The Sherpa Pet Carrier On Wheels

I get a lot of questions about Sherpa Pet Carriers these days.  They continue to be the most popular item on my website, so I thought I would dig into each different item and try to answer the most asked questions about each in an informative post.  Today, I will discuss the Sherpa on Wheels.  This Sherpa Pet Carrier is one of the handiest carriers that Sherpa makes.  It resembles the Roll Up carrier but has a detachable handle and wheels to make it very handy for traveling.  The great thing about it, is that you wouldn't even know it has wheels if you didn't look.  It is great to tote around like a regular bag style carrier as well.  The Sherpa on Wheels comes in two sizes Medium and Large.  As of yet, I have not heard of anyone who has not been able to take a medium sized Sherpa on Wheels on the airline with them.  I can honestly say that I have received no feedback about traveling with the Large sized carrier on an airline.  Obviously as I have posted many times and other blogs have too, be sure to check with the specific airline first.  Also, check out the "Guaranteed on Board" program Sherpa offers.  Many people worry about the dimensions as sometimes the Sherpa Carriers are a bit larger than the airline specifies, but as an airline pilot as my other profession, these carriers are soft sided and can be formed to fit under the seat in front of you.  The airlines have no problem with this and that is why Sherpa has been allowed to implement the "Guaranteed on Board" program with a outstanding success.  I am not an official authority, but the dimensions given for carriers are hard set for hard sided carriers, but can be stretched a bit if a soft sided carrier will mold to fit under the seat.  Everyone who has purchased a medium sized Sherpa on Wheels or other Medium Sherpa Pet Carrier from me has been allowed on board and aircraft.  I would like to hear more information about larges, and the Sherpa program will be a better source than I when it comes to that.  All in all, these are great wheeled carriers and very comfortable for your pet.
