How do I choose the right size for my dog?

For the Small size, measure your dog’s chest girth and back length; use weight as an additional reference. The Small size fits a 11.5–16 in chest (29.2–40.6 cm) and a 9.4–11 in back (23.9–27.9 cm). The Medium size fits 10–20.5 lb (4.5–9.3 kg), a 15.2–23.2 in chest (38.6–58.9 cm), and an 11–13 in back (27.9–33 cm). If your dog falls between sizes, use chest and back length to guide your choice.

• Maximum owner waist-belt circumference: 41.73 in (106 cm).
• The adjustable system is designed to accommodate wide chests and long bodies.

How does the carrier help keep a dog supported?

The structured base helps limit sagging and forward leaning, while the central chest buckle helps reduce shifting and instability. Together, these features are designed to support a more upright, stable position during walks, hikes and daily use.

• Use the dog’s chest girth and back length when checking the fit.
• Adjustable positioning is also designed for growing puppies.

How does entry work, and what comes with the carrier?

A buckle-entry system lets you place your dog in the carrier without using zippers that can catch fur. A treat pouch is included for carrying snacks, waste bags or other small essentials during walks and outdoor activities.

• The entry design is intended to make placement quick and smooth, including when a dog is unsettled.
• The pouch keeps small walk essentials together with the carrier.
