5.0 out of 5 stars Two years strong!, August 16, 2007

I've had the medium-sized Sherpa bag for two years and I am very happy with it. My 12 pound cat fits well in this carrier and even has room to turn around. Also, kitty never overheats in there because it is well-ventilated.
For air travel:
All of the openings are zippered so there is no chance of a mid-flight, stealth cat escape (if you've traveled with a cat, you know what I mean.) It's easy to carry and I have never had trouble getting it on an airplane, though, it does stick out from under the seat a bit. Normally, it is my only carry-on because it has enough room in the extra zippered pockets for my wallet, tickets, a small towel, magazines and a book.

I must say, I was willing to pay this amount because I thought I was getting a better quality item. After a only a few weeks, this bag caved in and my puppy would no longer go into it. I tried several times and ways to fix it, but it would not stay up.
I contacted the company and they told me to "stuff it with wet towels and spray it heavily with starch..." are they kidding? Then I found a reference to this problem under their web site FAQ's. So, they are knowingly selling a defective item and expecting the customer to then fix it. They never responded to my second email... I could not return it because it had been used.

This is a company that does NOT stand behind it's products. I found a much less expensive one at target, and it works much better!

Do not waste the extra $ on this item.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent bag if you travel with pets, April 19, 2006

By 

Amalfi Coast Girl (Mid-Atlantic, USA) - See all my reviews

I have three of these for my three felines. Everyone in our family (cats and human parents) likes these bags. I can line up three of these bags in the second seat of my Suburban and seat belt everyone in for trips to the veterinarian.

I like that the cats feel secure in the bags. Be warned if you have intelligent animals you might want to tie the zippers together. One of my little Einstein's figured out how to use a claw to unzip the bag. We now use twist ties to secure the zippers. The zip ties work like a charm. Now the cats are securely in the bag.

The removable fleece-like pad is also nice in case the animal get scared, it is washable. For storage the bags fold flat and don't take up much room. When you are juggling luggage and cats the shoulder strap is quite handy.

We liked our bags so much that we recommend them to our brother-in-law for his poodle. He works for an airline and his dog flies in this bag with no problem. Please note, this bag is only suitable for in the aircraft, not in cargo.

If you travel with your pets I highly recommend this product. Out family has been very pleased with the purchases.
