My dog is five pounds. Is this sling the right size?

It would be a little big, my daughters dog is 10 pounds and it's a little big for her. but it works great

Yes this is perfect ,,, my little one is four Pds and she just loves. She fits nice and snug at my side. She sees me get it out to put it on and just gets so excited. Hope this helps

Yes it would work. All depends on the dogs satisfaction of sitting there. My little one wants to be attached to me so she is fine.

I'm pretty sure our adult cat that my wife carries in it is about the same size.

It's fine for my eleven pound dachshund but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my eight pound Pom. I have a collar that I've put on a collar that is smaller than it one it came on and I'm trying to get the connectors to work right. The collar that comes with it is way too big. So...I haven't figured out the right combination yet to see if I can get it to work. If I do, I'll post it to this same inquiry.

I'm 5'2" 115 lbs, and the small works perfect. A meduim would be way to long. It depends more on the size of the wearer. I've been able to adjust it to fit my baby from 4 months to 10 months so far. She will get too heavy long before she gets too big for the sling.

yes, your size is fine. Ours was a 55 lb retriever and it was a bit too small.

I would go by the size chart with the listing, they run true to the sizing guidelines that are given. My Kirby is 18" around & 18lbs. He wears the small. The chart says 12"-19" for the small. I imagine your 5lb dog would need XS.

I think so. My 5.5 lb dog was able to fit in it, but it seemed to small for her to be comfortable, so I gave it to a friend with a 4lb dog.

I've used it for my 11 lb shih-tzu by removing the central sling and lining it with a piece of foam rubber, she was in heaven.

I purchased the size small for a 14 pound Bichon Frise and it worked perfectly. If the suspender is too big, trim the straps. See my review. Sally

the medium is a little bit big for my 5 pound dog - so i would get the smallest one would work just right for you.

I'd agree with David. It was too big for our weimaraner pup when she was only thirty pounds or so. It is just now beginning to fit as she approaches 50 pounds

I'm sorry to be slow in response... The leg openings are 6.5 inch reenforced slits in the material that open to a circle of roughly 4.5 inchesacross. We always found the leg openings to be well adapted to our shepherd's large thighs, and the sling rode comfortably for him. Itwas, as I said, a marvelous tool that made the last few years of our dog's life much easier for us and thus for him. Damn, I miss thatdog.... -Keith

It may be a tight squeeze. I have a 5-6 lbs Chihuahua and it fits pretty well. The width and length probably won't be an issue for your dog, it would be the height of your dog if she doesn't like to lay down.

Definitely, my dogs are 6-12 lbs and it works best with the neoprene harness.

Hello, Thank you for your interest. The sling is 55 inches long and 1 1/4 inch thick. Cheers

I'm not sure how long your mini doxie is, but my teacup Yorkie's back length is about 6" and there's a lot of room (length) for her. She is tiny (almost 1.5 lb), so her legs are very short too. With a thick blanket on the bottom of the sling to give her a boost (and to make it more cozy), it works fine for her. It should work for your doxie as well (with a blanket) unless she's a lot bigger/heavier than my puppy. I hope this helps.

My springer is 52 lbs and it fits him about right. Looks like you might be right in between sizes.

We used the X-small on our 5 lb Yorkie and it worked fine. It has some adjustment with its Velcro strap.
