I used a medium puppia vest for my 10&amp;1/2 lbs shitzu and it fit perfect, but reading the reviews on this puppia, I am not sure of the size

My dog is a chiquaqua and weights about 8 pounds. The medium size fits her well but is not overlarge. I normally buy a small for her.

I ordered a size 2 and it fits perfectly. I have a Chihuahua that weighs 9 pounds. He is a very active 2 year old, and his "vest" does not prevent him from any activities. I typically order a small size when the only sizes available are S,M,& L. Hope this helps.

Hello, I have a minpin/shitzu mix he's about 7 lbs. I purchased the smallest size and they were a perfect fit for him.

I have 2 10lb Shihtzu's and I have found that the Medium Size fits them both extremely good. And Puppia is an excellent harness. I highly recommend it.

Sorry to just respond. I have a pitbull mix (about 75 pounds with a chest measurement of 28 inches). We ordered a medium and it fits well when the straps are all-the-way tightened. Not sure what's best for your dog. If your dog is full-grown, then probably a small.

My little guy, who recently passed, was a 10 lb Chihuahua mix - he was pretty hefty and took a small in these. I'm thinking you may want to go up to the medium.

I think I would go for an adult vest in a size small. If you can, measure her around the chest, and you can go by the exact dimensions listed. I went by weight, and that was a mistake.

I have found that this vest runs a bit smaller than is stated. My Vizsla has a 26inch chest and the medium is too small. I had to get her a Large. Even though the Medium says it fits up to a size 27inch chest. Good luck!

i agree with Deborah Brown's comment. I returned the medium as well. mu chiuaua is 10 lbs and is 9" at shoulder and 13" long from chest to start of tail. seeing only the medium size, i'd need an extra large (which i don't think think they make. it seems like the medium would work for teacup sized dogs (< 5lbs) that are very docile.

I use this for my 4 lb Yorkie. It's great but I think a 10 lb shih tzu would be really uncomfortable, a tight squeeze. I would go medium if possible.

I had an xsmall for my Chinese Crested and MinPin/Chi mix. I felt they were much too small with both dogs. the small fits both perfect. I don't think weight plays much in sizing...all about making sure straps fit snug without the eyes bulging, which the xsmall did.

My dog has the same measurements as yours. I got the medium and it fits perfectly.

My dog is 18" in length, 22" girth & weighs 28# & the medium fits her great...............!!! I was concerned if I needed to go with the large with the reviews I read, too. Very glad I went with the medium & there's still room for adjustment if she gains more weight. Really great quality & fit with this vest............very happy with my purchase.........!!! I especially love the float under the head/jaw area to keep their heads up above water....!! Hope this helps..........!!!!

I ordered a small for my 19-pound beagle-mix and it fits fine. The medium might be too big for your pup.

Not quite sure. I have an 11lb Shih Tzu and it fits very nicely. Just my opinion from looking at the one in from of me, it may be too big for a dog that small.

Thank you for your question! These vests are sized by measuring your pup's girth. The Tiny size is for pets who are 10-14 inches, XS for 14-18 inches, Small for 17-22 inches, Medium for 22-26 inches, Large for 26-30 inches, and XL is for 30-37 inches.

My dog is pretty long tall and lean and the medium was good. I think a small might be good for you unless his chest is big for his size. There is quite a bit of leeway on the straps as well.
