What is the size of this car seat? I have an 18 lbs shih tzu and not sure this would be large enough for him. Tks!

My Lewey is 9 pounds.It is 19in deep and 15 in tall (rough measurement). Lewey can curl up in it and stretch out with his head hanging over the side. I do think you might want a larger size. Lewey goes to the office with me each day (1 1/2 hour drive each way) so he spends a good amount of time in hhis car seat. If your dog is just running to friends homes short trips it would be fine. I love this car seat and so does Lewey.

I have 8 pound doxie and a 14 pound doxie. They both end up riding in the same seat frequently so it is plenty big enough for your little one. :-)I used to have a 18 pounder and it was good for him too.

I have an 18 lb dog and he fits just fine. Sometimes my other dog who is also 18 lbs tries to get in with him and it's a pretty snug fit. I have had the same problem as Nikki with seat panel collapsing and also put a folded blanket under it to support it. I also agree that the legs are very unstable and dangerous so we don't use them. The seat is high enough without them for the dog to see out while sitting in it.

I have a 12lb. yorkie and I haven't had any problems with the seat. It stays in place. I also use it in my back seat because my back seats will lay down (my car is a 2011) I keep it in the back seat all the time and it stays open and sits like the one in the picture. Good Luck I hope you can get it to work, our dog loves it she will ever fall to sleep in it.

We bought a medium for our 10 lb. Havanese. It is quite large. She can certainly spread out which will be good for long trips, but I really wish we had purchased a small for daily car rides. This seat is HUGE in the front passenger seat of our car (and we have a 2014 Toyota Sienna - not a small car) and will not fit in the back seat.

I have the large seat for my two small dogs. 11lbs and 5 lbs. They are comfortable. Also I don't think it's too big when just one dog is b using it. I guess it would depend on how much space is in your car. In my SUV its fine but in my sedan it can be tight. I do like this seat. I feel safe because it is so secure and my dog isn't ring to jump in my lap while I'm driving. Plus they love looking out the windows!

I have a puppy that weighs 6lbs and will only get to 10-15lbs when grown and it fits her prefect now with room to grow. I had it out of the car yesterday and she was trying to get on the console so she could sit there it was really funny.

I'm not for sure the dimensions but my puppy is a Shi tzu and he fits inside it with room to spare. It's not for large dog.

Depends on how close your Shih Tzu is to 10lbs. We have a 10 lb Chihuahua and this carrier fits him nicely. If he was much bigger he would not have enough room.

We also have an 18 lb Shih Tzu - that is large for Shih Tzus.We think you need the large size - our dog could can barely stand up in it, but generally OK. No complaints from our dog (other than not liking the takeoff noise.)Regarding regulations, it can be tricky. I think it is larger than normally allowed (we did not ask, and no one complained - so it worked out for us).We were flying JetBlue and got the "Extra Space" option, which gives a couple extra inches.Good luck.

I have a 4 lb Yorkshire Terrier and I got this so he would have lots of room if we leave him at home. Have another carrier that is much smaller that I would use for the car. I would think a 15 lb dog would be good with this in a car. Should fit in back seat possibly front seat of a mid size car.

I have a shih tzu so it's smaller than a medium dog. She has plenty of room in there, she can walk around and play with toys. We have food and water and a bed in there and there's plenty of space. I'm sure it would work if it was a medium sized dog! :)

The product is specified as Medium size, Measures at: 13.5'' Height X 7.5'' Width X 6.5'' Depth.Measure your lil pooch from head end (not tail end). If I recall there is an opening for their tail. Hopefully he/she will fit. "Good luck."I had one for my Pug pup and used it when biking. It was a head turner! Great product!

My one mastiff is 83 lb. Sometimes she curls up but when she stretches all the way out, she always has her head on the headrest. My big boy always uses the headrest. But I bet the large would be more than sufficient for your girl.

the one i got is kind of big for my shih tzu but its a bit big but still its comfortable and it is adjustable. It will definately fit your dog

Wow, 40lbs is pretty big for a seat like this. I have one dog (Australian Labradoodle) who weighs 30lbs and she takes up the whole thing and it is a tight fit. I really bought it for my 20lb dog who fits perfectly. How about a fleece doggie jacket and a seat pad for the seat?

I have a shih tzu and she is 9 lbs. she seems to be good. I believe it fits up to 12-15 lb dogs. It's a nice cage.

I have a 14lb. shihtzu and he fits perfectly. I think there would probably be room for a small dog also, but they would be pretty close to one another. If they get along good it might work. The inside of mine measures almost 1ft.wide, about 23in. long and about 17in tall. The front kind of rounds off to where it isn't very tall, but a little hiney would probably fit there.:) I love the one I have, it's really nice for the money. Hope I've been of some help.
