Hi All, Does anyone have a recommendation for a dog carrier on wheels? I ordered the Sherpa one but it was too large to fit under an airline seat. Maybe it is just me with a bad back but I find it nearly impossible to carry my Cavalier in a Sherpa throughout an airport and end up letting him walk until I am busted by security in the terminal. Any suggestions for easier transport?

However, there are instances when it is not always easy.......it is totally dependent on the personnel, especially the ones at the ticket counter. Usually, by the time you get past the ticket counter you're home free. But, I've had a couple of instances where there was a problem. One time it was at the New Orleans Airport. The ticket agent was new.....questioned carrying the dog in-cabin.....called someone else....they weren't sure either....called someone else. Then they all three "decided" that the dog could not stand up in the bag and, therefore, would not be allowed to fly in-cabin. I was flying first class and I cried and carried on as much as anyone. No way would they agree. They loaned me a crate and my dog had to fly in cargo.........what made matters worse was it was a connecting flight, so the dog had to be removed from one plane and taken to another. I did write and complain to the airline later and was sent a certificate for 10,000 miles toward my mileage club. Reason I'm giving details here is........I totally believe one should be as discreet as possible. There are always agents that are either uninformed or don't like dogs. I never, ever take the dog out of the bag except going through X-ray. If possible, at the ticket counter, try and quickly let them look at the bag if they ask and then move it behind the counter next to your feet.
