📏 Recommended Pod Size

The Original Travel Dog Pod is an ideal fit for a Shih Tzu.
Their compact, rounded shape makes them natural curlers, and the Pod offers just the right amount of space for them to settle comfortably without feeling overwhelmed.

🐶 Multi-Dog Capacity

Two Shih Tzus can share one Original Pod comfortably — especially if they’re a bonded pair or accustomed to sleeping close together.

Each Pod includes two built-in safety leashes, perfect for securing one or two dogs during travel.

👀 Breed-Specific Tips

Shih Tzus are generally calm, cuddly, and comfort-oriented.
They love curling into soft corners, and the Pod’s plush, enclosed interior suits their temperament perfectly.

💡 Alternative Options

If your Shih Tzu is on the fluffier side, or if you’d like extra space for stretching during long trips, the XL Pet Pod is a great alternative.
