| Bag size? How did you determine what size bag to get to carry your dog? I'm looking at some of the Celltei carriers or something similar but I'm not sure what size would be the best. |

| Depends. Mia is 3 lbs. at 10 weeks, so I am guessing she is at least going to be 7-8 lbs full grown. I got a small size pet flys bag, which accomodates pets up to 11 lbs. We may or may not need to get another one in a couple of years depending on how much she grows. Right now its kinda big for her but it comes with a blanket, which I spread over the base, and I also toss a plush toy in there. Mia seems pretty comfy in it. This is the one I have: http://www.petflys.com/pawprincess.html You might also consider going to a more upperscale pet store where they would have the bags on site (they had celltei, pet flys and a couple others at the one I went to), and try them out. It is very difficult to order online. Good luck and have fun!

| I bought an xs celltei carrier (pak-o-pet) thinking that Oscar would be about 4 to 4.5lbs full grown. He's 8mths and just under 3lbs right now - he has LOTS of room in the bag. At this point, because he is used to the bag and quite comfortable with cozy spaces, I'd order him a petite size. I'd def say that if you expect your dog to be under 5lbs that an XS is a great size. (that's just for celltei's though, but you could always compare the dimensions of the celltei's XS to the dimensions of other bags you're looking at).

| 10wks and 2lbs I have the small pak-o-pet Celltei and Phoebe has tons of room. I debated about buying the xs or small. I didn't want it to be so noticeable. She has lots of room in the small and if she gets to be 5 or 6lbs I don't think she'll out grow it. For the cost of the celltei bags I didn't want to have to keep buying different sizes. Good luck....it took me weeks before I settled
