Customer Experience and Opinions

 Perfect for guinea pigs...but not exactly "large", March 07 ,2010
A. Stone believes that:
I picked this carrier as a comfortable alternative to the plastic carriers for my two guinea pigs. I needed something practical and comfortable when traveling (guinea pigs are prone to stress...the plastic ones aren't really soft enough so when they jump around they can hurt themseleves).

I'm giving this carrier 5 stars because it is perfect for me and my purpose, but I don't know that it would be perfect for anybody else using it for its intended animals (dogs and cat's not 2-pound guinea pigs). The large is a good size for my pigs, they have some space to waddle around and can both stretch out with room to spare. However, unless I was going on a very short trip (like to the vet) I wouldn't want to put my cat in there - she is an average sized cat, certainly not overweight or excesively large, and I really don't think she would have any space at all.

I would reccomend this carrier for a small dog or cat (toy chihauha, tea cup yorkie, kitten, munchkin cat, etc) but anything normal-cat-sized or larger is definitely going to need a bigger carrier.

 It doesn't work for my dog - she climbs right out!, March 02 ,2010
K. Williams (Denver, CO) believes that:
My dog is a boston terrier chihuahua mix. I picked this carrier because of the price and size, as well as the visibility and seat belt options. Unfortunately though, I have barely used it. My dog doesn't like it much, as it is a bit cramped for her height. She is 14lbs and an inch or so too tall. more problematic is that it is too easy for her to get out. She climbs right out of the partial opening and there is nothing to attach a harness to so that she can't climb out. It works ok if I don't unzip the side, but I was looking for something that had this option so that she wasn't so confined. Also, it would be much better if there were a top entrance in addition to the side. Overall, the bag looked nice and was well constructed, but it just wasn't very practical.

 Thank You Comfortable Pet Carrier, February 15 ,2010
My Miche Bag Lady (LasVegas, Nevada) says:
Thank you for the Pet Carrier. It was a great price and arrived in record time! My Mini Dashound, Patches, was very comfortable on her flight and well protected. She is quite the character though. We both fell asleep, so I thought, and I was awoken by the Flight Attendant holding her telling me she was entertaining the passengers as she had gotten out. It was very funny, as she is a little sweetie. I know now how to properly secure the zippers. Thank you again.

 Awkward handles, March 02 ,2010
Reformed lazy cook (Los Angeles, CA) thinks:
I bought this carrier last year for my 8.5lb cat. I like that it is top-opening, as it's very easy to get the cat in and out without getting bitten or scratched.

However, the handles are positioned a bit awkwardly; once the cat is inside, the basket swings a bit when you are carrying it. If the handles were wider-set, it would be more stable. Perhaps it is because my cat is fairly small, and moves around once inside the carrier?

Overall a pretty nice carrier that gets a LOT of compliments. However, I'm still planning to get a traditional kennel for my other cat, who prefers a side-entry type carrier.

 IRIS PET CARRIER, February 14 ,2010
Glenda P. Jones (TACOMA, WA) thinks that:
tHIS IS A GREAT LITTLE CARRIER. eASY TO DEPOSIT MY VERY RELUCTANT PSYCHO KITTY; EASY TO CARRY; CUTE. i WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR A HUGE CAT--NOT THAT ROOMY. bUT JUST RIGHT FOR AVERAGE CAT. vERY PLEASED WITH IT. gLENDA jONES.

 Very nice and unusual but attractive carrier., February 01 ,2010
Brenda Russell (Columbus, Oh USA) thinks:
This carrier is shaped like and looks like a basket. It seems to
be very sturdily made. I get complemented on it every time I
use it. Interior is not very large so is better for a medium to small
cat or dog.

Customer Experience and Opinions

 Does NOT meet airline standards, February 17 ,2010
Konrad Haskins (Seattle Area) says that:
19"L x 14"W x 8.25"H is the measurements straight off the Southwest website. This is for window and isle seats. Middle Seat: 19"L x 19"W x 8.25"H. I don't know how they can make the false claim that this is airline approved.

 As advertised!, February 13 ,2010
Mary M. Desalvo (Northern Kentucky, USA) reveals:
This is the 2nd Sherpa I've purchased and this one wins hands-down! Love the flaps on both ends - really helps with air circulation. The velco on the rigid bottom/fleecy pad go a long way to keeping things straight.

Best of all are the rigid stabilizers running along the top - my old Sherpa continually collapsed on my dog - bad news for both of us.

I'd highly recommend this model!

 Fell apart after 12 trips, February 12 ,2010
Carey C. Sutton (Cozumel Mex and Orange County CA) says:
Good bag and just the right size for my 8 lb larger than average toy poodle. Good design. However, after 12 trips one of the rods of the top frame worked loose and now just hangs down unless I zip up the bag around it. This is from having to jam it just a bit to make it ooch under the Continental airline seat I guess. But they should have made that stronger. I'm trading up to the Legacy bag of the same size. I sincerely hope it lasts longer than this one did.

Design is good in terms of being airy, etc. but the top problem is definitely an issue.
