Detailed Pet Carrier Sizing Guide


The names of the pet carriers may be confusing as to what size dog it works for. Not all small pet carriers are for small dogs. Please reference the dog size and maximum weight on the product pages.

We have made it easy to find the pet carrier that is right for your dog. Below is a chart that shows which types of dogs fit in to which dog carrier.

Because all dogs are different and vary in size within each breed, we recommend you use the guide below before you buy to ensure the exact fit for your particular dog. Even though the airline pet carrier size is not always related to the weight of the dog, we have provided general weight ranges for each size. Please keep in mind that the sizing guides are for adult dogs.
