Airplane Travel: Dog Carrier - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Does anyone travel with the dog on the airlines~? What brand of bag do you all use when you travel with your dog~? Southwest has one that looks like a lunch box and I just don't like it, but theirs will fit under the seat. There are websites that sell them that say "airline friendly carriers" but they don't meet the requirements of size for Southwest or American. I appreciate any info anyone has.

I have a Bergan bag that I bought many years ago that is pretty reliable. Perfect size for carry on and slides perfectly under the seat!

I have a SturdiBag - they're flexible. I've used it before & am using it again tomorrow.

Works great!

I'm bumping this post cause I never received any notifications on it. Maybe the ones y'all use have been okay, but what I've found locally and online does not meet the specifications.

I took a Southwest flight a few years ago and used a Sherpa bag. It was perfect. Original Deluxe | Sherpa Pet

The Sherpa bags I found at Petsmart and other pet stores were not the same in dimensions as this link you sent to me. The height is where the issue was at. I recently got one from Southwest since it meets their requirements. I wasn't crazy about it looking at it online, but he got to test it out and he fits. The inside bottom is plastic or something, so they told me I could put a blanket. I just didn't want to get one online and I would be told on-board that I couldn't take him.

When you all have traveled with your pets, did you all need to get a health certificate from your Vet ~?

Sherpa is the Best, hands down

It really is~! I HAD to get one recently cause the airlines I was taking would not match the sizes I had from the Southwest bag. Dang they are expensive. It would be nice if all the airlines would have one size instead of different sizes~!

Has anyone used the Sherpa on Wheels~? Will that work for only certain airlines~?

I bought the one with wheels,by a different brand but quickly exchanged it for a different one. The one I had with wheels could be used as a backpack or like a normal carryon with wheels. My Capone is used to being in a purse/bag, but putting him in a bag with wheels was not a pleasent experience for him.
