Small Dog Carriers - Sherpa

From a gift came an idea, and then a commitment… I started Sherpa's Pet Trading Company when I was not able to find a pet carrier for my Lhasa Apso, Sherpa. I discovered that a stylish, functional, lightweight carrier didn't exist. My goal was to create a product and a procedure for people to travel comfortably with their small companions. So, I designed and photographed my product and Sherpa and I went to work. The inspiration had begun. Having over 20 years of experience working with airlines, I knew how unsettling it could be to have to travel with your precious pets and not have them by your side. I set out to change that.

My crowning success is having the major airlines change their policy regarding pets in the cabin. The Sherpa Bag is now the officially approved soft-sided carrier for in-cabin use on the following airlines: Air Canada, Alaska, American, America West, Continental, Delta, Northwest, TWA, United and US Airways.

The Sherpa Bag is recommended for use by veterinarians, the ASPCA, the Delta Society, Humane Society, and many four-footed customers
