Standard Schnauzer – Recommended Dog Pod SizeUpdated 5 days ago

Size Category: Medium

Weight Range: 14–20 kg

Build/Body Type: Square, sturdy, muscular frame with a medium-to-large footprint. Upright posture, often prefers space to shift positions or stretch out.

📏 Recommended Pod Size

For Standard Schnauzers, the XL Pet Pod is the best overall fit.

Their solid build and square proportions often make the Original feel too tight, especially during longer journeys or when using the Pod as a home bed.
The XL offers the space they need to stretch out, change positions, and settle deeply and comfortably.

Many Schnauzers also benefit from the XL’s extra stability and padding, which supports both their athletic body and their preference for a secure, defined resting area.

🐶 Multi-Dog Capacity

The XL Pet Pod can comfortably fit:

• one Standard Schnauzer with full comfort, or

• a Schnauzer + a smaller companion dog, if they’re comfortable sharing.

Two Standard Schnauzers should not share a single Pod — they need their own space to avoid crowding and discomfort.

Every Pod includes two built-in safety leashes, providing secure travel regardless of single or multi-dog use.

👀 Breed-Specific Tips

Standard Schnauzers are independent yet affectionate dogs who appreciate having their own space to retreat and relax.

The XL’s roomy interior supports:

• upright or curled resting styles,

• comfort during longer drives,

• and a calmer, more secure travel routine.

Because Schnauzers can be alert and reactive to motion or noise, the XL’s padded, enclosed sides help them feel grounded and at ease.
