Is the bottom of the carrier reinforced/solid? ALSO, I have a 8# maltese, will she fit & have ability to look out? Thanks.

It's not reinforced. Since it isn't your dog will find it hard to look out of it.

The bottom is NOT solid, nor is it really flat, so that the dog can actually sit. It's basically the same material as on the sides, soft and cushion like. As for your Maltese, I would think it would be the perfect size for her and she should be able to see out. I used mine, when my now 14 month old, was a puppy and it was great for shopping and such, but she did outgrow it pretty quickly. I have since donated it to a local Rescue!!

I got this and returned it. The color shown isn't what I got. The carrier's head opening was way too big and my puppy jumped out. The bottom was not totally soft, but it wasn't completely hard either. And unless you're going yo use it ONLY when it's cold out, the dog will overheat.

Unfortunately it is with a friend at the moment so I cannot measure it. The carrier is sturdy, however; in my opinion it would be difficult to carry this around as it is quite large and would be too bulky. It is great to take along on trips and I put my 2 little Morkies in there to sleep in a strange place and they seem to love it. I would tend to agree with G.J. Hubbard on the measurements.

I love this bag. I have a 8 lb toy fox terrier and she does have enough room to turn around in it. It has a zipper top along with a Velcro strip and a clip to snap it shut for reinforcement so a dog or in your case, a ferret should not be able to open it.

Yes. I have a 7 pound dog and the bag stretched so much, she was almost at Knee level. I adjusted and still didn't like the way she was in this carrier. Returned it.

I agree with Steve and Halene reply. Measure your dog. I had a 12 lb yorkie and she had plenty of room to sit and stand and turn around. She loved this carrier. She past away last year and still use this backpack with our other yorkie. I haven't had any problems with this carrier.

should not have a problem..it is made very sturdy. I have a maltese runs up and down them numerous times a day. I did have to use treats to get her going up/down a few times repeatedly, once she went up/down a few times she was good to go!

The bottom is attached. It is sewen together all the way around with two zipper doors, one on each side. My puppy pulled in it a lot and it held up great!

My dog is 18 pounds (Shih Tzu) and fits in the carrier -- There is not a lot of extra room for her to move around but it is sufficient in size for her. There is more extra room for her on the sides. Not too much in the front and back. I'm not sure if she has enough room to turn around inside.

Yes!! Thats exactly what I have as well. My dog is a Maltese and she's 4lbs, she fits just fine.

My three pound Maltese has lots of room inside. I have an 8 pound schnauzer that would not be comfortable in it.

The pet carrier is quite big. but it is super safe and great for our pug. However she rides in it attached to the seat and the oposit side of our luggage rack . She rides on my husbands streetglide so with the saddle bags it doesn't seem like it's so big .It definitely would have to go on the seat and the backrest as the secure spot on my softail because my rack is very small.

the carrier is very nice, and I've taken it on AA and others, but not internationally. My pup has now outgrown it at 20 lbs so I have used a larger Sherpa bag I've had forever.

I wouldn't check the dog in it - the case is too soft and might get crushed. If the dog will be traveling in a seat next to you, maybe. I am not sure if the carrier is small enough to stow under the seat - it may be a bit too tall for that.

The carrier is 24 inches long and 17 inched deep. My dog weighs 17 lbs. I think 26 lb dog would do fine. I have both doors open so he can jump out whenever he want as he is on a leash.

There is plenty of room in mine for my 8 pound dog. She actually really loves it. You really don't want them sliding around in it. It should fit snug much like the human baby carriers do. Also, your dog's head needs to come over the top so he can enjoy the ride!

My guess would be no, because the dog would be sitting upright. You can find a carrier with a flat bottom, and the dog will be much more comfortable.

Are they tall? Do they really like each other? Do they willingly go into bags? My dog hated the fact that there was no top access. Although, she is not so used to carriers. I replaced mine with a regular large Sherpa - which is what I should have bought in the first place. Even though she's a little tall for it, she doesn't mind it at all.
