Would a shepherd (laying down) need L or XL? How does the dog get in? Could she be lifted in? She can't walk.

Good Sunday morning! We have the XL model and can accommodate two dogs. One is a 70 lb. Olde English Bulldogge and the other is a Boston Terrier mix about 38 lbs. Having four wheels is key as the weight shift within is inevitable as they move around so won't tip over. Most of the upper part of the carrier is mesh. The top unzips and so does the whole front end for ease of entry/exit. The carrier sits about 5-6" off the ground so not too difficult to help an ailing dog inside. Our Bulldogge is invalid and frequently needs a "boost" to get inside and BOTH dogs love it! We put a cushion inside to lay on as the floor is firm. Would strongly recommend this carrier. Hope that helps!!

I'm very happy.... and my dog he's super!!! The only thing is that he doesn't want to walk like before.... I bought it for me, cause I couldn't walk long roads, cause he was tired. Now I can walk whatever I want and he is happy too.

I would definitely get the XL size for her. She can be lifted in; the front panel unzips all around the two sides and bottom, making it easy for you to place her inside. You might want a dog bed for the inside to make the ride more comfortable.

It is 6 inches above ground+ cover has several inches edge. If you look at front the black rectangle has a zipper all the way around it. You would have to lift her in because it would require a big knee lift on the dog's part. Not sure at about the l or XL question. I put 70 lbs of dauchshunds in mine and they fit roomily. Maybe a flatbed wagon would work for you and be easier to load. Mine can run away so I needed a closed option.

My dog weighs about 45 or 50 lbs and it is really too small for her. My dog refused to go inside and the opening is small and feels restrictive.

HI--I checked my dog's crate--there is a larger grid on the bottom--no problem yet with pan sliding. I bought her the mat for it, too, which she loves. It's about 2 in thick, foam covered with a nice fuzzy material, paid about 26 bucks for it My dog weighs 35 lb. She can turn around in it--you know how they do before they lay down. If I were you I would get the next larger size for your dog. I think my gal feels more secure in her crate. Awaiting some T-storms to see if she will go in it then.

Hi! Sorry? Just saw this from yesterday right now. I got it large for my 34 pound mixed breed, and I wouldn't get it any smaller. So, definitely go with the large? Also, I actually looked at a YouTube because I couldn't figure out how to put it on.mi'm not stupid, just too impatient to read directions so I exhaust myself! Lol. It's a great thing. She walks so much better! Good luck!

I have a 75 pound shepherd, she is wearing an XL. It has a lot of room to make it bigger tho. If he's a puppy and 55 lbs I would for sure do XL.

You need enough space for the dog to stand up in comfortably. Also it needs to be wide and deep enough for them to move around some and lay comfortably. Measure you dog and see.

I believe this only comes in one size (see the dimensions in the desciption). I bought one for my dog in Oct. and he loves to snuggle down in it on a pillow when we travel. But my dog is 10 pounds, and he and the pillow are just enough to be comfortable. I would say a 20 pound dog would be a really close fit. I don't believe the dog would really be able to turn around or move much at all,and definitely not if you want to add anything like a pillow or blanket. That said,it is a well made carrier. Maybe the company has something else that would work better for your pooch.

sorry I can't help. he xlg I bought is big enough for two big dogs. I'd try to contact seller/source: dog bed king. it's hard to get precise product info.

Don't know how if this remark will help or not -- I have a 110 lb German Shepherd with a 37 inch (girth) chest measurement. We got the "XL" because of her weight and measurement and actually it's kind-of loose on her. She does swim in it okay most of the time, but we have to start out with it being really snug before heading into the lake. This item is really helpful when we can tell she's tired and ready to head back to shore, it does keep her bobbing along with no problems (she's 14 years old).

We have a lab mix who weighs at least 70 lbs and still growing, not quite a year old yet. She gets in and out of the kennel just fine. The kennel is large, so she also has room to pick her special comfortable spot instead of feeling cramped up.

A Med will be too small. My lab is 50-55 lbs and the M is too small for her. The L/XL works perfectly. You'll just need to do some adjusting before the first use.

Hi, my son has a 22 pound Corgi , Corgi's have very long bodies and very short legs......she needed height to see out! However, she could only sit in this car seat and could not lie down -was too small for her long body...they returned it and bought 2 long outdoor seat cushions and stacked them ( for a 2 person couch outdoor love seat so the cushions could handle wet feet and mud easily ) and a chest harness for the dog that attaches to the seat belt - so she won't choke or fly forward if they stop suddenly...she can sit and lie down as she pleases...every dog is different... if your dog is going on long trips then it is important that it can lie down in it's seat and not just see out...good luck!

Not really...your dog would have room to move around for sure. We put our two dogs (20 lbs, 14lbs) inside and they have only room to sit or stand..they can't lay down inside without sitting on each other. Your dog would be comfy I would think..plus room for toys, etc. Hope that helps!

I think the XL should be fine, I don't know what you mean by "too much support" but I don't think that would be an issue. My 60lbs Basset Hound and my 130lbs St. Bernard/Great Dane mix can both cuddle on the bed (though mostly it's just used by my big guy).

I would get the xl for sure except the dimensions are a little "off" in my opinion (too square). Most lg breed dogs like to stretch out and just like us humans we like to have some xtra space beyond our reach when fully stretched. I highly recommend any of these "orthopedic" beds for younger dogs, in fact the earlier you start them on one , the better. (Nothing like preventative maintenance!) I would not recommend the denim though because it's kind of slippery. Good Luck!

I think you would be better off with one that your dog zips into. This one would not offer much space for a dog bigger than 3 lbs. To lay down in. Go to a local pet supply and try some, then order it on Amazon.
