(More customer reviews)I got legs out small for my 6 lb chiwawa. (spelling?) Unfortunately, where the front arms are supposed to go through are too low; i.e. it is for 'short' dog. From shoulder to rump where tail starts, my dog is @ 10", this carrier is made for @ 7". What I did, and it works great now, is attached new shoulder straps. I bought snap buttons from walmart for @ $1.50, and after cutting off two 3" lengths of excess strap from belt of carrier (my waist is 34" so there is enough for probably size 44" waist to use this product, and my chest is size 42...no problems fitting me...perhaps up to size 50 would fit), and of course burn/singe ends of cut belt to prevent fray, installed buttons on straps and carrier. They go over shoulders, next to neck of my pooch. Works great, looks good, last long time...think "suspenders".
If you look at the picture, the person is short so dog looks long. If my dog were in that picture you'd see her front arms over the top of the hole where model dog's arms come through...and my dog is normal, stocky looking. If yours is under 10lbs, measure shoulder to rump/tail. If more than 8" expect to need to install new straps. I wouldn't recommend going to medium size carrier if your under 10lb because the rest of fit is good..snug but not too tight around rest of body.
OTHER: Easy to load dog. Front panel disconnects except at bottom and folds down for insertion of doggie, via 4 velcro straps above hind leg opening & 2 plastic, adjustable clip above front leg opening. It is well padded. I was comfortable wearing with dog in; & felt dog was comfortable the whole time and we enjoyed it. I did not see any places that might rub/irritate animal. Stitching looks good. There are no pockets in carrier, that would be nice for treats or baggies.
If you can install button snaps or velcro, you can be confident this will fit your canine under 10lbs.
