| Buddy Belt Question Currently I have a size 3.5 for Mitzy. I like to have it on hole #3 but its a little loose behind her legs. When its on hole #4 it fits great but I have all this extra "belt" hanging to the side. I'm wondering if getting her a size 3 will fit her better. She has a 15" chest so according to the size chart the 3.5 is the correct size but I feel like its to big since its on the next to last hole to fit right. I guess my question is, does anyone have a size 3 belt and a pup with a 15" chest that fits ok?? I just hate to buy a $50 harness and its to small, but if it fits her better than the 3.5 its well worth the money. Any advice??

| I don't think you would be happy with the 3. It would have to be on the last hole or second to last hole. Maximo was on the cusp between a 3 and a 4. I started him in a 3, but he has large chest muscles, so I moved him to a 4. The half size was not available at the time. At first I thought it was huge and I was annoyed by all of the extra belt hanging off to the side. However, the BB molded to his body and now I actually like the extra belt.

| I re-measured my boys: Maximo with the 15 inch chest wears the BB size 4 on a tight setting Teddy with the 14 inch chest wears the BB size 3 on the 3rd hole in from the end of the belt. There may be something about the cut of the 3.5 that doesn't fit your dog's body right. The half size was intended for little dogs with large chests.

| Cooper is 12 pounds, has a 15" chest and wears size 3.5 on the 3rd hole. It's perfect. We originally bought the 4, but it fit on the last hole and I was afraid it would stretch too much and get too big. Max is 12.5 pounds, has a 14.5" chest and wears a size 3.5 on the 3rd hole as well. They both fit perfectly. I would imagine that a 3 would be too small for both of my boys.

| I have the 2nd to the smallest and there wasn't a hole that would fit Pnut comfortably, so I took it to a shoe repair/leather shop at my Mall and he made 2 extra holes! One hole for when he has on clothes, and the 2nd for when he is nakie, It fits like a glove now, and you would never be able to tell I had it custom fit! The guy who did it even matched the little silver circle thing around the hole!! I would try to look into that! |

I started out with the size 4 for her but it was just to big and the 3.5 fits great but it has to be so far over which annoys me but I'd rather it fit than have it to small so I will stick with the 3.5 for now thank you all for your input!! I appreciate it

| I want to try a 3.5 on my boys to see if it would work better for one or both. Did you order from funnyfur.com, or did you find it somewhere else?

| Uni got a used size 3, and she is between 5-6 lbs and 11.5" chest. she wore the size 3 on the smallest hole when we first got it, but i *think* she has put on wieght since. Today with a t shirt on, she fit the middle hole.

| That is one of the things I like about having some extra room to play with is that BB will fit over winter coats/clothes.

| Reesie is eventually going to be about 6-7lbs and I got the size 3. He is 4lbs(ish) right now and with a Target t-shirt on, he fits into the 3 on the 2nd hole. I'm thinking when he is full grown, he will fit into one of the middle to end holes. If all fails, Snick can use it. Best Harness ever BTW!!!! He never coughs while he wears it and tugs!!!!! Viv
