📦 Best Pet Carriers 2025

"My 17lb mini schnauzer hates crates and carriers so I was REALLY nervous flying with him across the country.l searched all of Amazon and Chewy for the perfect doggie carrier and reluctantly decided on this one (TBH my expectations were really low because I wasn’t 100% sold on ANY carrier). However, ..."

"This is a great carrier. I also own the Sherpa on wheels and this one is far superior. This carrier is roomier and very lightweight. It is also built sturdier than the Sherpa. The zippers and fabric are much more substantial. The wheels turn on a dime and are very easy to attach/detach. It is ..."

"I absolutely loved this carrier, and so did my two cats. They each traveled 13 hours in these and did amazing. They had lots of space and looked really comfortable the whole time. The material feels high-quality, it’s sturdy, and it’s super easy to clean, which I really appreciated. Super easy assem..."

"This carrier worked perfectly for flying my 14-year old, 16-pound Westie from San Diego to Milwaukee (and back) during the Thanksgiving holiday. We flew US Airways and despite the large size being slightly bigger than required dimensions, we had zero problems whatsoever. Here are a few answers to qu..."

"I have two cats I plan to fly with soon to move across country. So I bought this one and another that's similar. Side by side they are nearly identical in size, but this one has higher expansion on top and two expansions on the side, versus just one side expansion on the other. The material is a lit..."

"This is a well designed and sturdy cat carrier. My 10 pound cat is very suspicious of carriers, but I left this one out and open for three weeks, and the other day, he just jumped in through the top and went to sleep for four hours.The bed is soft and comfortable with a washable cover and a rigid bo..."

"Perfect for flying! I used it to pick up my new puppy from out of state. She’s an 8 week old Airedale Terrier so not a small puppy, but there was plenty of room. We flew Frontier and it fit under the seat. The vents on all sides provide a little air flow. The expanded top was awesome!"

"I purchased this in June of 2021 and waited until now, February of 2022, to write this review (I wanted to really test it out and see how it held up) and I’m pleased to say I absolutely love this carrier! Keep in mind the attached photos are current so pardon any soil/hair you may see but I wanted t..."

"Very happy with this purchase. Used this to take a cat on a flight. Carrier is well made. Met airline specifications and fit perfecly under the seat on the plane. Has good ventilation on all sides. I particularly like that it has an opening at the top rather than just the front. Definitely for..."

"Cute and functional, and my cat loves to take naps in here sometimes. He also likes to play around it and scratch at it and the material seems to be holding up."

"I reviewed another style of this same sherpa carrier--it's my 'go to' since I know that the two airlines I have flown with this carrier I've never had problems. On Delta and American Airlines, the carrier with Bear inside fits under the seat in front of me. A few trips ago, I began buying the upgrad..."

"This was a great pet carrier. I had to take my puppy on the plane so I got this one to try out. He fit good in it, it’s best for small puppies and cats. He grew out of it quickly but now we just use it for our cat. It fit airline requirements and has good ventilation all around to keep your animal c..."

"This product was a "life-saver" for my wife and I as we recently traveled via Delta and needed to bring our small dog along. I've never done that before so I did not know where to start. In doing research I found the Sherpa Delta Pet Carriers and looked into them. This product which we bought fit..."

"This is much much nicer than the nearly $100++ carriers. I promise you-my YES 2 uses. I use this for my cat and we’ve never had a problem so purchased another of the same one. This even has a luggage trolley strap people- for all you brave souls that travel with your “FurKid” . This is reasonably pr..."

"This is the BEST carrier. I have a long cat and she fits in it very well. She is 15 pounds and this was perfect. I really appreciate how the top of this is expandable and pops up like a tent, so she can easily sit up on our layover, and it unzips and opens easily for me to pet and comfort her on thi..."

"I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this because my husband & I travel a lot, & I didn’t want something that was flimsy or uncomfortable for our yorkie. This carrier is very well made & I really appreciate the wheels are extremely simple to quickly remove & store in the overhead compartment ..."

"This is a great carrier! It’s functional and attractive. I wanted a carrier with one expansion side. The first one I ordered (different brand) had an extra flap between the body of the carrier and the expansion, so the cat couldn’t actually reach the expansion unless I opened up the bag to reach my ..."
