Have Pet, Will Travel

Spotted: Kate Beckinsale toting her cute pooch all over London in an adorable brown carrier with pink trim. I don’t know what’s cuter: the dog or the bag. The carrier is an original deluxe by Sherpa, a pet owner’s must have, especially when it comes to travel. Sherpa is the leader in products that promote comfort and safety for pets traveling by car and air.

The brand was the “first to fly” and is the only pet travel company that offers a proprietary “Guaranteed on Board” program, which basically assures that you and your pet will not be denied boarding. The program partners with major airline carries. Speaking of major airlines, check out the exclusive carriers for American Airlines and Delta.

Their carriers are designed to promote the safety and comfort of your pet and you’ll also look great sporting it! All bags are roomy with cushiony bottoms and mesh panes on the side for ventilation.

There are many designs to choose from: backpacks, totes, and wheelers. Don’t let Kate’s puppy fool you – the bag isn’t just for dogs. In fact, if you’re a cat lover, the Just for Cats carriers might be just for you – or your cat. My top pick is the Pop Tote, a carrier that collapses to become a convenient carry case. The bag comes in two colors – grey and pink with an adorable flowered pattern.

Another favorite is their Classic Carrier. The legacy pattern sports a plaid in hues of brown and tan and goes with anything. For a classic look, you can always be safe and go black, perfect for the back seat of the limo. The bags feature top and side entries and comfortable shoulder straps.

Sherpa carriers come in three different sizes: small for pets lighter than 8 lbs, medium for pets under 16 lbs, and large for pets up to 22 lbs.
