How long is the carrier? I have a 12 lb. mini dachshund, he is 17 inches from breast to rear.

It has a 17"(+) length capacity but when carried, the weight of your pet determines the length he will be sitting in.

I have a 12lb Yorkie and he was just too big for the small, so we exchanged it for the medium. The medium is a little big, but comfortable for him with all of the adjustments on the tightest setting. I would say a 20lb pug should fit since the straps adjust pretty wide. I will add though, my 12 pounder gets heavy on my back and shoulders after a while, so I'm not sure how comfortable this would really be on your back at 20lbs. If they're a senior and can't do long walks but still likes to go, have you considered the dog strollers? That might be more comfortable for you and him.

My doggie is 6 1/2 pounds ...I'll bet yours is smaller than that. I don't know if I can answer for certain. But...if it would have been too big I was gojng to fold one of her blankets and put it in the carrier to take up any extra space. Hope i helped a little!!

I am getting a 10" tall miniature pinscher tomorrow. Will be traveling on Southwest with her. Their current guidelines say the carrier must be 8.5h x 13.5w x 18.5L. This one is a bit bigger, but I don't think they will measure it unless somebody came on with a really big one that would be obviously too big. this one could slide under the radar (in my humble opinion).

I have a 13 lb terrier-mix. She is able just barely able to lie down and turn around, and is not able to sit upright, or stretch out lengthwise completely when lying. i use the carrier only for a short 10 minutes or so trip to the vet. I would not recommend a longer trip as the dog will probably be too cramped. I bought the carrier when she weighed only 9 lbs, so she has outgrown it. In retrospect, although the carrier is well made, I would not purchase it again, and would get a carrier made for a medium size (15-20 lb), rather than a small dog. It would give the dog a more comfortable transport. I have a 13 lb terrier-mix.

On the measurements. I have to guess a bit because I got the medium size. I would think 18 would be length. 14 width and 16 height. I see you are looking at the small size, so if you have a very light weight pet, it is possible that you could carry him around in it. Certainly not anything over...I would guess 8 to 10 lbs. That is my best guess.

Hi two of my dogs are 4 lbs. My third dog as 12 lbs. The carrier was too small for the 12 pounder, but fine for the smaller dogs. I think up to 6 - 8 pounds would be okay.I hope this helps.

The small will fit up to 12" chest - measurements under the front legs. We have a 14 lb shihtzu and we use the medium because it gives more room to take it off & put it on, also nice length on the lead. The small we use for our little 7 lb papillon/Yorkie.

Our mini Aussie is 17 lbs. And did just fine. The carrier is well built. If you can get your pet in the carrier it can handle the weight.

Might be too small for a 16 lb dog.My dog seems big to me for 7 lbs, she is 20" L from base of tail to tip of nose, she is 14" around the belly and her legs are approx 6/7" long. The bag is plenty roomy for her and she absolutely loves it. Any time I put it down somwhere she tries to get in it by. herself...it is really cute.

I have two 13 pound Dachshunds, I put a body pillow in there, a blankie & their toys. There is plenty of room. A small would work, I just wanted to give them enough room to play on long drives. Hope that helps?

The one i got was for up to 20 lbs my problem is that my 13 lb dachshund is too long now, i would think a cockapoo would be shorter and should fit.

The inside of the carrier is 20" high from the base to the highest part. The 20lbs will be no problem. My frenchie is a HEFTY 27lbs and it was fine for him. I would measure him sitting up and see if 20" would be tall enough

The pet carrier we purchased has worked well for us. Our dog is 20 lbs.and we could have used a bigger one, but it works.We ride a trike and it straps on th carrier rack real good. We wish we could have gotten any colorbut black it is to hot.

I have a 2 year old pug. He between 17lbs and 19lbs. This dog carrier was too short and too small for him. I think if your dog is small, it might work. I bought Masion & Trade's 28" wine red portable house crate carrier cage kennel. It's perfect for him. I would highly reccomend this product to anyone.

Our dog is a Boston Terrier/Mini Schnauzer mix and we flew with him in this bag when he was a puppy at 12 lbs & he fit perfect! He had enough room to turn around in the carrier and could lay down comfortably! Hope that helps you and safe travels!
