I have a 9 pound chihuahua. Vet suggested I might want to buy the aero cat since my dog's snout is rather small. ANy suggestions?

I had a Jack Russell and I used the small one for a dog, she had asthma but it extended her life about another 3-4 years.............

I think the aero dog will work fine for you. It has two size mask in the box. For our five pound yorkie we use the larger mask.

Sorry it took so long to reply. We bought the AeroDawg Canine Aerosol Chamber for Dogs - Small, and it was perfect for our chihuahua by using the smaller of the two attachments. He's about 11 lbs, but only because he's a bit overweight. You might want to check if the cat attachment is shaped differently, it might be too shallow for a dog's longer snout. Good luck, I hope your dog gets better!

The small AeroDawg is only 1 1/8" dia. That should fit most small adult dogs.

the AeroDawg comes with 2 facemask. I tried the smaller of the two on my 5 pound chihuahua and it was a little big. i use the bigger mask for my 20 pound terrier and it fits snug. The opening on the small mask is 1 and 1/8 inch. I hope this helps.

Pretty confident to say yes. You would want to think of the size of the litter box. About shoe box size for the litter box would give your Chihuahua plenty of room. Our dogs like to hang out in there. Two dogs had gotten in there together and their total weight is about 40 pounds and there was still plenty of room. It's a very nice pen. It's safe and is user friendly. The top being able to come off makes all the difference for cleaning and resetting the inside of the pen. Good luck and we call ours "The Crib". It sounds more fun and hip!

I purchased the intermediate size which more than accommodates my 19-lb feline. Plenty of room to spare once she settles in. While cats and dogs take up space differently, my feeling is that the LARGE carrier would be a comfortable accomodation for your buddy, likely with room to spare for a pad.

My Chihuahua is about 10 lbs and fits comfortably. I think it might be a bit small for a 35lb Schnauzer.

I think so..... I have a 9 pound chihuahua that could have company comfortably if the dog was smaller.... they may not can sit side by side but front to back is decent in size..... our chihuahua is disabled and she sleeps in it at night like a crib.... we walk her almost everyday...this was the best purchase we made for our "Izzy".... very durable....

It would depend on how small the dog is. I'd say one no bigger than a chihuahua it might be ok, but if bigger than that I'd get the larger one.

My chihuahua/rat terrier mix weighs exactly 9 lbs. I would prefer to have extra room rather than a tight fit but u r right at borderline bet. small & medium.

I am not sure. I would go for the larger one. I am assuming 8 lb dogs are pretty small. I put two kittens in a large one. And one full grown cat in a large one. That seems comfortable for them. Sorry I can not answer that better for you.

what I would recommend is to measure the dog from shoulder to shoulder and you would get a better idea as for the chihuahua it's going to be difficult since it's such a big size difference and keep in mind that there is a 3-4 inch step over.

My shih-tzu who's up to 18.5 pounds now, and has a 20" girth fits perfectly. Hopefully that helps because I'm not sure how big ur chihuahuas are. Good luck!

Well, I think that the weight should be no problem, because one of my cats is 12 pounds. I'm looking at my cat, and I think he is more or less 10 inches tall, so I would say yes, it would work for your dog. Just remember, that he/she wont be able to stand in the carrier, but the dog should fit comfortably. Friendly reminder, if you test it and it does not work for you... you can always return it. Oh... before I bought it, I checked it out at a local Petco. They do sell the same one, but it's around $70... So if you want to check out the size before buying it, you should be able to find it in a Petco. Didn't see this one in Petsmart.

Hello. I've been using this on my ~11 pound cat since late September. It took a little getting used to for him, but it's very second nature for him now. I wouldn't say it is 'small,' but my vet verified that it's not too big for a cat his size. You just have to purchase a small dog collar for it so that it is sturdy enough to hold the device upright. Please see the review I posted for this product.

I would get the next size up. This fits easily over my cat, and my 10 pound Chihuahua, but any bigger than that wouldn't fit.

I think cats need alot of room.my dog is 19 to 20 lbs and had ample room to move around..if the cats aren't long, it would be ok but comfort is important for a long trip.

Hi Linda,Yes, my cat Bailey is 14 pounds and he does just fine on it, and is a large cat, and since your dogs are small and light, they should be just fine. I found it best to screw the assembly into the window sill to provide more secure strength rather than just Velcro, so I'd recommend that unless your window sill isn't wood. Also, it is easy to fill screw holes and repaint/restain if you ever needed to.

I have both dachsy and chihuahua ...the dachsy is a little too big for it to be comfortable the next size up would be better.

I got the extra small for my Chihuahuas. They range in size from 5-8 pounds.
