Tote-On-Wheels

For the Pet on the Go

Gayle Martz revolutionized the way people travel with their pets when she developed the first officially approved soft-sided pet carrier more than a decade ago after having logged more than a million miles on the road and in the air. 

Now, Martz has done it again with the introduction of the Sherpa® Tote-On-Wheels, offering the same love of detail to all travelers with pets. 

Made of stylish, yet durable black mesh micro fiber for ventilation, the Tote-On-Wheels has two sturdy woven handles to use as an over-the-shoulder carry all, plus a telescoping handle when you want to pull your pet in the bag easily on its sturdy in-line skate wheels.

The main packing compartment has two interior zippered pockets and an interior key ring eliminating fumbling for keys. Convertible rear pocket makes it easy to retrieve important documents and unzips to slip over a luggage handle. There’s also a washable faux lambskin liner for your pet’s comfort. The Sherpa® Tote-On-Wheels maneuvers easily through busy city streets and airline terminals and fits comfortably under any airline cabin seat.

“With all my years of traveling with my Lhasa Apso, Sherpa and Coton De Tulear, Su-Nae, I know what the frequent traveler needs to help them get where they’re going with their pets in style and comfort,” says Martz.

Style, practicality and convenience have long been Sherpa® hallmarks and are evident by features designed to keep you organized from departure to arrival.

Martz has a simple mission: To take the hassle out of travel.

Martz started Sherpa’s Pet Trading Company® when she couldn’t find a pet carrier for her Lhasa Apso, Sherpa. She discovered that a stylish, functional, lightweight carrier didn’t exist. Her goal was to create a product, and a procedure, for people to travel comfortably with their small companions. She also set out to get the airlines to change their policy regarding pets in the passenger cabin. Having accomplished this, The Sherpa Bag® is now the officially approved soft-sided pet carrier used on board most airlines.

Veterinarians, the ASPCA, the Delta Society and the Humane Society, also recommend the Sherpa Bag for use.

Sherpa’s Pet Trading Company opened its doors in1989 and is located at 135 East 55 Street, 6th floor, New York, NY 10022. 

The Tote-On-Wheels is available in black micro fiber through www.SherpaPet.com or by calling 1-800-743-7723. The bag retails for $79.00.
