They would, I believe, because it falls within their size parameters. Despite the fact that this is the carrier I ordered, I was sent one without wheels, which I returned without having used. I ultimately decided to purchase another.
I own four wheeled pet carriers. My three dogs are six years old, eleven years old, and sixteen years old. They accompany me on the plane, hiding beneath the seat. I believe the airline rule is that the animal's and carrier's combined weight cannot exceed 25 pounds, and the animal must be able to move around inside the carrier. I'm a big fan of wheeled carriers.
I don't recall, but I was accepted on Southwest.
No, I do not believe so. However, this is the only one that fits under the airplane seat, which is a must.
Selected User Reviews For Sherpa on Wheels Pet Carrier, Black (1 Carrier)
It will be a very tight fit if your dog weighs less than 20 pounds. I had another of their carriers that I carried around with me all the time, and my dog was quite at ease in it. However, I believe this one is shorter due to the rollers, which did not work for my dog, but I was able to use it. I made my own, using the will face and putting it in her regular carrier, which I use all the time, and it works perfectly.
The carrier's height is a little too short. I understand it's intended for travel, but I needed it to take a cat to the vet. Because my cat is too heavy for me to carry in a carrier, I decided that being on wheels would be more convenient. Obviously, the cat would be scared to be in a carrier in the first place, and adding the noise of the wheels didn't help matters. To get a cat used to being in a moving carrier, it would take some time.
Except for the fact that it was about 2 inches too long to fit under the airline seat, I liked everything about this product. It took a lot of squeezing to get it to fit, but it did.
It was ideal for taking my puppy on her first plane ride.
This is the third one I've bought (they simply wear out). I adore it - I only wish the sides had been a little more sturdy.
The product, as well as the delivery, were excellent.
