18" L x 11" W x 11" H

Here's how to quickly measure your dog to ensure the perfect fit.


What You'll Need

  • A soft measuring tape (or a piece of string and a ruler)

  • A flat surface

  • A cooperative pup (treats help!)


1. Measure Back/Shoulder Height

This is the height from the floor to the top of your dog’s back or shoulders (also called the withers) while they’re standing.

  • This is the key measurement to determine whether your dog can stand comfortably inside the carrier.

  • The Air Pup Travel Carrier has an interior height of 11 inches.

  • We recommend your dog be 8 inches or shorter at the shoulder for a comfortable fit.


2. Measure Full Height (Optional)

This is the height from the floor to the top of your dog’s head or ears, whichever is taller.

  • This helps you visualize your dog’s overall size, but it’s not critical for determining fit—since dogs tend to lower their heads while inside the carrier.


3. Measure Body Length

Measure from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail (not the end of the tail).

  • The interior length of the carrier is 18 inches, so dogs up to that length should be able to lie down comfortably.

  • Keep in mind that a slightly snug fit is okay for short travel times.


4. Measure Shoulder Width

Measure across the shoulders at the widest point.

  • The carrier's interior width is 11 inches, so dogs with shoulders up to 5.5 inches wide can typically turn around inside with ease.


Quick Fit Summary Size Guide

Dogs slightly under these measurements will have the most comfortable experience inside the carrier.

Does It Fit? You're Cleared for Takeoff!

If your dog’s measurements fall within the Maximum Recommended ranges listed above, you’re good to go! The Air Pup Travel Carrier is ready to keep your pup safe, stylish, and comfortable on every journey.

Perfect for Air Travel – Made Flying from Utah to California a Breeze!

I just recently flew from Utah back to California with my dog, and the Air Pup Travel Carrier made the entire experience so much easier! My pup was comfortable and secure throughout the journey, from check-in through landing, which gave me tremendous peace of mind.

The carrier is incredibly well-designed for air travel. It meets airline requirements perfectly and is sturdy enough to protect my dog while providing excellent ventilation. It fit seamlessly under the seat, and I could easily check on my pup during the flight without disturbing other passengers.

The Wasatch Pup treats were lifesavers too! They kept my dog calm and happy during the airport wait and helped make the whole travel experience much less stressful for both of us.

If you're planning to fly with your furry companion, I can't recommend this carrier enough. It transformed what I thought would be an anxious travel day into a smooth, worry-free experience. Absolutely worth the investment!

Fits Perfect!

The carrier fits right under my seat every time! I open up one side after so my 6 pound poodle has more room! The wheels going through the airport made traveling a breeze.

You won’t find a better carrier! It feels so luxurious and well made

You won’t find a better carrier! It feels so luxurious and well made, and the roller cart is such a smart addition. Seriously—wow. I can’t say enough good things about it!

AN EXTRA HAND

I must tell you that this air carrier is the Ferrari of Dog Carriers! I knew nothing about air carriers and started to research them. Somehow, after looking at numerous products, I came across the Wasatch brand serendipitously. At first, I overlooked it because it was a bit more expensive than the others I saw...Well, it was worth every extra Penny! It is extremely well built and easy to operate and maneuver. Our dog, who has never traveled before, was very calm and comfortable in her new home. On this particular flight, we flew economy, and the Wasatch carrier was a lifesaver!! Just wanted to thank you for such a well-built, thought -out product.

Pros and cons

Love that I can finally stroll my dog around the airport! However, there was no instructions, which was frustrating, as it took me a while to figure out some things. Another thing is although it easier to stroll my dog, this carrier turns W I D E and it does get annoying and, makes it hard to control in crowded situations. It’s better than what I originally had so I’ll deal with it.
I’d say 6/10

Tight Fit but Necessary

My frenchi is pretty heavy so it was a tighter fit but since that is the airline maximum size we made it work just fine! Through the airport i connected him to the leash so he wouldn't jump and left the top open for his anxiety then during the flight I opened up the side facing me so he has more room. He seemed to like it and the wheels are a lifesaver so I didnt have to carry him. Excellent product!

I use this in my car everyday and it's perfect! sliding the seatbelt through the slip makes it a great seatbelt

The backpack option of this travel carrier is not usable. My pup cannot sit on the mesh. There is no support there. Also, way too warm when using as an actual travel carrier over the shoulder. I can see where it could be a nice item for some people, however, not for me. I am looking for a travel kennel that is comfortable for both me and my pup as a backpack.

Nice wheels!

Love the wheels but the crate wasn’t as tight as needed & became detached twice. Also there is a lot of unexpected movement and swing w the swivel wheels. Overall it was super helpful going through two airports.

This Pet Travel Carrier Has It All!

I noticed this carrier on Google and thought it looked nice and stylish for my 10 pound poodle but I was blown away! Both of the sides come out to turn into a sweet little sky lounge for your pup which is so spacious. There are hidden straps so you can convert it as a backpack which is nice if I ever need to use both hands. But my favorite feature is putting it on wheels! So easy to put together and put away. Because of the leash inside my dog was sticking his head out and seemed to be chilled out. My boy is excited for our next trip out of town:)

How heavy is just the bag portion?

Wasatch Pup

Hi Renee!
The full carrier is just under 8 lbs. If you’re using only the bag portion (without the rolling base), it weighs between 3.5–4.5 lbs depending on whether the extra straps are attached. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Anida Rosman

We are interested in your air pup travel carrier, but can’t tell if there are one or more pockets for storing food, treats, wipe, etc. Please advise. Thanks!

Wasatch Pup

Hi Anida,

Thanks so much for your interest in our Air Pup Travel Carrier! There is one built-in pocket on the carrier — it’s designed to hold the removable wheels when not in use, but it can also be used to store small essentials like treats, potty bags, wipes, collapsible bowl, or other preferred items.

If you have any other questions or need help deciding if it's the right fit for your pup, feel free to reach out!

Does the carrier fit under the window seat in front of me?

Wasatch Pup

Great question! The Air Pup Travel Carrier is designed to meet most major U.S. airline in-cabin size requirements, including those for window and middle seats.

That said, under-seat space can vary slightly between aircrafts and seat types—especially on smaller regional flights or bulkhead rows. For the most accurate answer, we recommend:
• Checking your airline’s pet policy page
• Looking up the specific aircraft for your flight (seat dimensions can differ by plane)
• Avoiding bulkhead or exit row seats, as they usually don’t have under-seat storage

If your dog meets the sizing guide we provide, and you’re flying in a standard economy window seat, the carrier should fit without issue in most cases.

If you help us know your airline and we’d be happy to help you double-check!

My dog is a toy poodle and she weighs 10-11 pounds. Can she stand up in your carrier?

Wasatch Pup

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out! The Air Pup Travel Carrier has an interior height of 11 inches, and most toy poodles around 10–11 pounds are well within the ideal size range for this carrier.

If your poodle is about 8 inches or shorter from the floor to the top of her back, she should be able to stand up comfortably inside. We always recommend measuring from the floor to the top of her back for accuracy. You are welcome to measureher from the floor to the top of her head as well, you would want her to be under 11 inches in that case.

Let us know if you need any more help with this!
