Hi, I have a chihuahua pom mix whose has an 18 inch chest and weighs 14 pounds, he seems to never fit in smalls, do you think that I should size up?

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!

My 24 pound Sheltie (and all her fluff) fits in the medium, though just barely. You can always return it and get a size down if it doesn't fit. You don't want it too small because it'll rub their skin raw.

I would go up in size. I have mini-schnauzers. Works great for them, but a bigger dog, I think, would need bit more space. The length is ok, but the width could be an issue.

I ordered an xsmall and had to return it for the small. My dog is a pugalier and I think she is about the same size as your dog. She weighs about 24 lbs. I didn't want it to be too tight on her upper body. I thought they run a little small.

I get my pups a small. They are toy poodle 7# and shih tzu 8# the other shih tzu was 16# and we got her a medium. We just went to a doggie speciality store and we now purchased 3 bark appeal harness and love them. Also if possible could you go to a dog store and try a harness on to see the size. I wish you luck.

The X-Small may be too small. You may need a larger unit. My chihuahua was less than 5 pounds and it was too heavy for him. He was 17. The unit was very well made and I kept it in case I ever came across someone who may need it, but my dog never used it. He was just way too little. If your dog is strong, which 25 pounds sounds like he can handle the weight, the unit is very sturdy. I hope this helps. Good luck.

My mini doxie is 17 lbs & has a girth of about 17 inches - wears the medium. I'd try the small on your dog, especially since they adjust.

I would probably get a small to be safe. I originally ordered an xs for my chihuahua/Dotson mix pup who weighed 3 lbs then I changed order to small because of reviews and I'm glad I did. Since Maltese are mostly hair and have long bodies, small is probably going to fit yours way better. I hope this helps.

My 7 lb chihuahua fits snugly in the small. If they like to snuggle they might both fit but I'd get a larger one to be safe.

I ordered a small for our dog... she is an 11 lb cavalier... it fits her well but might be a little small for 18 lbs...

My Bichon is 15 pounds. I bought small. Unfortunately, wearing the shirt seemed to make him more anxious. I returned mine. Every dog is different. Hope yours works for him!

Sorry it took so long to answer. My dog is a Bichon. He is about 13 pounds and 17" long but seems to be bigger than your dogs. Medium fit him fine. I think small would be too small and large too big for your dogs. The large usually go on really big dogs. Hope this helps. Loretta

We got an xs for our smallest dog, she is 13 lbs. It is kinda of short as she is long but for girth it is fine. With all of that said I would get the xs (extra small). We got the small for our 18lb dog and it fits him fine so I would think it would be too big for an eight pound dog.

Our puppy is 6lb. It might b little too small. U might want to go up a size.

Well, my chihuahua is 9 lbs., and it's a bit snug. Depends on how small your yorkie/terry is. Check their size chart, because it's pretty accurate. I think it shows how to measure your dog for sizing, if you haven't already done so. I hope this answers your question.

What breed is your dog? If he's a puppy and still growing I might suggest getting the Small size, but if he's a smaller breed an XSmall should fit him well. I purchased an XSmall for my MinPin/Chihuahua mix and she's about 10lbs.
