My dog is 10 lb.s and fits perfectly! My mom has 2 smaller yorkies that each weigh 4 or 5 lb.s and they BOTh fit comfortably

My Maltese is less that 6 pounds but I think this would work for up to 15 pounds if your shoulder can handle the weight.

My dog is only 5 lb, but I'm sure you could carry up to 10 lb. with no problem, any pets weight more than that might be too heavy on your shoulder.

my toy chihuahua is 5lbs i would say that you could put a 6-7 lb dog in there. My dog loves it

Personally, I wouldn't go beyond 5 or 6 pounds. The straps might be uncomfortable. It has two metal hooks inside, however, I cut them both out. Because my dog is afraid of anything metal.

I would say under 10 lbs, and that may be a bit heavy! I used it when my Chiweenie was first adopted and she weight about 6 lbs at that time and it was perfect! It really depends on what type of dog you have too. A toy dog could probably use it forever....! Hope that helps.

I cannot say, both our dogs are about 20 pounds, and I did not keep the packaging once they proved to work.

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.

I use it for my two yorkies when we go traveling. One is 6 pounds and the other is 6.5 pounds. Its pretty sturdy. I love it.

40 pounds would be too big a dog for this. My dog is between 25 and 30 and she is at the top of her size for this carrier.

It's not meant to hold that much, but I will say that IMHO, I believe it COULD hold that much. It is a very sturdy carrier -- I have been very impressed so far. Having said that, my dog is only 10 pounds, but there is plenty of room in there so I often carry extra clothing, a lunch, an extra water bottle, etc. I've had no problems whatsoever. Knock on wood.

I'd say 25-30 lbs. Not completely unwieldy based on the fact that the kennel is for large breed dogs.

It may depend on the airline. I took an international flight and the weight limit for the pet and carrier combined couldn't exceed 8 kg (17.8#). Lufthansa actually weighed it. My 13# dog barely made it.

My Max (Shih Tzu) weighs 14.9 lbs, he has lots of room to move around. So I'd think between 20 - 25 lbs. It really comes in handy, for I don't care to leave him in the care and some retailers allow them in store as long as the pet is well mannered and completely enclosed.

Sorry I took so long to respond, I just weighed the carrier and it was approximately 5.8 lbs. I hope it still helps.

I'm not sure. I think it was 30 lbs ??? My beagle is around that weight and it's ok.

It should be okay, def smaller than I expected but I think a 20 lb dog would be okay if not too long or overweight, not sure what kind of carrier you have, very round not oblong....

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 think about five pounds.My puppy is small and thin and he fits comfortable in it. If she grows much more I will have to get a bigger one.

That would depend on the dimensions of your dog. This medium size carrier will accommodate a dog up to 20 pounds.

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.
