FAQs
Is this carrier airline-approved?
Yes, it is approved for use on most major airlines and is included in the Sherpa Guaranteed on Board program.
Can I wash the entire bag in a machine?
Only the faux lambskin liner is machine washable. The exterior of the bag should be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your pet while standing and lying down to ensure they can turn around inside the carrier, and cross-reference these dimensions with the specific airline's pet policies.
Does the carrier have a shoulder strap?
Yes, it includes a padded, adjustable no-slip strap for comfortable carrying.
Are the zippers lockable?
The carrier features locking zippers to prevent pets from opening the entry points from the inside.
Troubleshooting
Carrier is slightly too tall for the under-seat space
Use the patented spring wire frame feature to gently press the rear of the carrier down until it fits under the seat profile.
Zippers are feeling stiff or difficult to close
Check the zipper track for pet hair or fabric debris and wipe the track clean to ensure smooth movement.
Pet is uncomfortable or restless inside
Ensure the lambskin liner is properly positioned and consider placing a familiar-smelling item or toy inside to help your pet settle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the carrier is straightforward: simply insert the support panels and ensure the spring wire frame is properly seated. Before flying, always verify your airline's specific pet carrier dimensions, as these can vary significantly between carriers and aircraft types.
For care, remove the faux lambskin liner and machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water; air drying is recommended to maintain the texture of the fabric. The exterior of the bag can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Periodically check the zippers and straps to ensure they are free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
