a lot of people say this front pack runs small. I have a 6-7 pound chihuahua. should i get the small or the medium?

I'm sorry, but I can't remember what size I bought and it is not on the carrier. Whatever it was, my 14 pound Norwich Terrier fits into it perfectly.

My chihuahua/rat terrier mix weighs exactly 9 lbs. I would prefer to have extra room rather than a tight fit but u r right at borderline bet. small & medium.

I have an 11lb Yorkie and she fits just fine and loves the view, as well as the ride!

The only thing that matters is length not weight. I say you would be fine with either size. :)

I would say medium. My chihuahua is about the same size and it fits her very good.

Definitely medium. That's what I have for my yorkie who is about 6.5 and it's perfect. They absolutely run very small.

We have an 8 pound chihuahua and it literally falls off him. However your talking about 18 pounds vs 8 pounds, so I would really say no, you need a medium.

Our puppy is 6lb. It might b little too small. U might want to go up a size.

The X-Small may be too small. You may need a larger unit. My chihuahua was less than 5 pounds and it was too heavy for him. He was 17. The unit was very well made and I kept it in case I ever came across someone who may need it, but my dog never used it. He was just way too little. If your dog is strong, which 25 pounds sounds like he can handle the weight, the unit is very sturdy. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I purchased a small for my two dogs, one is about 15 lbs, the other 17lbs and they fit just perfectly. I would probably suggest an XS for your pups. :)

I ordered a size 2 and it fits perfectly. I have a Chihuahua that weighs 9 pounds. He is a very active 2 year old, and his "vest" does not prevent him from any activities. I typically order a small size when the only sizes available are S,M,& L. Hope this helps.

A medium is too large. I recommend the small. My 75 pound pit mix takes the medium.and it fit s perfectly.

I ordered an xsmall and had to return it for the small. My dog is a pugalier and I think she is about the same size as your dog. She weighs about 24 lbs. I didn't want it to be too tight on her upper body. I thought they run a little small.

I have a 6 lb yorkie and she fit perfectly into the x-small. I recently uploaded a pic of her under the reviews. IT was so comfy that she immediately fell asleep. The weight of the xs is also perfect for the Yorkie's fragile neck. Good Luck with your pup.

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!

Go by the weight of your dog. The packs range sizes by weight, if you base your decision on that, you will do fine. If it helps, my dog is lean and about 40 lbs. He wears a medium, he will end up being close to 50lbs when full grown and it will still fit him fine.

My Chihuahua is almost 5 pounds but her girth or chest area is wide so she is ok with Small. I tried XS before but too tight. I think small will be fine for your poodle. You could always sew it to make it more snug.

I have a 7# Yorkie and bought the small size.so I would think medium would be fine ..it does expand quite a bit.

I have fit many dogs in these carriers and I would probably go with a medium for a 10 lb dog. A small is maxed out at 10 lbs the med would be a little more roomier for her or him

I agree that the small would probably be a good choice. My dogs are around 20lbs, but were a little heavier in the past. I have to cinch a medium down about as small as it goes to fit the neck. I was afraid that something that fit a 6 lb dog, the small, might not fit mine, but the straps are long to allow for a wide range of size variation. Knowing that now, I think a small would have been fine for mine as well.

I would get a large or extra large. The Medium is nice for my two chihuahuas with some room to spare but I think it'd be too small for your german shepherd.
