| Recommendation for Carrier for 2 Hi everyone. I'm thinking of getting a little sister for Miss Itzel in a few months and I decided to start planning. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good carrier that will fit 2 doggies that will probably be about 4 pounds each and that is airline approved? I saw the AKC Sherpa carrier and it looks pretty cool. It has a partition that can be removed. But I don't know if the carrier, when divided, will give enough space to fit 2 babies comfortably. Thanks for the recommendations.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have the medium Pet Flys carrier and all 3 of mine can fit in it but it is tight. It is great with one or two of them in it. Mine are 5 and 4 lbs.

| Thanks for the recommendation. I wanted one with a little more width to it and that smashes down a bit. I think the Pet Flys aren't able to be flattened out, are they? Just in case it doesn't fit from the top. The last thing I want is to have to put my babies in cargo. But I found 2 that I was wondering if anyone has any experience using them. One is the Sherpa AKC double carrier: Sherpa Akc Double Pet Carrier 19 x 11 x 11.5 Inches The other is the Pet Voyage carrier: Walmart.com: Pet Voyage Sport Pet Carrier, Blue: Dogs I was going to get the large one in the Pet Voyage which gives an 11 inch width. The size that I can fit under the seat is 19 Length, 13 width, and 8 height. Which is why I wanted a soft sided carrier so that I can smash it down a bit. Although I think more than 8 inches in height might work, too. I took my Kwigy Bo before and it fit under the seat. I think I may have pushed it down a bit. I don't remember. It was over a year ago. I took the measurements of the under the seat fit from a carry on luggage that I have that fits under the seat perfectly and it's 8 inches in height laying down. Anyway, so if anyone has any recs on these 2 carriers or the pros and cons, please let me know. Thank you.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Yes the Petsfly is very rigid. I have a sherpa one I used for my wide bodied pom and she did fine in it. She was 12 lbs at her heaviest and it didn't give a lot of bottom support but with smaller dogs it should be fine.

| The Sherpa one states it will fit two pets up to 7 lbs so I am sure that would work!

| I have the small petflys carrier. I should think it could carry two of that size no problem. It isn't flimsy, but you could definitly push the top down to fit under a lower seat if you needed to. it doesn't have a metal frame or anything like that. It's pink and I've decided I absolutely can't use it for Tucker, so If you'd like to make me an offer please feel free I have everything that came with it, even the id tag, the extra carry strap (one so it's hand held and the other to put over your shoulder) the blanket that matches the interior, and even the original hang tag It's in perfect condition except for this weird little strap that is designed to hold the front flap half closed and half open. I don't know why anyone would ever use this strap to do this with the flap, but it got caught on something and is torn. You can see in the pics.
