How do you adjust down (on the velcro side) the size to fit a smaller GSD pup (7mos) ?

My gsd is about 5 months and he fits in it he weighs around 55lbs . U just pull it through the clips to tight it and then strap the slack to the Velcro on both the belts the neck strap may need to be strapped to the Velcro because it is big around the neck

I have a German Shepherd. There's so much adjustment available in the strap that it almost always should work. I only need to use one strap over/behind the ear and it stays put with quick on/off. Order thru Amazon Prime and return it if you're not satisfied.

I agree --they run a bit larger, which was perfect for my mini-poodle since we rarely find coats long enough to cover her entire back. It is a great coat, but the velcro isn't. I'd recommend adding a better quality strip.

I have a 45lb German shepherd pit mix and I bought the large. The straps are a little long after it's been adjusted but I just tuck them under the backpack.

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.

You open the velcro end and pull it on the leash with the solid elastic side going on the side away from the handle. Then wiggle the top and bottom elastic bands up the leash and secure the velcro in the area on the inner side of the handle. I hope that makes sense. It is a snug fit, but it does fit on my leash very well.

Hey LaurelI bought the small for my Pomeranian puppy. Fit well. Her collar was 9" . You have the option of controlling the size a little because the collar runs through loops on inside of kong collar and you can also adjust by inflating or deflating the kong collar. ;-) hope that helpsRobin

The Buddy System is sized for your waist - not the size of the dog. The sizes are all adjustable but the medium would give you room to adjust it to where you want it to rest comfortably. I have one for my 35 # dog and my daughter has one for her 65 # dog and we both bought size M.

I started with a small for my German Shepherd puppy. She was 10 weeks. A small should work for about 4-5 months.

I have a 16 pound dachsund and the small is too big for him. You can add some velcro inside so it will fit better, but, depending on your use, you may want to try another product. If its so you'll be seen at night by motorists, I'd try the "Nite Ize SLG-03-07 SpotLit Clip-on LED Go Anywhere Light" - just a blinking light that clips onto the leash/collar. Like a previous poster mentioned, reflective tape is also a great idea - they put it on their pooper scooper, I have a retractable leash so I put it on both sides of that. If its because you're letting him off his leash and want to be able to see him during the day (or so he's not confused with a target by a hunter) try the "Puppia Soft Dog Harness" and then just pick a bright color - pink and orange both work well. This isn't reflective, so if you want to keep the reflective nature, try "Rogz Reflective Dog Collar" in orange Hope this helps! :)

I purchased a small for my two dogs, one is about 15 lbs, the other 17lbs and they fit just perfectly. I would probably suggest an XS for your pups. :)

Go for the next size, better safe than sorry. It actually adjusts. Good luck!

It will adjust down to fit around 3 fingers. It fit my min-pin as a pup and adjusted out to his current size at 3 years old.

We have similar hip size. I got a small/medium. You can easily adjust the Velcro to tighten or loosen the belt to your liking.

Gosh I really haven't measured my dog but hes a 80lb pit bull and it fit him. It has velcro on it and is adjustable. Hope that helps you....

I think it probably would. My German Shepherd is small for her breed, about 60lbs and this size fits her perfectly. The Velcro tabs make them very easy to adjust. For my dog I use the entire strip of Velcro for a snug fit but its fairly long. If there is a larger size you would probably be better off to get the larger size.

Absolutely. There is plenty of room to adjust the harness to fit smaller. The chest part is light weight mesh and the part that goes around and under their legs is a soft material. That part doesn't adjust, but... once you have the harness on, then the entire harness will adjust to fit properly. It appears to be very comfortable and is very easy to put on and is not bulky at all. I am extremely pleased with the product. My Chi and Rat Terrier wear the tiny size, but the Rat Terrier has now outgrown his and I will be ordering him the next size. Hope it works for your baby.
