1. Sherpa on Wheels
- Its wheels and pull strap
- 4 mesh ventilation panels
- Part of the Guaranteed on Board program (Airline Approved)
- 1-year warranty
What you need to know
What makes the Sherpa on Wheels carrier better than other carriers is its wheels. There’s nothing worse than lugging around your heavy Frenchie for hours at the airport. Its adjustable shoulder strap can be converted into a padded pull handle.
It’s available in two sizes, medium and large, but your Frenchie is probably going to need the larger size. If your Frenchie is extra-large, this carrier might not work for you. My 24lb Frenchie was too big to fit in this one. There used to be an extra large model of this carrier but it’s since been discontinued.
Its dimensions are 21” L x 12.25” W x 10.5” H which is enough for Frenchies up to 22 pounds. It is also a part of the Guaranteed on Board program, and if you are denied boarding you will receive a full refund.
It’s ventilated on all four sides which are perfect for keeping your Frenchie at a comfortable temperature.

What you need to know
For the beefier Frenchies that are just too big for other carriers, you’ll be glad to hear that this carrier can safely carry up to 50 pounds! This one fits my Frenchie perfectly.
Its flexible design lets the height of the carrier be “smooshed” down so that it’ll fit under the seat in front of you at the expense of a little headroom. It will retain its original shape so your Frenchie will have tons of room to be comfortable!
It’s also made with durable 600 denier polyester (a strong, durable fabric) that will remain intact even with the biggest Frenchies. It comes in** 10 different colors** so your Frenchie can stay stylish even while traveling.
