I have a 9 lbs chihuahua mix that is about 15" from neck to butt and 12" at his girth. I have read that the sizing chart is off. Suggestions?

I would suggest the xxsmall. I have the medium and my dog is 40 lbs, a few more lbs and the medium would be too small. For 9 lbs and 12" girth the xxsmall should be perfect. The next size up I fear would be just too much material for the little one to handle. The material wraps around tummy and velcros together and straps hook for added protection so jacket doesn't slip off. I hope this is helpful.

I think this is probably your best bet. I have a chihuahua who is about 8 lbs and this fits as snugly around his waist as I'd like. Best of luck to you in potty training land!

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.

I wish there was some way to ask your friend how long his corgi is from neck to tail. 16 inches is pretty long but Corgi's are sort of squatty. The 16 inch I have fits my 20lb. Schnoodle, it may fit the corgi, it would be great if these came in a large but they do not. The material does have some give, it is really soft and looks so nice.. I sure hope you can get the right fit. All of these dog clothes are never uniform in size that is why it is so difficult to find the right fit. Neck sizes also must be taken into consideration. Not all 24 lb. dogs have the same neck size. Feel free to ask anything else. I hope this helped some.

I have both dachsy and chihuahua ...the dachsy is a little too big for it to be comfortable the next size up would be better.

Hello Tiffany, I would take the measurements below and compare to your dogs measurements in order to get the best fit. It is hard to get the best fit when only taking the dogs weight into account! XS: 7-15 pounds, 8.5 inches long (collar to base of tail), body girth 15-19 inches SMALL: 15-20 pounds, 11 inches long, body girth 17-22 inches Thank you, Sara

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

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.

I would say a small should do. I have a 16 pound Shih Tzu with a girth measurement of 18 inches and he wears a medium. You can also cinch up/let out the part that goes around the dogs chest area. I have bought several of these and the price is much better than in the doggie stores. They are very well made. Hope this helps !!!

I would have to say no if it is the regular size skinner chihuahua. My friend has one and she got the size below they fit him wonderfully. I would suggest one size smaller but my sister has a mixed chihuahua that is thicker in size and these ones fit her so it depends on his/her build.

I have a 13lb Malipoo and an Xsmall fit very snug because of his furry paws. If your pet has furry paws I would recommend maybe a Small. Find out first if you can return if too big.

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.

We got this for my mom's 5.5 pound Chihuahua and it is just almost too big for her. I would go with the XXS.

Hi, go on www.pawsaboard.com, they have a sizing chart based on weight, I chose small, I have a bichon that is 22lbs, fits him great, I love this jacket, really looks cool and seems to be well made. I did buy mine on Amazon though.

My 9 1/2 pound Chi mix didn't come close to fitting in a medium. He's got long legs and a long body, though. If your yorkie is small, but solid, he might fit, but I'd go up a size. I had to return the medium.

I need to change this. My vest was xxsmall which fits my 4 lb. Chihuahua perfect.

My Chihuahua is almost 5 pounds but her girth or chest area is wide so she is ok with Small. I tried XS before but too tight. I think small will be fine for your poodle. You could always sew it to make it more snug.
