Little Chonk built the Maxine One for dogs who need to travel but don’t fit in a standard tote. This medium carrier handles back lengths from 14 to 19 inches and chest girths up to 30 inches, which puts it squarely in Cocker Spaniel, Beagle, or Shiba Inu territory. The rigid construction keeps the bag from sagging under your dog’s weight, so both of you maintain better posture during longer carries.

The carrier measures 14.5 by 5 by 22.5 inches, with tubular grab handles on all four sides. That means you can pick it up from any angle without fighting awkward balance. Whether you’re loading it into the car or carrying it through a train station, the handles give you a solid grip. The included size guide is worth checking before purchase — this isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, and a poorly fitted carrier defeats the purpose.

One honest note: the 3.4-inch depth when packed means it stores flat, but the rigid structure doesn’t collapse fully. That’s the trade-off for the back-supporting frame. If your dog falls outside the size range, look elsewhere. For medium breeds that need a stable, carry-friendly setup, the Maxine One delivers exactly what it promises.
