Sherpa Duffle Carrier - up to 8 lbs


Plane travel
I bought this to transport an 8 week old Samoyed puppy on an airplane. She was about 8 lbs when we traveled and maybe it's because her coat makes her look bulky, but she was just able to fit in the bag laying down and standing. There wasn't room to put anything in it but her and one toy. She labored a little to turn around in it, but she was able to do it. This bag fit under the seat nicely but there is no extra room. The plane was American Airlines. It will butt up against the bar for the seat in front of you and against your shoes. It's a nice looking bag and the dog seemed comfortable. She slept in it the entire 2 flights (we had a layover) without a peep or whine or anything. And no, she was not under any kinds of meds. The bag was that comfortable for her.

Don't rely on the weight to measure whether your dog will fit in it. Measure the dog's dimensions because while my 8 lb large breed dog couldn't fit in it anymore when she was 12 lbs, I can fit my 4 lb toy...
Teacup Yorkie tote
I purchased this Sherpa Duffle Carrier to transport my two teacup Yorkies around town and to the groomer. One is 4.8 pounds and the other 5.1 pounds. They fit in the duffle easily and make car trips for me less stressful and safer. They do not cry in the duffle and usually fall asleep. The Duffle is well made and attractive and we love it.
Sherpa Duffle Carrier--a must have!
This product is amazing. I used it for my cat's first airplane ride. I received it 2 wks before our trip so my cat could get comfortable with it. The inside is spacious and comfortable. There's an outside pocket that is big enough to store paperwork, treats, a bottle of catnip spray, etc. There's a double mesh on the back side. I was able to put catnip in a sock for her and leave it in the protection of the double mesh so if my cat had an accident inside the carrier, the sock and catnip would not get wet. My cat slept soundly and comfortably in her Sherpa Duffle Carrier for two long plane rides. I think she feels very safe in it. I had no problems with getting my cat on the plane. I've heard horror stories of people having to take a cab to the nearest pet store to get the right carrier size for their pet. All airlines accept Sherpa with no question.
