You should check with the site you are considering purchasing from and ask them which size would be the most appropriate for Joey. Better to be safe than sorry! |
Large holds up to 18 pound dog. Here is what one reviewer said about Large: "Nicely made, sturdy. A little more ventilation would be nice but overall is working. My chihuahua is 11 pounds. I went with the large for fear she would out grow the smaller size. In hindsight I would go with a smaller size. The large is a bit to roomy."
Standard holds up to 11 pound dog. Here is a critical review of the Standard size: "I bought the "standard" size as my dog is 11 pounds. However, it is huge for her. She can not put her head out of the slit opening easily.... Fundle does have a new style that is all mesh for "summer" which I suggest you look at if you are thinking of getting this. The standard is much larger than I thought it would be. I think you need to take in consideration the height and length of your dog when looking at getting one of these, and if your dog is "strong" enough to handle putting its head out; and don't bother with the cover."
Most of the reviews of the Standard size are glowing, and there is even a review by someone with a dog that had luxating patella surgery. It was perfect for carrying the dog after the surgery: "I have a toy poodle (8 lbs) who had extensive surgery on both rear legs for a condition called luxating patellas. I was told she'd need to stay confined for a minimum of 6 weeks while her knees healed. I knew I couldn't carry her in my arms continually while home, so I purchased the Fundle to use in my 2 story home. It arrived the day before surgery on April 30. She is very finicky, but didn't object to the sling. After our poodle came home, I have used the sling continually both inside the home & while running errands. She BEGS me to put her in the Fundle & carry her! It's so portable & the padded cushion headrest is perfect. As the brochure says, "Your pet will jump right into it. " Even after our dog is healed, I know I will continue to use the Fundle on outings! It's worth every penny! It's an absolutely amazing product!"
If you can find one in a store that you can see up close and in person, you might want to bring Joey along for a test drive.
