Soft Dog Carriers - Traveling on Jet Blue with my 4mos old (almost 5) puppy?
I'm looking for a carrier that fits within the specific pet carrier size requirements for Jet Blue (not exceed 17"l x 12.5"w x 8"h), we are going from Austin to Long Beach. The Jet Blue carrier sold on their website is too small for her, my pup is almost 9lbs and needs a bit of room. Does anyone recommend a soft carrier to use that comes close to these requirements? Has anyone had issues with a carrier that was a bit larger than the required amount on a Jet Blue flight?? Any info helps! Thanks! Meant to add that she will be in the cabin with us. one last thing.. the Jet Blue carrier is 16 x 10 x 8.5 inches

Uhm...I don't know that a soft carrier is what you need unless your pup is going to be in the passenger area with you. If your dog is going to be in the cargo hold, which I assume is where most dogs are, then a hard carrier is what you need. They usually stack carriers on top of each other and strap them down as a unit. A soft carrier in the cargo area will slide around and won't protect your pup at all. You can buy hard carriers at any pet store in dozens of sizes.

You should get this 17" long, collapsible carrier from Amazon. It's great! http://www.amazon.com/Collapsible-Leather-Airlines-Approved-Carrier/dp/B001DRFBKI

Most all soft sided carriers (medium) will fith the airline requirements - check in Petco or Petsmart for one.

Unless the dog and carrier fit under the seat, your dog will have to fly cargo. I would buy a crate that the airlines recommends.

have to follow their guidelines if you want to travel with them. didn't know any let you use soft carriers. how big is your dog if it don't fit in that. my 12 pound will fit in that size.
