Need new tote 4 my 16yr/8# maltese. Will she fit in this?? ALSO, is it flexable/not hard for daily use running errands, etc? Is zipper 'optional'?

I purchased this for my daughter's 10 lb. morkie. It's the perfect size and durable. The dog likes it too. Yes it's flexible and soft, but sturdy enough that it stays upright and doesn't collapse onto the dog. I don't recall how the zipper worked, but I would recommend it. Good luck

Your maltese should just fit, provided she's not super tall. The zipper is definitely not optional...although there is an internal tether, it is rather thin, and a squirmry dog could hop out of the bag if unzipped. It is flexible and soft. My havaneses prefers it to all of her other carriers.

Yes, your dog would fit. I have a 12# shih tzu that I bought it for and he still has a lot of room. It is soft but will not collapse on them, it is nicely padded. The zipper comes on the bag but you don't have to use it if you do not want to. I typically do not use the zipper either.

i have a yorkiepoo, and unfortunately, i don't use it...i tried it when we first got him, but he is small (about 6 pounds now) and i found that the bag was not flexible enough...he didn't like it..

The bag is well made lined in a felt soft material but is constructed as a hard non collapsing case, our Chi lives in it like a tent, and sticks his head out of the one end when he needs attention, otherwise he curls up inside. great for colder climates.zipper is optional, it has a collar leash hook to prevent accidents. hope that helped.

DaphneDid you get this bag, after all? If so, which size? I have a 7lb Toy Schnauzer, who might be slightly taller than yours. I'm wondering if she'll fit?

just looked up your phone and mine. mine is 4.69 inches, yours is 5.7, so the length might be a problem, but the bling case on mine takes up room and the pouch is stretchy not stiff. you can always return it if it doesn't fit. the question is , how strong is your dog (or how obedient LOL)

My maltese is 5.5 pounds and she fits there very good. She still has room to move around and seems comfortable.

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.

Yes. There is also an attached harness tether located on the inside bottom of the purse to keep your fur baby from jumping out (ONLY use w/a harness, NEVER attach to a collar!). You can either zipper it all the way, halfway, or not at all. I have a leggy 4.5# Yorkie/Maltese mix, so he's a little too tall to comfortably fit into this product (I've since purchased another product to use when necessary, otherwise he has a pet stroller he rides in when we're out and about).

It'll be a snuggly fit for 2 pup. My Pom is 7 pounds and fit snuggly (with all her full grown fur) in this bag. Fit better for one 5.7 pound. (: it's also a warmer bag (with padding) so 2 dogs may be feeling stuffy in this. It's by far, one of the more stylish padded bag though. (;

I have a 5 lb Chihuahua and she has plenty of room. It's a rather large bag if your looking for something more compact. I do like all the pockets, no need to take a purse when we go. Hope this helps.

I agree with lolagirl that 1 bag is likely adequate. For our 12 lb pup in the medium sized Snoozer bag, we are able to put a canvas leash and a retractable leash in one pocket and 4 cups of kibble and other treats in the other pocket. Neither pocket was snug with these items so you can probably fit more. The Snoozer is a great travel bag - you can roll it or carry it as a backpack fairly comfortably, too.

Hi! Sorry? Just saw this from yesterday right now. I got it large for my 34 pound mixed breed, and I wouldn't get it any smaller. So, definitely go with the large? Also, I actually looked at a YouTube because I couldn't figure out how to put it on.mi'm not stupid, just too impatient to read directions so I exhaust myself! Lol. It's a great thing. She walks so much better! Good luck!

My dog is a toy, and is 5 lbs. She fits comfortably in it and can move around with ease. It is a good sturdy bag but while on vacation we could only hold her for a half an hour max before we had to trade off with someone else because she would get too heavy. I do not think a 16 lb dog would be comfortable in it or you would be comfortable holding it. I would look into getting something bigger. If you were planning on using it for air travel it would be too small for a 16 lb dog.

Yes the size is big enough. You don't want it to be too big for your Maltese. My Shi-tzu is about 11lbs and is comfortable in it .

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.

I would say yes. I have a five pound morkie and she could probably have company over in there. She has plenty of room to stretch out in there. I love the little snap up windows at the bottom on each end. I'm able to take her in stores that would otherwise give me grief. When I go through checkout I just flip the window down on that side and no ones the wiser. Bag is very well made!

My morkie is five lbs and fits fine. When she was a baby I just had a little blanket I put in there. The zipper I have to be carful of not to catch her hair in as she has long hair. I wish there was a placket to prevent that but I just keep her head down and my hand under the zipper as I zip it.

Hello! My purse is 25 inches tall, 26 inches long, and the base is 15 cm. The height is 15 cm, but it is considering to handle. Considering only the zipper until she is 17 centimeters. I hope I have helped you.

I have a 8 lb. chiweenie and a 7lb. Chihuahua and they never have trouble fitting in this bag. They like to ride around together. the bag is wide about 7 1/2 in. wide and 8 inches deep. so kinda short and stocky like our dogs ! I hope this helps!
