| It looks heavy even with no pup or pups inside. Try to get one that is as light in weight as possible as - remember - you will be carrying it for long periods of time and it can get tiring! I bought a very lightweight one at PetSmart and Tessa (5.8 lbs.) loves it and I can carry it as a shoulder bag with her in it. Just consider the final weight and how much you can carry around, which I am sure you have. |

| I am also shopping for a carrier for flying. You might try looking at the Sleepy Pod Air, Petsfit Comfort, Celltei pet carrier and at Midnight Pass Pet Products. I can't decide which one I want to go with for 2 Yorkies but the Sleepy Pod Air looks like it might offer the most room.

| Carrier The carrier is on wheels, so should not be an issue for long hauls. Sherpa carriers are very nice and ok for airline use. You might need too big a carrier for airline cabin use if your pets are not very small. Also do they allow two pets in one carrier? I don't know. |

| Carrier That is good news if you can put two dogs in together The info says the Sherpa you refer to holds up to a 16 LB dog, so hope you have less than that between them. Happy flying! |

| There are different rules for each airline. The following website will give you a good idea/guideline of what to expect when flying in cabin with your pups. U.S. airline pet policies for in-cabin travel » Dog Jaunt

| The one I'm actually looking at is the one for 22 pounds because they both fit comfortably in it. I'm just not sure what I want. |

| I would suggest the Sherpa too I have one for Yoshi it's very light weight. I'm bossed with the should strap helps a a lot when you are traveling it leaves your hand free. I know they are Aline line approved as well! I don't think though you can have 2 dogs in one but I might be wrong most defiantly u would contact they airline as I have found that different ones have different regulations. I would also check on amazon they have a lot of carries to choose from and it nice because in the description they tell you the weight of the carrier. Also a a little tip cat carriers work too and they tend to be much cheaper

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I just bought tickets to bring two yorkies home - both under 6 months on Delta and they let me put them in one bag for one charge. Some airlines will not let you carry both dogs in one bag after they get a certain age. Just didn't know if you knew that and wanted to share.
