privacy. This may be beneficial to scaredy pets. 3. It has locking zippers so pets don't open from the inside. 4. The mesh is claw/tear resistant. BUT the warranty won't cover if your pet tears it. (Soft carriers makers could use the same pet-proof patio mesh screen that is more resistant) 5. The carrier comes with a leak-proof travel tray, and the liner that also comes inside the tray has a water-proof backing. I will still put a pad somewhere 6. The attached wheels are a plus but can also be a con. More to this below. CONS 1. Due to the attached wheels the inside dimensions of the carrier are JUST 8 inches in Height. My cat weighs 10.8lb but being a male he is taller than female cats. Therefore 8 inches is NOT tall enough for pets to feel comfortable on longer trips when they need to stretch. This brings the next main issue of the carrier. 2. The inside does NOT have an collar tether clip to secure your pet to its collar or harness when the top area is partially or totally open. A master escapist cat can jump swiftly . Especially in moments like when TSA agents ask you to open the carrier to explore contents. The saying "let the cat out of the bag" will come true and this is when " Sh*t hits the fan". See video on YT called "Loose cat holds up Delta flight from New York to Texas. 3. The side openings do not come down completely. Just 2/3rds of the way when being pushed with your hand or 1/3 of the way with no downward external force . To me this means the best way to get your pet inside the carrier is via the top entry. I tried doing this with my Boots and he extended his legs farther than Simone Biles doing a split. 4. The pull on for the wheels seems uncomfortable . I am only 5'2 and feels bit short. I cant imagine someone taller trying to pull and not bending backwards and sideways to reach it. 5. The only are way to store personal or pet belongings on this carrier are via the outside hanging harness clips. No zippered area. Perhaps this is why it has 4 mesh screens openings versus other carriers who just have 3. OTHER DETAILS 1. Not all 4 wheels turn 360 degrees only the 2 front ones. This may give the carrier more stability as it is explained on their website. Or it may make it hard to make turns in some areas. 2. Note the way you would push a pet under an airplane chair is through the BACK of the carrier since that area is not as sturdy as the front (where the pull handle is). The back area is one with mesh screen pull down. 3. They makers say the seat belt can work as a luggage strap . Maybe yes maybe no . But it will be inconvenient to do this in airport . You would have to unlatch the pull handle to then latch it to luggage and roll. Then to use the wheels you would again remove the pull from luggage to roll it.

Nice product. I believe this should be the carrier for your dog.

I bought the Sherpa on Wheels and loved the way it made getting through the airport so easy. Unfortunately, it lasted only one trip. The zipper teeth stitching on both the top entrance and the pocket unraveled making the carrier unusable. It is such a well designed product but its a shame that such poor quality zippers were used considering the price. My fifteen pound Boston Terrier was comfortable in it but did not have much room to move. The size exceeds the regulations of airlines but it bends down on the top and I was able to get it on all my flights. It is such a great idea and I would be willing to pay more if it weren't so cheaply assembled.

Excellent, the best carrier so far. We just brought our two dogs to Costa Rica for 6 months. They manoeuvre well in the airport, the 5&10 lb dogs are very comfortable, the wheels are excellent. It’s a bit long for under the plane seat but we put them In end first and it was ok. I wish this was made in a medium size on wheels, I would definitely recommend this!

Not satisfied with this product

Product as described but have to find a way of persuading my cat to use it

Esta súper practica! 😊🙌🏻🙌🏻

ne correspond pas à la taille L. Ma petite chienne ne pouvait pas entrer dans le sac. J'ai dû modifier une partie d'une ouverture pour lui permettre d'y accéder. Elle commence à l'utiliser quand elle ne veut pas jouer avec l'épagneul français, plus grand qu'elle et très joueur. A force d'efforts et de récompenses, Lexy , ma patite chienne, a fini par adopter ce sac bloqué par une petite table afin qu'il ne bouge pas. J'espère qu'au prochain voyage elle accepterait de s'y installer. Ce sac est robuste. J'aurai aimé avoir le même en grand pour mon Épagneul français. Merci au fabricant de prévoir une entrée plus aisée pour les chiens.
