What is the width of the sling the dogs measure F? What I want to know how wide is the girdle the dog lays on?

The width between the aluminum sides is about 1 foot. There is a back area where the dogs body rests on adjustable nylon straps with rubber padding. These can be adjust from 1 foot to maybe 2 foot or more so the dog can rest lower down between the aluminum sides. There is a front harness that goes around the front legs that also can be adjusted. The back wheels can be adjusted up or down also to get a better fit. We purchased this large dog wheelchair for our German Shepard who weighs in at right around 100 lbs. It was fine when he was paralized but after surgery to was actually a little to small for the rehab as his feet would drag a bit when he was first learning how to walk again. He is about 16 - 17 inches at the chest. I hope that this will help you out.

The straps are adjustable, and can be adjusted quite long so I think you would be able to stand straight. Also, the torso is shorter than the pic looks, but it worked well with my 70lb lab- I just had to hold the front of the sling when I carried her upstairs to keep if from slipping down her deep chest. The sling is very well made and sturdy- it was a lifesaver after knee surgery.

My dog wasn't completely still while measuring, but the regular bone is about 1.75 inches long and a little less than 1.5 inches wide.

I don't remember exactly the measurements, but I also use it for the same thing and works for my little dog.

It's maybe ten inches across, so, good for a small dog. It has a soft sleeve, but it might be better to take it off and slip it into the bed.

I think it depends on 'how small'? I got the 4-line for my dog, and it's 3/4 inch wide. I'm guessing the 1-line one (or MAYBE the 2-line) would be about 3/8 inch. Send your question to the vendor. He is excellent, very responsive.

Hello, I'll measure it tonight and post a reply. My dog LOVED his goughnut. It's lots of fun for playing fetch... and it's virtually indestructible. He shredded everything else he chews on.

the strap that is on top of the dog is too narrow, I believe it bothers/hurts the animals back/spine, if u loosen it then urine escapes. I believe the strap should be wider.

I am 5'4" and with my 9 lb. Shih Tzu in the sling, it falls to just below my hip. If u find it's too low...you could always have the shoulder strap shortened.

It's about 5-6". Here's a pic of it laying next to my 10lb rat terrier lolhttp://i.imgur.com/xR8Mwyd.jpg

size x-small for dogs up to 18 pounds and 15" to 19" girth. (measure widest part of the rib cage) .

I don't have it to measure right now but it was the perfect size for our 18 lb mini schnauzer on trip to Grand Canyon. She could sit up and there was room for her to comfortably nap without being cramped. Hope this helps.

I'd say approximately 3-4" wide. I use it on my chihuahua & also my German Shepard.

I wish I could help, but we haven't been able to use ours very often. It's really difficult to get the leg straps on my dog since he can't stand to put them on. I'm still using a sling to get him outside. I hope you find a solution soon!

Sorry. Can't help you. Mine came with a sling. Got four squirrels with it today though.

The service vest has a strap that goes under the belly just behind the shoulders and another that goes from front left shoulder to front right shoulder across the chest. Girth is how big your dog's belly is. The chest strap is adjustable so you don't need to worry about that measurement. Other comments have made excellent suggestions about how to measure girth.

it is approx 4' x 5'. It has good coverage and the smaller arm sling is about 2' wide. The neck pillow was too big for me to use comfortably behind my neck but I had a window seat and could use it to rest my head on the side of the plane. I liked it and definitely recommend it.
