if you get the large, is there a way to zip up the excess/adjust (i have a retriever puppy who will eventually need a large, but fits small now

The easiest way to adjust the space would be to just stuff a blanket in there.

There are velcro points to reduce the length of the tube -- I think there are 2 points so you could have three lengths. These are a little tough to snap together as it wants to expand, but you can get it done. One caution, don't try to carry a heavy animal like that. The velcro is likely to come undone and expand the tube. All said though, I love this for my cats riding in the backseat. I've found it much better than a hardside carrier and much easier to get them into.

Ours fits nicely on the back seat. Straps in with the seat belts, so it's safe. We got a larger one, but you can squeeze it together a bit so that it's not so long. Then as your pet gets bigger, just let the carrier out more. I have a cat and have a good size tube, but I also have room for a blanket inside it too. It was an excellent purchase for us. I recommend it.

No there isn't a way to section off or "shrink" the large. Think of it as a stretched out slinky covered in cloth...I will tell you two full size cats, 10 pounds each, were really comfortable. I wonder though, if you want the large. I think dogs owners buy "crates" in large so their dogs don't feel confined and have that den feeling. Same could be said with this pet tube kennel. Family member borrowed for her dog, a King Charles Spaniel and he liked the spaciousness. I hope I helped!!

I found the directions to measure around the chest from behind the front legs to be accurate as to size. Our German shepherd was growing so fast that got one size larger which she quickly grew into. It is highly adjustable and a very sturdy vest and easy to adjust. Good luck with your pup. Ours belongs to Seeing Eye so we have to give her back; it will not be easy.

I can relate to your question, we have had the same problem. Our dog is 12 pounds and 12 inches long. We bought the medium size and it fits perfect. These are nice because they have elastic by the top end of the legs (close to the hip area), this helps them to fit better. I think you will be happy with this product.

You'll want to get the biggest size. I believe i ordered the biggest size for my bichon.

Go with a large. You can always adjust it to be smaller not bigger. I have a Rottweiler and I wish I have gottan the large size.

We have a 14 lb corgi and the large fits her fine. Had to send a medium back. Works great too, BTW.

Our dog was just under and the vest(small) was a tiny bit snug. Don't know what next size up would be but rather have it not slip. At 20# might try up a size. Good luck

No, the XL just fit my B Lab that weighs about 50 lbs. I really like the ZenDog better then the others because it has a good fit. Even though it is a struggle to get it over their heads and feet in, it has the consistent snug. The wrap ones do not seem to get that snug consistently as one has to really work to get it wrapped around them.

Hello, It is tough to say without the girth measurement. I think the large will work for a long time but he could out grow it. However, the X-Large might not fit right now and he will have to grow into it. If you measure his girth and let me know I'll be able to better fit him into the right vest. Regards, Doggie Stylz

We ordered a L for our 17 pound cockapoo. I will go and see if I can upload a picture of him in it from last year.

I would try size small rather than XS, unless he's really skinny below the rib cage. The tinkle belt goes around their "waist" below the rib cage. My 8 pound poodle could wear a small or XS. The width isn't a lot different and the Velcro closure leaves room for adjustment around the waist. Also, I used a panty liner so I wouldn't have to launder as often. Makes clean up a snap. Good luck! I hope they work for your little guy as well as they did for mine.

No, you would need to get the X or possibly even the XX small for your dog. My dog is 20lbs and it's a little snug on him, but it works.

Incidentally, you can always give it a try and send it back if it doesn't fit (they have a great return policy at Amazon)-- judging from the other answers, it looks like it may just depend on the pup!

Yes, my Bichon has a 20" girth and I can adjust it to make it larger. I can adjust it more than 3".

My dog is small but I bought a med and cinched it down to fit. In my opinion, I think a large cinched to fit would be appropriate.

I bought my 70 pound lab a large. But a medium or large should fit. You can adjust both.

No, just cut it to size you want. I have one on my 13lb dog and same one on 60lb dog.
