Yeah it is pretty big, so if you have a very small dog they will have a lot of room, but for me, it doesn't feel too big to carry around. I guess it's different for different people. You could look at this thread

A lot of people post pictures in that thread ^^ that give you a better idea about how big it is. If you look through it there is one pic of someone holding it and it really shows you how big it's gonna be.
Hope that helped.
