HOW TO DETERMINE THE SIZE PILLOW/DOG CAR SEAT FOR YOUR PET? We are often asked, what size should I get? In all cases, as a general rule when in doubt get the larger size. Why? Because if the size you choose is too small, it will not do at all. If it is perhaps a little too big, at least it is big enough and it will do. For Dog Car Seat Lookouts and the Perch There are 4 Lookout Dog Car Seat Sizes to choose from: Console Lookouts for teacup size dogs, Regular Lookouts, Oversized Lookouts, and the My Buddy Lookout (which fits only in your back seat.) Some guidance on fit and size is already given on the main Dog Car Seats page Here. This amplifies that guidance. Bear in mind that the Lookouts were designed and made for dogs sitting up. However, we find that most customers want their pets to also be able to lie down. SO, right off the bat we are going to say to most customers consider Oversized Lookouts and/or the Perch but first follow the advice below and then return to the dogcarseats page to decide and order. If you want to be sure your
pet can lie down in a particular Lookout, take a piece of newspaper or
butcher paper and cut it to the interior dimensions of each Lookout. The
interior dimensions of the Lookouts are given
Here. Place your
pet on each piece of paper and have it lie down. That gives you a visual
representation of how your dog will fit lying down in each of the
Lookouts. This takes some work, but it is better to take this time now,
than to buy the wrong size and bear the expense and trouble of
returning the product. For Round and Rectangular Pillows For Answers on this as applies to the Beastly Deluxe line Oval pillows and pet furniture (sofas, daybeds, chaises, benches, etc.) go here. The Answers Below are for Snoozer Round and Rectangular Pillows which differ from the Beastly Line in size and shape. There are three rules of thumb often used when answering this question.
1) In general we believe that measuring the pet lying down as it is normally accustomed to lying, is the best way.
2) Using weight, for our standard Snoozer round pillows, which can be applied, with some judgment, to our rectangular pillows, use the following guidelines (the inches sizes are the diameter [width] of the pillow):
3) Using weight, for our Pet Sleeper Round pillows the weights are a little different:
Weight is always a guess-timate; for best results -- Measure!!!! Always. For pets over 175 lbs look to our Beastly Line of Sofas, Chaises, Daybeds, and Benches which will accommodate weight up to 200 lbs. But always remember, weight is the less perfect guideline to go by. The best guideline is to measure the pet as described above. Why order and then bear the expense of sending the bed back if it is not the right size? Measure first!!!!! Also, if in doubt, better to get the larger size, than the smaller. Small is always and forever too small, and will never do. Too big may be too big but it will do better than too small, which won't do at all. Quality is remembered long after Price is forgotten. Our prices are reasonable and our quality is great! |
