 Travel Bag
I have a Sherpa - 18" which we use to fly with Brady. He's 5 lbs but it is not too big. The airlines' rules state the dog has to be able to move around. We used it for our last Yorkie and he was about 6 1/2 pounds. I had previously bought one that looked like a back pack, but larger and one end was very low and he couldn't stand up in that end and it also has a bar across the top which had to be removed to get it under the seat. I wanted one with wheels but unless they are removeable the bag won't fit under the seat and I think that would be a pain in the neck to remove on the plane. The Sherpa has little flat "feet" and I bought some of those disks with adhesive bottoms that go under chair feet and stuck them to these little feet on the Sherpa and I would drag it along (don't do it home as they may scratch your floors). I took extras with me because sometimes if you go over a rough part one will come off but I think I am going to glue them on when we go away in a few weeks. If you want to know the name of them let me know as they are on the top shelf in the closet and I need to get to bed. We fly Delta because we have American Express and get the miles but they are now charging $150.00 ($300 round trip) each way for a dog under the seat. Delta only allows 2 animals on each flight so you have to check before you make your reservations to make sure you can take yours. Good Luck - Lorraine |
