I’m curious about them being able to stand and turn. Even my little one is tall. (Cats)
Hi, this video was super informative. You mention that the Katziela is scratch and bite proof – is that based on your experience with an especially determined pet? I flew recently with my cat and she managed to bite through the mesh and broke the zipper on the carrier we had and I’m looking for a replacement. My poor girl unfortunately hates the plane – she’s perfectly fine travelling to the airport and walking around in the airport, but she’s stressed out during the flight itself and tries nonstop to break out of the carrier. I even tried taking her to the bathroom so she could be out of the carrier for a bit but it didn’t help her relax. During our last flight we gave her a sedative (gabapentin) and we sprayed her carrier with pheromone spray, but neither seemed to make much of a difference, if at all. We unfortunately need something very tooth and claw proof, preferably that she wouldn’t hurt herself on.
Don’t the airlines look at the larger ones and reject them (as you’re trying to catch a flight) even though they are flexible and do fit under the seat?
I’m about to fly with my dog for the second time. He’s only 13 lbs and scrawny, but has super long legs. He fits in the carrier I have and can turn around, but can’t stand all the way up. I’m so worried they will tell me he can’t fly.
Any recommendations for Southwest Airlines? Seems to be 17×9.5×10 on the smaller side of what you have recommended so far 🙁
Hello I’m looking to adopt a dog but we travel all the time. What’s the best brand? We are thinking of an Italian greyhound, what do you think?
Do you get paid for delivering animals?
Awesome video. We were really struggling to find a big bag for our pup until we saw this. Really hope you can help with the below.
We are flying copa airline which is 18x11x11 requirement.
Is it more likely to pass check-in inspection by having a bag that confirms to the airline dimensions, but the dog looks cramped inside. or instead have an oversized bag that is beyond the airline limits like the Katziela where our dog looks much more comfortable.
Our cavapoo dog’s height to shoulder is 14 inches, length is 18inches.
Do you think a full grown pompski would fit in the kaziela? She’s about 23 lbs
Hi Amanda. I have a Cavapoo should be around 14lbs and I travel mostly with JetBlue. I have never traveled in cabin with a dog and I am a bit nervous about which carrier I should buy for my dog that will be big enough for my dog and JETBLUE will let me use. Any suggestions please?
Great video
Will Allegiant allow the large sherpa?
I’ve been doing some reading. My dog fits the airlines requirements but he is 10 years old and although in good health I’ve read older dogs often die in flights, is it safe to flight w your dog in cabin?
Too much talking!!
i ordered the sherpa for my pomsky 17lb 17 length around 11 height i hope it fits 🙁
We love Mr. Peanuts carriers, and yes, have flown twice with an 18 lb cat. No issues at all.
Hello! Thank you for this video it’s very helpful. I have a random question. Have you been asked for vaccine records on AA ?
Amanda, thanks for the great informacion. I want to get a carrier bag for my dachshund 15.5 pounds. Which one do you recommend me for my dachshund? My dachshund is kinda long 17 inches.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Thank you *so* much!!
Thank you!!❤
Please help!! My dog is 10lbs. She is an Italian greyhound/chihuahua mix. So her height, because of her legs is around 16"-17" my fear is she cannot stand, or turn around in a carrier like you’re showing here? I bought her one that allows her to stand & turn around in? But exceeds the height of underneath the front seat? I’m looking move back home cross country on a One Way flight in a 4 1/2 hour trip? What do you advise me? Thanx🩷

Amanda, are you saying that altho the dimensions of the katziela carrier exceed United’s requirement, they will allow this onboard because it is so flexible?
Thanks for the information. This video is helpful for airline travel only, but what about car safety? None of those are certified or tested for car safety. Can you please make a video about pet carriers that are crash tested and certified for car travel as well as airline compliant? This would be super helpful because pets need to travel safely in cars too.
I loved your video ❤️
It’s really helpful for people like us.
What carrier should I use in United Ailines international flight for my Shihtzu? It would be really kind if you could suggest. Thanks & Regards
I’m screwed…..my huskies are 55-60lbs
Wow, thank you!!
Anyone have experience flying on Allegiant? Their dimensions are 9”H x 16”W x 19”D for a carrier which nobody appears to even make one that dimension.
My puppy is tall…..
Good video, but she should have included prices.
My boston Terrier, she’s 25lbs. im traveling in November with her to Puerto Rico. What’s a good tsa approved bag for her please help.
Hi, thanks for your video. Have you ever tried Ruff Life 101 Airline Approved Expandable Premium Pet Carrier on Wheels? I choose this one over the Katziella
Hi Iam not sure how often you check comments (or if viewers have suggestions) but I am on the struggle bus as I unfortunately have no choice but to fly frontier and they require an 18x14x8 carrier which does not exist sadly. Have you ever had to fly Frontier and if so or ehat carrier would you recomend? ty for your time
What a GREAT video, so full of wonderful information! Thanks so much! I loved the Sherpa Deluxe, but I also loved the wheeled capability of the Katziela Luxury Pet Carrier. I’ve never flown with a pet before and the thought of trying to carry the pet carrier (my dog weighs 17 lbs) on one shoulder plus steer my suitcase through an airport…oh, and my purse too (maybe on the other shoulder), yegads, talk about daunting! Is that how you travel or do you have another secret for easier transport through the airport? Can the Sherpa Deluxe come with wheels and a handle? I so appreciate any suggestions you can offer–I would be traveling by myself with my dog.
Hey Amanda- thanks for this video- I know you were talking about US flights but do you know anything about flying in cabin on WestJet by chance. My dog is 20 pounds and their carrier size is very small but I have read that the large sherpa will fit under the seat.
I have two bostonterrier and they are about 24pound each. I might move back to my country Ohio to Japan. Do you recommend which air line is the best and what route is best for my dogs?
What is the best tsa approved pet carrier with removable wheels for a French Bulldog?
Thank you for this video. I am bringing a pup back from Sicily to the US in June flying Lufthansa and United. I am debating between the Katziela Bone Cruiser and the Sherpa carriers. Pup will be 11-13 lbs and 10-12 inches talk to the top of the head. Do you have a recommendation between the two? Thank you
It seems everyone is too short for my small Shiba (18 pounds) to stand up
Wonderful advice thank you! I have a question I’m getting ready to take my chihuahua/daschind mix from France to America. On Air France’s website it says the carriers size limits are 18 x 11 x 9 1/2 inches * and I’ve found several carriers close to that size but nothing that tiny. The dog is within the weight limit and she’s small, do you think they’ll still accept her? Thanks x
Your large bags won’t be allowed on planes… so you are not honest about getting past the attendant. So need to make a disclaimer.
I am flying on FRONTIER next month with my 20 pound pug (putting him on a diet so he will weigh less), but the carrier limits are 14x18x ONLY 8 ‘ HEIGHT. I am very nervous about that. If they say the pet needs to be able to stand up and turn around, that will never happen at 8".
Thank you for the information, Have you ever used the Soutwest brand carrier?
Flying a 10 week old Samoyed from US Mainland to Hawai’i (yes, we’ll then end up in a 2-3 month quarantine). We’ll only use carrier once (for this trip). What would you recommend?
Hi Amanda, sorry to ask again…is the Burgeon Nest large too big? She fits inside the medium but not much room to turn around and her head its the top a little when she’s sitting up. I don’t know if it’s better to have it longer as with the Sherpa but she can’t sit up or the taller one? She is very stressed being inside. Believe me I’ve tried to get her use to carriers! Thank you very much !
So basically as long as can can squish into the required dimensions I will be fine? I just adoped a dog and she will probably be around 15pounds, but I am freaking out because the dimension required for the bag is not supposed to be taller then 20cm (7.5inches) but i think this is super small.
Hi Amanda, I bought the sherpa deluxe beautiful but I think it might be better a litte taller, length is fine a little shorter would be okay i think if necessary.The Burgeon Nest you recommended does it squish down enough for the the large. Or would the medium work? Flying internationally on Alaska air..I am moving so I have to make my flight…any thoughts? Thank you so much, J
I have the wild one carrier and tbh it is such a pain to try and get the dog back in and zip up quickly after TSA in a rush….
Hi Amanda, I love this video. Thank you for doing this video, it gave me an idea where to start searching for a carrier. I was wondering have you ever used the Sherpa Deluxe size large on an American Eagle flight operated by AA? Have you had any push back? I got the Sherpa Deluxe size large and I love how springy and roomy it is. My Maltipoo is 11 lbs but per his body type seems to fit best in size large rather than medium. Thanks in advance.
Thank you Amanda for all you help and expertise!
Thanks for the great video. Flying Alaska airlines to Hawaii. Are either of these ok for my 10 pound Chihuahua?
