Would this work for a pug puppy at 8 1/2 pounds? thanks.

Yes it will work extremely well as long as it's used correctly. Tinker is 6lbs and2ous wet. It not only keeps her head above the water, she swims very safely. Since they are so reasonable, we carry one in our daily beach pack and take along the second adventures. She wears it well on the dingy or the 70 foot monster! She loves it! I love it because I know she's safe!

Yes and she will enjoy the freedom it affords to be close and you will enjoy the safety knowing that she is in good hands. Our dogs never participate in water sports without wearing one!

I would definitely think so. I bought this for my pug puppy (who is roughly similar size to a Cairn) for the exact same reason as you and it has been absolutely perfect-- much larger than her crate and enough room for a bed, food and water bowl, wee wee pads and room to walk around/play. I usually line the bottom with wee wee pads. This comes up to about my waist when I'm standing, maybe a little higher. My dog is a big biter/scratcher, but she hasn't been able to claw her way out of this. This has been incredibly helpful while we are at work, and she really likes it. Best part is it is easy to set up and folds completely flat for travel/storage. I would recommend it.

My dogs range from 8-20 lbs and I have used it for any of them, I think it would work perfect for a medium dog.

I carry my 20 lb pug in mine without difficulties, though of course it's a workout for your whole body, not just your upper body but also your core, back, and legs. He fits in it comfortably. I question, though, if there would be enough room for a 31 lb dog. I would check the manufacturer's weight limit because I know one was listed and I think it was about 30 lbs.

My pug is a male and he's about 16 or 17 lbs. He's had surgery and pees through an opening behind his penis (and dribbles now) and so we don't have to worry about it fitting over the penis - so it works for him. A small won't cover up the penis tho.

I can't say for certain that this dispenser will work for a Pug, but I think it would be fine. I would estimate that the dispenser part that the dog drinks from is approximately 3 1/2 to 4 inches wide; the dog can access it from the end or either side. If you fill it with water, then the dog doesn't really need to put its face into the dispenser; it's more like the dog could simply get near it and lap the water up with its tongue. I hope I'm describing this clearly.

I don't things so. Three 25lb pugs will fit and they are comfortable. We use it only as a stroller. Hope this helps.

I believe it would. Very easy to operate. I had a puppy from the pound, very skiddish, and she did not mind it at all.

I purchased MED for a 25 lb. dog. They are adjustable and the only one that works for a pug/pek mix.

no it wont... i have a jack russel/pug mix and hes only 13lbs and i had to get a medium for him. it works great and i love them for my dogs.. especially when we are away for a little while i dont have to worry about them marking in the house... after a while they learn to not do it at all and then you mite not have to use it on your dog. i have to every now and then remind them if they do mark in the house that they will have to wear it... mine tend to not like to wear it so after a day or 2 of having to wear it again they stop marking... just a little reminder to them as to what happens if you do mark in the house what happens..

Oh yeah. I use it for a 90 lbs shepherd. Keep in mind if your pit is determined to get out he will. I bought a kong kennel for my other shepherd. No other kennel would work for him.

My foster dog is 10 pounds and it was big for him your pug might be ok it will be a bit snug which i would have preferred. ,,before i bought mine i found a pet store that carried them and made sure it would fit

I use mine for a puggle. My large breed lab who is well over 130 lbs. won't use it. Think if it were broader width it might work but I'm not sure I would be comfortable with her using it.

Yes it is too light since my small chihuahua+pug mix weighing only 13 pounds pushed it open and also he can jump over it too and is not tall at all so I don't recommend it unless you got a puppy that is around 8 pounds or less since when my dog was a puppy it was fine as soon as he got big adult size at 13 pounds he learned to open it by pushing it and then breaking it since he pushed it so many times it came apart and after I brought a new one since the other one he broke he ended up learning how to jump over it so it was a waste of money for me i should of got the more expensive higher one

I have a 20 pound pug. I got the small size and it is just perfect for her.

We purchased ours for an 8lb puppy. I believe that the instructions say its for dogs 8lbs and up. The collar can be made smaller or bigger, you just have to be careful of the antenna located in the collar. It worked well with our puppy. Also there are different settings for the strength of the shock so make sure it's not on the highest setting when you first try it. You can work your way up to find the setting that works best.
