You measure around his chest. The neck part adjust. Once you get it around him/her just slide the metal tab, and the pull string. It is great. I take it off at night. If it is a toy, I would get the size for a toy breed. The small will be too big.

You'll want to measure the widest part of the neck. That's what I have to do with my sleeve Peke because though she's a toy her neck is very broad and so not all clothes and products for toys fit her. The toy size will likely fit your toy (just as the other commenter said) but you'll want to measure the larger dog's neck for sure.

I'm sorry but I didn't do that. I went more by the overall size of my dog. She is only about 6 to 7 lbs, so I went with the small. The neck and chest straps are adjustable. Hope this helps you.

I didn't measure but if you have a toy breed (under prob 20lbs) I would say you're good. It adjusts quite far and its hard to describe how it adjusts because its not the usual way.

Make sure that when you measure, it is from the back of the neck. When a dog is trying to get at it's paws, they can easily push the collar to the back of the neck allowing the snout to reach past the end of the cone. It shouldn't be measured 'where the collar fits comfortably' as the comfy cone site stated.

Sporn.com gives neck/lbs measurements. I personally think a small would be plenty big. My shihtzu maltese mix has a 11" neck/17" chest and a small is big on him.He weights 14 lbs.

Your best bet is to measure around your dogs neck right behind the ears and see which size range matches best.

I think it will be too big. We have a 35lb Beagle mix and when we put it around her neck there is an extra foot of strap hanging off. We have to put a rubber band around the collar and tuck the tail end up under it or it drags on the ground. In hindsight I probably should have got a bigger collar but I thought she'd grow more. I haven't seen the next size down though, so I don't know how that would fit. Also I don't know if it's possible to get a smaller strap for this unit.

Go to your local pet store and try one on your pet. Make note of that size and dimensions and then match it up to the sizing on this one

Hi Lauren, It doesn't go by the weight of the dog. You have to measure your pug at three places: Neck, Back and Bust (Chest). Then see which size would be the best. My dog is a bit busty, so that was the most important measurement for me. I hope this helps!S(Neck:22cm, Back:19cm, Bust:32cm)M(Neck:25cm, Back:24cm, Bust:36cm)L(Neck:30cm, Back:29cm, Bust:40cm)XL(Neck:33cm, Back:34cm, Bust:45cm)XXL(Neck:36cm, Back:35cm, Bust:47cm)

Hi measure the circumference of the Neck, breast girth and the length of the back. My pups use small. I have a 7lbs Maltese and a 8lbs Toy Poodle. If you don't have a tape measurement, use a string and then measure it with a ruler. IF there is no chart for measurements, go on Puppia website so you know which one to order, they have a size chart.

They come in different sizes, my dog is a Shepard pit mix with a 12" neck. The size I got seemed to work. I honestly don't what the size range was for my dog, but it is a clean fit. My guess if they have a larger size try that. How ever the way it fits on the collar, that gap will ride under his neck.Esp for stocky dog.

My dog is about 78lbs. I got the XL and it was a little large-I should have gotten a large. Measure neck size & see what's recommended.

Measure your dog's neck. Also, I found the collar size corresponded to coat/sweater clothing size I'd purchased.

measure around the chest ( girth) and whatever your dog measures is the sz you get. This is a very nice vest and my poodle wears it very well. No problems.

The small also fits my 35 lb. labradoodle. His is neck is about 15" around. I have adjusted the collar to almost the largest it will go. I first ordered the medium collar based on his weight... and it was big and heavy! I would have had to adjust the medium-sized collar to the smallest it would go... then there would have been a lot of extra strap just hanging there. SO, I am really happy with the small (and almost the biggest it will go)! I'm not familiar with a Shiba Inu, but I hope you find this helpful! PS. I also have free shipping/returns w Amazon Prime...

It used to fit on my 100lb Lab with a 24" neck. It lasted about 3 months before it died. Look elsewhere & prepare to spend significantly more for a "QUALITY" training collar...

Meaure your dog's neck then go by the company's guidelines. My pug has a 14" neck size.

I think I would go with the small. I have 2 dogs, one has a small, the other a medium. The measurement is at the base of the neck, NOT the one up by the ears. The larger of my two [got the M] has 15 1/2 in neck at the lower point, and there is a LONG amount of collar-tail left over once it was fitted to him. The M is heavier / wider 'stuff' as well. My smaller one is a strong-willed loud-screaming male, and he was well-controlled with this. As a side note, I still swap back with an older gentle leader [head type] for ease/speed of use much of the time.
