Why it matters

Little Chonk sizes the Maxine One by measurements: back length 14–19 in and chest girth 19–30 in, for breeds like Cocker Spaniels, Beagles, Shiba Inus and Mini Schnauzers, up to 50 lb. Rigid construction helps keep your back straight, tubular grab handles on all four sides make loading easier, there is a tail port, and zippers lock.
