Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This carrier is excellent! I highly recommend for anyone traveling with a small dog. First, the dimensions of this bag are not correct on the Amazon site, they are: 18" D x 11" W x 10.5" H, Weight: 3.09 - this is from the Sherpa's Pet Trading Company ([...]).
I used this bag to pick up my 9 week old Shih Tzu. He was 3.5 pounds at the time and fit very easily in the carrier. I was able to fit him, a blanket, two toys and he still had plenty of room to move around.
I flew on two Delta airplanes and the carrier fit easily under the compartment in front of me, however it did stick out a little. It is a little long, but still complies with Delta regulations. Sherpa makes a "Delta approved" pet carrier, this Legacy Pattern bag is the exact same size as the Delta Approved bag - I even called the Sherpa Pet Company to confirm. The bag is not too wide, so you can place your feet on either side of the carrier.
I called Delta a few times to get the dimensions allowed for a soft kennel, carry-on bag. It took a few people to get a consistent answer. The size of the soft kennel for carry-on changes with the airplane you are on, so be sure to call to make sure the carrier is appropriate.
The bag is nicely ventilated and you have the option to cover up the sides of the carrier with the flaps. This feature is really nice to keep from over stimulating your puppy while moving around the airport. The flaps are easy to use, so when on the flight, they can be up for more air circulation. Other bags I have looked at do not seem to have a good amount of air ventilation.
The bag is extremely cute, I have received many compliments on it. Most people had no idea I was carrying a puppy. Also, there are two really nice compartments on the bag - one ideal for papers and the other for small things you may need on the plane.
As for the strength of bag, I cannot comment too much on that. My puppy slept almost the entire trip (7 hour total travel time), so he never tried to claw or bite at the mesh paneling. The bag weighed more than my puppy, but was comfortable to carry using the shoulder strap.
I highly recommend this bag if you are looking for a nice quality, doesn't scream "I have a pet" bag to use for airplane travel.
