Does the large meet AA requirements? I purchased the seats with 6 inch extra leg room. I have a 18 lb Shih Tzu. Will she need the large carrier?

I am not sure but I brought a Lundehund puppy back from Portland Oregon on an overnight 5 plus hour flight and he did great in a "Large " size but I usually fly with a Pembroke Corgi who is bigger than the Lunde and no problem but I make them practice being in there in case at the airport they question if it's big enough - in other words they better not see you STUFFING the dog in the carrier so practice and have the dog treat it like a bed...........good luck Janet

The larger sherpa carrier would definitely be more comfortable, however the medium will work fine. My Shin Tzu is anout 16lbs he had room to spare in the medium. I would suggest taking the carrier to the airport in advance and let them measure or go to the airline website and check measurements so there are no surprises on the travel date. The larger carrier will provide a more secure and stable pull experience.

We also have an 18 lb Shih Tzu - that is large for Shih Tzus.We think you need the large size - our dog could can barely stand up in it, but generally OK. No complaints from our dog (other than not liking the takeoff noise.)Regarding regulations, it can be tricky. I think it is larger than normally allowed (we did not ask, and no one complained - so it worked out for us).We were flying JetBlue and got the "Extra Space" option, which gives a couple extra inches.Good luck.

I measured belly part of carrier. It is 118cm with am extended part. I hope this is helpful. If you spend more you can buy stokke carrier. I think that one is more suitable for large person. You also try all carrier at store.

My mate is 6.3. also. He fits with plenty of room. No diagonal sleeping! No standing for him but sitting up straight, he has plenty of room ovehead. We have room for lots of gear but I don't know about large dogs. There would likely be room for them and gear. I would worry about the floor and dog paws. It's a very thin floor compared to other tents I have owned.

The carrier was very comfortable for my 14 lb. dog. Putting 3-l3-pound cats in the carrier would be cruel, that's 39 lbs. of legs and fur, no room to move or breath and stay cool. three kittens no problem.Remember if you are flying with your pet, they are under a seat, it can be quite warm for the pet under that seat. I had to ask for water during the flight to keep my dog cool. Three is too much company, and the large carrier exceeded the measurements of the airline's standards.

I bought a large for my 60 lb. American Bulldog. I'm not sure if that helps but it had plenty room. If it were me I would get a medium to be safe.

The carriers are airline friendly on most airlines. You need to check with your airline specifics to ensure it will fit under the seat. The carrier will collapse about 5" in height. We have flown with the large but not extra large. We have friends that have flown with this extra large on Luftansa. I hope this helps.

Hi! I have two shih tzus, one is 10 lbs and one is 15 and they JUST fit in this seat together. It is also fairly high so if your dog is tall he may be raised up too much. Hope this helps.

According to the info that came with the carrier the medium size is for pets up to 16 lbs., 16" in length x 10" in height. It does say to carefully measure your pet. The large carrier is up to 22lbs, 18" in length x 11" in height.

Marilynoz, I am sure that this carrying case will work just fine for you. The case is soft, but both ends of the case are semi-firm. Just enough so that the case retains it shape, but flexible enough that you can collapse the ends down to fit under seat in front you. My two Shih Tzus did well, on their first flight. An international 6.5 hour flight, not including the long wait at the airport needed for international hops. My dogs are 8 and 9lbs and I opted for a separate carry bag for both of them. But your kitties might be able to tolerate one anthers company in the same carry case on a less lengthy journey. Happy Travels!!

hi,yes I believe this item will work , since this is a soft pet carrier you can manipulate the bag to fit under the seat but you should purchase the large size . your dog will not fit in the smaller size

I am sorry I do not know as I have a large dog who defiantly will not fit under the seat. You could contact the Air line you plan to use they are very helpful explaining what you can use. The small carriers I have seen on an air line.

It is 6 inches above ground+ cover has several inches edge. If you look at front the black rectangle has a zipper all the way around it. You would have to lift her in because it would require a big knee lift on the dog's part. Not sure at about the l or XL question. I put 70 lbs of dauchshunds in mine and they fit roomily. Maybe a flatbed wagon would work for you and be easier to load. Mine can run away so I needed a closed option.

The carrier easily fits my 21 pound dachshund-Jack Russell terrier mix who is large for her breed and very, very muscular (walks 5 miles a day - massive thighs!). My dog is 26 inches long excluding tail....should be plenty of room for two small chihuahuas.

I have 2- 18 lb shih tzu's. The fit great in the large tube. They can lay down and move around but are still kept in a safe place. We love the tube to travel with our dogs. They can see out and get lots of ventilation. There is a lot of room left even when both dogs are in there. We want ours to be comfy and have room but your dogs are smaller than ours. You can also adjust the large to be shorter by a few inches by cinching it up- that may work ok for you too. We didn't get the pad they offered here, we use a soft bendable dog pillow from Petsmart that fits in there just fine. Good luck!

Can't say for sure. My dog is only 5 pounds. She fits with a little room to spare. I found that tmost of these carriers tend to run smaller than the manufacturer states.

You definitely would want to go with the large. My 8# Coton de Tulear has plenty of room in the large so she can be comfortable laying down also . 2 smalldogs would be comfortable sitting up in this seat. I believe your 24 # doggy would still be comfortable because Isee that others with that size say so but I don't see a dog much larger than that being in comfort in this seat .

They have 3 sizes of this carrier which stste the size and weight of the animals. I am sure your dog would be fine in the one I got.
