Question 1

Will this fit my 10lb dog that is 14" High and 13" from collar to base of tail?

Accepted Answer

Hi Dee, that should actually be a pretty optimal fit for the Aspen Series backpack, just keep in mind in backpack mode it’s vertical nature. The smaller Original Backpack model would likely be a bit small, but this model is well suited for a bit larger pet. Do be sure to check out the Insta at Mr Peanuts Pet Carriers for a lot of user contributions that help show sizing for various sized pets.

Question 2

Has anyone used this with a mini dachshund? I want a pack pack option that can be used on planes long enough for a Doxi body

Accepted Answer

I was able to travel on Southwest & Spirit airlines with two 8 pound poodles inside one travel backpack. They had plenty of room to turn around inside the bag. The backpack fits perfectly under the window and aisle seats. Under the middle row seat is a bit more tight but doable.

Question 3

The photos are from two different model carriers - one has a pocket for a water bottle on the left and one has a flat pocket. Which one is newer?

Accepted Answer

Hi Tam, very true, the newest updated model includes the bottle pocket. As many users know I am never satisfied with any of the models and all are works in process as I do not mass produce, so each is constantly updated over production runs.

Question 4

Flying on spirit airline I have a small frenchie she is about 17lbs and small would this be a great fit

Accepted Answer

Hi Sumara,

For sure, the nice thing about all of the backpack models is they are designed to lay on their padded but thinner back sides for under seat use, so they have a natural advantage over pet carriers due to their vertical layout that makes it easy to use under seat. Especially helpful with taller pets as well.

I always recommend measuring your pet while comfortably laying down, as many pets will tend to curl up a bit. Weight alone is not a good indicator for sizing. Keep in mind airline capable carriers are limited in sizing by under seat constraints, so we want a carrier that's comfortable but that is also under seat compliant. Interior measurements of any model will be a bit less than maximum exterior simply due to fabric and padding thicknesses. Only the smallest of small pets can fully stand with an airline capable model, a crouch is more typical. While the Mini is about 14” (35.5cm) on the interior length, most of the standard sized models are about 16" (41cm) on the interior, while the larger Big Apple model is about an 18" (46cm) interior. It is about 2” (5cm) longer at 20” (51cm) exterior than most airlines will spec, but it’s built for those pets where there is simply not an option for a smaller size. The Big Apple model has been on the market for a long period of time now, literally sold worldwide, and a very popular model. I have yet to receive a review or complaint of it not being accepted by an airline.

And for taller pets or those users who seek to take the weight off of your shoulders be sure to look over the backpack models like the Monterey, Vancouver, Aspen and Tahoe Series. They free up your hands in busy airports and are designed to also lay flat under the seat on their back sides as well.
