I have a 5 pound Chi with only two back legs, he always wants to sit up to see everything. Do you think this would be good for him as he get heavy.

It may work for you if he stays smaller, but think about his max weight. The dog does sit low like the pic, but You may be able to position him up a little more. My dog was a 7lb puppy at the time I was using it and really, that's too much weight to carry low like that. I almost altered it to be a few inches shorter. It does give them security and closeness to you as a puppy... I hope this helps.

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 would say yes but if it's a really small puppy you should watch him/her, I have a 4lb poodle and she loves them so I think it would be OK.

Most likely yes...my dog is roughly 21 lbs and he could fit in it, but since it is such a tight fit, he'd rather sit on top of it.

Yes, a small dog would be fine perched on this set of steps. I use this one in my Toyota SUV and turn it upside down in the space made by folding up the back passenger seat, which then turns it into a nice shopping catchall! I cannot lift my lab into the SUV, when I travel without my husband! Downside is that the steps on this slope slightly, so your dog will not be sitting on a completely flat surface. It looks pretty utilitarian, but is compact, lightweight and easy to carry. I bought a folding, wooden set of steps fro Amazon for the bedroom, so my dog can climb on the bed. Now that is a seriously good looking piece of furniture, but takes up space! Yes, a small dog would be fine perched on this set of steps.

You may get a few uses out of it, but I personally don't think it's sturdy enough for a larger dog. The back legs on the steps snap into place and are not meant to fold in and out regularly--which would mean the plastic snaps will eventually break. Plus, the back legs are thin. Very thin. I'm about 115 lbs. and I would NOT!!! go up and down on it myself.

In my opinion, no. My Chihuahua is only 9lbs and that was pushing it. It destroyed his back. Steroids & pain killers for 2 weeks for him. :(

I believe he would be comfortable. If when you see the booster seat you don't believe he will, it can always be easily returned. My little dog weighs 22lbs and she loves hers.

My pup has grown to 15 lbs now and I feel like its a bit small for him. What happens is a lot of times he'll lift his left and ends up aiming off the pad, or only his front paws are on the pad and his behind ends up off the pad. I guess it all depends on what size wee wee pads you use.

Yes, it is very good for small dogs, my dog is now 16 pounds and he is a very hyper dog... he manages to move it when he wants to get out so if your dog likes to jump a lot this will not hold as much, but overall it keeps him in there. He is a chewer too but has not been able to rip anything apart, also the bottom is washable so that's helpful but I don't really use it. Hope this helped!

For a big dog is good, I have a schnauzer is too big for him so I'm not using, but for a lab will be great will help your dog and your back.

I would, especially if she isn't full grown. My lab is now 105lbs and it held him up well. He loves floating!
1944126
Yes he would. But not for a very long trip. He can lay down comfortably but if you need to attach the food and water dish combo it gets a bit tide.... for him to turn around in it! My 12lb monster cat is very happy with it even on long trips - but he can turn easier than a short legged dog.... But it is perfect for a trip to the vet or a few hours on the road for a calm dog up to 15lb.

Have an 27 lb Chinese pug who has traveled the past 7 weeks in our carrier (it has been broken down to half capacity) he has done wonderfully in it, but not sure how a larger dog would do in it. He has. Had plenty of room but is a third of the size being asked about.

I have a 17 lb. doxie, he loves it, he sometimes almost tips it over trying to get in the just right position, he stays in it most all evening and sleeps in it in the daytime. It is fun to watch him getting in and turning around and he sleeps with his head out the door or sometimes just at the door. He seems to be quite comfortable. You can always send it back if it is not the right size.

It may be a tight squeeze. I have a 5-6 lbs Chihuahua and it fits pretty well. The width and length probably won't be an issue for your dog, it would be the height of your dog if she doesn't like to lay down.

I would say definitely not. Our dog is only 13.5 lbs when we bought it and if she stretches out, her legs are hanging out. She's 15 lbs now, it just seems right for her now.
