I just received this Sherpa pet carrier for an upcoming flight. Although it is well designed and built, it is much smaller than advertised. The dimensions that are listed are the exterior dimensions and not the interior dimensions. The problem is that the wheels that from underneath and pad inside of the carrier take up 2.5 inches of room. And the exterior length is an inch shorter than listed. Not bad if your pet is smaller than those measurements, but important to consider when buying. I am going to opt for a carry model by sherpa instead of the wheeled version. The larger wheeled version is pushing the limits of the recommended size by the airlines (and is not in stock anyhow). Well built, nice looking and an instant hit for my pooch, but just to confining for her size. My Papillion is 11' high and under 9 pounds with a length of 16". I measured 17" long x 11" wide by 8" tall on the interior.
Sherpa On-Wheels Pet Carrier - Medium

I've had no problems with this product tipping over. There are many places to hook the tow-strap, so perhaps the other reviewer here chose a poor location. I prefer the top left and right rings on the end with the wheels that swivel, and lifting that end only a tiny bit, if at all. That keeps the center of gravity low. The other alternative is to hook it to the top middle loops on the front and back , and pull it like a suitcase, but dragging on the ground.

The back end has fixed wheels, so this is like pulling a grocery cart. Big wheels makes it ride very smoothly.

It has a high-density foam handle on the strap that is pretty comfortable. Has lots of pockets, and comes with a leak-proof bed "tray" that slides out. For easy cleaning. The 2 fuzzy liners hook on with velcro to dissuade vigorous diggers.

The medium claims to carry up to 16 pound pets.

It can be configured with the sides solid or just the mesh. It has a solid bottom board so it doesn't fold or scrunch up when you pick it up.

Trivia: Sherpa is the name of the product owner's dog.

I love this bag...I just bought it for a flight to NY with my 9.5 lb toy poodle and we had no problems whatsoever...I'm not sure if many people even knew that I had a dog on the flight. I started letting him get used to the bag several weeks before the flight so when I zipped him up inside at the airport he was fine.Wheeling him around the airport was so convenient. I also wheeled him all over Manhattan in it...he loves it. I open the top when possible and he sits in it and sightsees...people were taking his picture along with the Empire State Building and Time Square...lol. So glad that I bought this bag.

No matter how small the pet or how slow you walk it has a tendency to just flip over onto it's side. If it would stay straight up it's wonderful. Easy to use, light-weight, privacy flaps all around, extra doors, roomy and comfortable. My dog loves to just jump inside and sit or sleep (like her own private den) but, only as long as the wheels are off.

Excellent pet carrier. 100% satisfied. Took my 7 lb dog on a trip and he was perfectly comfortable in this amazing carrier. The vendor for this carrier is simply the best! I had called the vendor for questions and she was definately the most helpful person I've encountered in a long time! This was a pleasurable transaction, Thank You so much!

well made, but really too small for most of our cats. our most docile cat was ok, but the others seemed to get frantic. one even broke out through the zippers while in the car.

I bought two of these for a recent airline trip across the country. We were on 4 different planes, and it fit great under all seats. Check with airline first. We encountered flight delays on our return, and the dogs were in the carriers for a total of 14 hours. They weren't uncomfortable at all. And I was able to wheel them around with great ease. They're well balanced and easy to maneuver. There's also a place to put small packet of food, disposable water bowl, etc. Truly one of the best investments I'll ever make, and made it a breeze to travel with my dogs. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, so long as I had this carrier.

I used to carry my dog on the regular medium bag. Now she LOVES being rolled around airports. And this bag is a little bigger than the other type so she is even more comfortable inside! Great product for your traveling dog!
