I’m on the hunt for a new pet carrier for my dog. I had a small one that we used for a trip about two years ago, but he has grown out of it since then. We’ll be flying soon, and I need a carrier that fits the Delta main cabin under seat requirements, specifically 18 x 11 x 11. My dog weighs around 12 pounds. I’m looking for one that is expandable, so he has some extra space when we are at the airport, but I’ve seen comments saying that the sides can make the inside feel cramped when it’s not expanded. It’s also important that it has openings on three sides for ventilation. I’m busy with work, but I want my dog to be as comfortable as possible during our flight. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
I recently got a carrier that fits those dimensions! It’s expandable and has mesh on three sides, which really helps with airflow. My dog loves it. I think it’s called the Petmate Sky Kennel.

That sounds like a solid option. Does it compress well when you need to fit it under the seat?

I’ve heard good things about that one too. I think it’s a popular choice for travelers with pets.
I’ve been using the PetFusion carrier, and it’s been great. It’s also expandable and super comfy for my dog. The mesh sides allow for great ventilation, which is a plus for airport travel.

That sounds promising! Is it easy to carry around? I need something lightweight since I’ll be juggling a lot at the airport.

I think I’ve seen that one in stores. Does it fit comfortably under the seat?

I think it’s really important to make sure your dog feels safe during travel. Have you considered using familiar blankets or toys to help with that?
That’s a great idea! I’ll definitely bring along some of his favorite toys to keep him calm.
