We just checked our Medium harness on two other Goldens we have. One is about 75 lbs but very sleek and narrow around the waist. The other is about 82 lbs and though he isn't fat, he is very stout. Around the waist, the sleek one is 24" and the blocky one is 29". There is a clip on the harness that secures it around the waist. At the max extension (it is slightly adjustable) it isn't quite big enough for the bigger boy but it fits just fine for the skinny one. So I would measure around the waist and check, if your dog is more than 28" around the waist, I would go to another vendor and get a large, or an XL. You could have a 110 lb Greyhound that it (a medium) would fit and a 82 lb Golden that it wouldn't. We just checked our Medium harness on two other Goldens we have.

Weight is not as much of a determining metric as length, girth and neck measurements. I would suggest that you measure the dog and then pick a size.

My Scottie weighs 22 1/2 lbs but has a large girth so I got him the medium. The weight was within the limits but on the lower end. Be sure to measure the girth and stay in the lb range. My Duncan had a very big chest-that is where I measured. Be sure to click on "show more" and it will show lbs. and girth. L-For dogs with a girth of 26-inch-35-inch and weighing 40-70-pounds, For dogs with a girth of 31-inch-42-inch and weighing 70-90-pounds. So, I got a medium according to girth with nearly 30 lbs left to go in weight but it fits him fine. Please go by girth or I doubt it would be safe. There are 3 straps on bottom to tighten and then clip. Good luck! My Scottie weighs 22 1/2 lbs but has a large girth so I got him the medium. The weight was within the limits but on the lower end.

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

There was s guide that showed me I believe it went by weight rather than measure. I have two Bichons. One runs 16 to 17 pounds, The medium fits him perfectly. My other Bichon weighs between 22 and 25 pounds and the large fits him perfectly. You also have some wiggle room since it is adjustable like a dog collar is. Sorry it took so respond.

I'm not on the site to see measurements. However they have you measure to be close to your dogs size, there is flexible strapping thereafter to adjust even more. I am a personal email that Amazon sent to ask me how mine worked for me and help you.

I have a large lab/shepherd mix and he is around 60 lbs, large frame. I got him a size large which has adjustable straps to hold him. The vest works well because it keeps his head above water and he floats which Is what the vest is supposed to do. I hope this helps you.

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

Based on my experience, a medium might be the best option. My dog is a lab mix. She's about 65 lbs, 31" chest, 22" waist. The medium size fits her quite well. I've adjusted the harness so it's just a little bit loose on her; there's still enough room to expand the front harness by 3 inches or so around the chest and the rear harness has enough room to expand by about 11 inches around the waist. The rear leg straps are adjusted as big as they go and they were just about right for her; the circumference where her hip connects to her body is about 19". I've since started using the harness without the rear leg straps as my dog recently had one of her legs amputated. Even without the rear leg straps the harness works quite well.

I got a large for my Cairn Terrior and he weighs about 25 pounds. It fit great :)

according to the manufacturer you're suppose to measure your dog around the waist area. That determines what size you will need. My dog was 16" so, medium. yours is probably small.

Carol, My dog is 15 pounds (goes back and forth between 14-15) and he is a Boston Terrier - tall and slim. I can send pictures if you want. He wears a Large and it is snug. He still wears it but can't push the velcro all the way together - have to keep it loose. He walks into it. We LOVE IT. I am afraid if you go up to an XL it will be too large. Please keep us posted as I am getting ready to order another one for my dog. These are absolutely the BEST harnesses out there.

They do come in different sizes, ours is a medium. I think it would depend on the length of your dog's body and their height. The straps are adjustable so that allows for a range. The picture shown is a bit confusing because it really doesn't cover the full torso of the dog between front and rear legs, it is meant more for just the waist area. I think the only time you may have a sizing problem is if you have a long, short dog like a Corgi. I would think the medium would work more for 45 to 110 probably, depending on the breed.

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.

You can go to the manufacture's site for my info. I have an 80 pound dog and had the same question. The manufacture's site has a trick for getting the proper measurements
