I've noticed a lot of people mention their dog not being able to lay down with very much room in a medium and their dogs seem to be quite small. My dog weigh almost 9lbs and I was going to order the medium but now I'm considering ordering the large because he does need to be able to lay down. We go on some long trips. I really don't understand why the description on sizing doesn't fit what the customers are saying, what size would you order? Also my other concern is the amount of space the large will take. I intend to use harness's so that it can sit on the center console in the front seat because that's the only place he has sat for his entire 6 yrs. of traveling with us. I'm not worried about attaching it safely, just the fit on the console. I don't want his head to hit the roof of the truck. What is the thickness of the bed?

My dog is a long legged 12 pounds (he is a coated Xolo). He LOVES this car seat. So much so that I bought two, one for each car. Even though they are easy to install I didn't want to bother changing them. My dog curls up in a little ball, snuggles right down in the sear, and rests his chin on the lip of the seat. Unfortunately, he rarely sits up to look outside. This is a perfect size for the way he likes to sleep and plenty of room and height if he would just sit up.

When in doubt order the larger one. My dog was only a couple of pounds when I bought it. Now she is about 6 pounds and just about makes it. Make sure you can position it. I brace it in between the seats in front and I have a larger bed for my other dogs (I have 4 small ones) that braces it as well. It works well for me the way I have it. Hope this helps, Judy

I had the large size with my 13 lb dog (tall and thin) on Southwest. It was flexible and bent at the top to fit under the seat. My dog had to lay down and didn't have room to fully sit up but he did fit. The measurements on the southwest site seemed off and it seemed like there was much more room than they said. Don't worry about what southwest says about needing to demonstrate standing up and turning around in the crate. The workers at the ticket counters both ways didn't even look in the crate. Their policy online is certainly more strict than it is in practice.

Hello Jude. I got the large one because I have a Great Dane but you should be OK with the medium one or even the small one. This product is really good. I tried others and they break easily. This product is also very long so you don't have to bend down. Make sure the medium size is as long as the larger size and measure the distance between your hand and the ground to see if you would like either the medium or large. If you get the large one, it won't hurt you as it is very tall (I don't know about the medium one) but if the medium one is as tall then go for the medium one as the size of the spoon/grabber in either the large or medium size would be sufficient for the size of poop you will be picking up! I would be more worry about how TALL it is between the two! :P Hope this helps!

i bought my yorkie a Medium. she is slim or skinny but healthy, and it bearly fit her, meaning that it fits her perfect from the neck down but its a little hard to get her feet in it but a Large would have been to big. Dogs are just different sizes so dont go by weight. If i was you i would get your dog a Medium cause it really is a size small and it does come from China and run sizes different. Thats all i can say without seeing your dog but dont get a large.

I bought a sml size for my 18 lb dog because her chest size fit the small info and now I will buy a second one for her at the medium size, THE SMALL FITS, BUT JUST BARELY, if she gains a lb, I will be wearing it for a slipper. It wont work for her any longer...whoever said buy one size up was quite right. So now I will own 2 jackets, I did love the jacket and my dog seemed fond of it too. It seemed to take about 10 minutes to calm her down in a lightening and thunder storm, but did work in the end. Halloween I will have the jacket on her long before the trick/treaters and their cherry bombs come around. High hopes for that night.

If your dog is not steady on their feet, maybe not. We have a 14 year old arthritic dog who could walk on it but his problem was the 7" thickness. He likes to roll on his bed and he rolled off which stunned him and he will not get back on the bed. I bought two of these beds. Our Golden Retriever who is 10 had no problem standing on it and likes her bed. It's very well made and an attractive bed. I think it would be good for our arthritic dog if we could get him back on it. I haven't had the beds long enough to comment on the cover but I've had other beds with this type of cover and they held up very well with repeated washings.

Get the large! Never a problem to have too much room for your dog and Southwest takes it, in my experience! Best Wishes!

It depends, I have 3 8-pound dogs that can all share the medium but sometimes only one of them uses it. I bought the large so they could all share but one of them likes her own. I would go for the large one, I think a 45 pound dog would just cover the medium, but if your limited on space it would still keep the dog warm. The Medium is 19X24 and the large is 25X36 if that helps

I think you would be better off with one that your dog zips into. This one would not offer much space for a dog bigger than 3 lbs. To lay down in. Go to a local pet supply and try some, then order it on Amazon.

Have an 27 lb Chinese pug who has traveled the past 7 weeks in our carrier (it has been broken down to half capacity) he has done wonderfully in it, but not sure how a larger dog would do in it. He has. Had plenty of room but is a third of the size being asked about.

Hello J.B. I bought the medium one for my two yorkies, one is 5 pounds and the other one 7 pounds and is perfect for them. The material is very resistent and you can adjust the straps. It has an strap inside to conect the collar so the dog cant jump outside. I think is perfect for your dog. I use it in a convertible volkswagen EOS. My dogs love it!

Large for sure. The dimensions they give are for the outside of the carrier. The padding takes up probably half that space. I returned the large one because I felt mean putting my 4 pound dog in it. She couldn't stand up or move comfortably. She is 9 inches tall, not sure about your dog since they are short. But not the small definitely

Hi - the medium bed is 34 Inches x 22 Inches and it ran true to size. So, for a 125 lb dog, I think you will need a larger bed. My dog is only 65 lbs and the medium is the perfect size for his crate. I will be getting the large (46 Inch x 28 Inch) as a real dog bed. You may want to measure the bed you have now before you order to be sure it will be roomy enough for your dog. Good luck!

I agree that dogs need comfort too. I have three dogs and my largest is 60 lbs. she has bad joints. I have cut up an old topper into squares and put a blanket over it for her. It was a popular bed with all three of my dogs. Only problem is she's a chewer, even at 8 years old, so she pawed the blanket back and chewed apart the topper. If your dog isn't a chewer I think it would appreciate the topper.

I'd recommend being conservative and going larger rather than smaller, if you are trying to decide between sizes. They have a size chart on the ad, but without looking at it maybe you'd be OK with a large. I have a 70 lb but very lean mixed breed and thought I could get him into a large, but he ended up needing an extra large. It fits very nice and my dog seemed happy to put it on, but in the end, my dog is tough to get into the water, so I never got to see how well it kept him afloat.

I cant imagine that it would be comfortable for the human, and at that size, it will depend on leg length and girth. The animal rests on you belly or slung to your side...but you can draw the sling length pretty low, perhaps to the waist or more, making more room and less curvature from the humans body form as well. Our little girl is now 20-20.6#...I cant handle more than like a half hour before she's a too heavy, so i lift her from beneath to rest my shoulders. She still likes being in it and will ask for rides in it often. Her tail being tucked right is a thing too, plus it helps that she's the most chill dog in history imo! Hope that helps!!
