I am going to buy the extra-large for my two Chihuahua's so I have the two leashes, will they both be able to lay down on long car trips?

It depends on how big your Chihuahua's are, my little 4lb Maltese fits perfect fine in the medium size.

I got the Medium for my Yorkie. She weighs 4.7 lbs. and it is perfect for her. She can lay down and sleep easily. She loves it herself and goes straight to it when I put her in the car.

Either one would be fine. They both look the same weight to me, so the difference can't be much. The one I have is very sturdy. I used it for my rescue 85-lb Bernese Mountain Dog to teach her to 'go potty' while on a leash.

The hooks that attach to the collars are as heavy as any other leash, but i think the center ring that pivots for both leashes may be heavier, but still within acceptable limits. I walk a Tibetan spaniel with it and he had no issue at 12, 15 or 20+ lbs.

I believe two small pugs would fit, but it wouldn't be safe at all. One of the features of the Snoozer is the strong strap used to connect the dogs harness to the seat belt. It is strong enough to give very good protection to the dog in an accident. Hooking two dogs up in the same seat defeats that.

Hi, I think that would be a great idea as long as the tether was long enough so the dog was comfortable. You could always hook two of them together to make it longer if needed. I'm glad you asked because this safety harness saved our little chihuahua (Bitsy's) life. I didn't think a car harness was necessary, but we were going on a lot of long trips and my daughter nagged me until I got one. Six months later we were hit by a cab at 65mph on a 3 lane interstate. Bitsy was hooked to my daughters seatbelt (front passenger), unfortunately the seatbelt did NOT lock and airbag did NOT deploy. My daughters head shattered our windshield and she and Bitsy were thrown around as the car spun around 5 times then hit the center concrete divider head on!! We all suffered severe whiplash and Bitsy injured her left leg but we are certain that if not tethered she would have shot out of the car on impact and been dead. I am so grateful she had her harness and if only Toyota's safety equipment had worked properly they both would have not been injured. I wish I could have thought to tether both of them to the anchor but who knew. I will hook Bitsy to it next time. Good luck!

The more the dog pulls, the tighter the leash gets, regardless the direction the dog pulls. The problem I have with the leash is that with just normal well behaved walking the leash doesn't doesn't stay in the general position pictured but tends to slide back to around the dogs waist, below the ribs. I don't that really effects much, I just don't care for that.

I have one 7.5 lb dog in mine and it gives him enough room to curl up and sleep or move around a little. We take trips that are a few hours long. I also have a small towel in there with him, because even though the lining zips out and is washable, he sometimes gets car sick and it's easier to just wash the towel. Although they would probably fit, I think it might be a little tight for two in there.

I bought it for two chihuahua mixed breed dogs, 7 and 10 lbs, and ended up exchanging for large, rather than extra large which seemed huge. Having said that, I would like to add that the bag is fantastic. The original idea was to keep the pups separated, but very quickly I realized that it wouldn't work as the stress of travel makes them snuggle more than usual. Still, the bag while relatively light is very strong and safe and they love it. We take a Metro North train for a couple of hours almost every weekend and never have any problems.

Yes for the LARGE size - our border collie x cattle dog and our pit bull (both 22 inches at the shoulder) use it (sometimes sleeping in it curled up together) but it is light weight and soft - this is NOT intended for keep-the-dog-in-the-crate-at-all-costs situations but ones where the dog is willing to be there. We use it - with the door open - for the dogs to sleep in at night (their choice) and when we go to agility trials and someone will be sitting alongside the crate - saves taking the metal crate and a cover. We also use it in the back of the SUV on long trips again, more of a 'safe spot' the dogs are familiar with than to keep them locked in.

I suppose you could, but I wouldn't advise it. It depends on how big the dogs are, and they would probably get their leashes tangled.

I can't answer your question as I only have one dog and he only weighs 25 lbs. But I will tell you, I LOVE THIS ITEM - it allows my dog to run from one window to the other and actually get his front paws ONLY on the front seat console, plus he can lie down. Looking forward to having him with me when I take a 2100 mile road trip this summer. I also like the fact that I don't have to worry that he will dash out of the car before I get a leash on him. Maybe you could actually buy 2 of these zip-lines - one for each dog.

Not that I know of. I'm not sure how the torque of two dogs would work with the leash. Sorry I'm not more help.Good luck!

I have a big dog. And I buckle him to the middle seat belt and he can look out both windows perfectly fine! I attach the leash to his harness so it doesn't tug on his neck.

We have a rather long dog and a compact car -- but using just the parts that came with the harness, he has no problem lying down and even sticking his muzzle up right next to the driver's shoulder. Any more freedom would reduce the safety aspect of the harness, IMO.

No! My brother's 65 pound dog bent the clip that hooks into the seatbelt and chewed through leash. If your dog doesn't chew or use brute force constantly pulling on the clip, you'll be fine. But my brother's medium size dog bent it in about an hour of pulling to go from side to side in the car and try to jump up into the front seat. I would recommend spending a little more to get something that's made a little bit better.

No, i do not. My 14lb shihtzu can lay down in it but she takes up the entire bottom with zero room to move...its really made for little dogs like a small Yorkie or chihuahua. Plus these are only good for bucket seats (front passenger) I bought 2 for a road trip to realize afterwards that I can not set them up in the back seat.

My dogs are small (6 lbs. 13 lbs) But when the little one pulls on the leash I hold the middle section between the two leashes and ithelps with the pulling. This leash is really a great one as it doesn't tangle and it's heavy duty. (just watch them as sometimes my dogs will go around you which can trip you) But, I think it should hold your dogs.
