3.0 out of 5 stars ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS for size medium differ from product description, June 19, 2010

This review is from: Kyjen Outward Hound Front Carrier (Misc.)

I bought this product through Amazon from PPE Pet Supplies simply because it was the cheapest price. Amazon was selling the same product in a smaller size and/or color for almost ten dollars more. I paid $21.78 for a black size medium--including shipping. Amazon is now selling this size and color--but the product description is STILL INACCURATE.

First, you should note that the product description stays almost the same no matter what size you choose--and ALL SIZES make the claim that the product will hold up to 20 pounds. (as of this writing, anyways.) I read many reviews before deciding my best bet was to save myself both heartache and ten bucks by ordering a size medium--when more than likely I only needed a size small.

My dog is a Chihuahua and weighs in at eight pounds. I'm sure the small would have worked as she has plenty of room in the size medium, and really, the product is a little too "TALL" for her when she sits with all fours on the bottom of the product. But it works fine and was worth this non-perfection in order to save ten bucks.

So here are the ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS of this product: SIZE MEDIUM, BLACK--bottom that your dog will sit and/or lay in measures 9X11. That means it measures ELEVEN INCHES LONG (the length of your pet???) by NINE inches wide (how wide is your pet?) And it is 9.5 inches HIGH. (how tall is your pet when SITTING?????) My little girl's chin does NOT reach 9.5 inches when she is sitting, so I sort of pull down gently on the canvas and help her peek over it. More often than not she rides with her front paws hanging over the edge and cushions herself.

One last thought--the bottom of this product bends/bows with the weight of the dog. I personally couldn't imagine it carrying a 20 pound dog. If you're dog weighs more than 15 pounds--even if she/he would fit, I don't think you'd be happy toting your dog very far in this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does run small, but works well, July 11, 2008

First, as a side note, the carrier I received was all black, not black and blue as pictured. My 12-pound Norwich Terrier just fit (she's pretty sturdily built) and I don't think a dog any larger than that would fit comfortably. The carrier is fairly easy to adjust, although I did tend to keep a hand under the bottom because Gabby filled it entirely and the center of gravity is different than a baby, who usually either faces you or has their back flush with your chest. A dog tends to be looking outward, which pulls you forward a bit. The collar clip was sufficiently long to attach to Gabby's harness and seemed secure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will not hold a 20 pound dog, December 18, 2005

This is a great bag, and my Chihuahua puppy loves it...however, if you have an animal larger than 7-10 pounds, you would need one size bigger. the compartment size is about the size of a six pack of coke, so bear that in mind. I know for a fact that my 19 pound pug would not fit half of him in there. Otherwise, the bag is great construction, and a cute idea.
