I have one that I bought for Winston that we don't use, largely because I was a bone head and messed up the sizing. With the neck & chest measurements Winston would have fit perfect in the x-sm - but I didn't think about the size of his head and if the non-adjustable neck would fit over it. It didn't (so I had to exchange it and pay to ship it back and have another size shipped to me.) The larger size is a touch too big in the neck and doesn't fit well, so it sits in my closet. (I could return it, and get one of the other styles... the rite fit or the superior harness which allow you to make the neck smaller - but money is tight right now and I can't afford the shipping costs.)
You need to look at the neck size (the chest size is super generous, just make sure he fits in the range. The lbs doesn't count for much of anything.) If your dog is on the top end of the neck sizing I recommend you measure his head and make sure it will go over it. If he is on the bottom end, I recommend you go with the adjustable rite fit harness, safety harness or the superior harness that they now make. I went with the regular style wanting to save money and I really regret that now. The neck is too big on Winston and he'll occasionally get a foot caught because the neck gapes just a smidgen too much. (His neck is just over 8 1/2 inches, but his head is about a 1/8th of an inch over 9 inches so I can't get the x-small over his head. our proportions just don't work for the unadjustable simplistic style.) Had I done the smart thing and paid the extra $2 for the superior harness none of the issues we have in the small right now would have been an issue and I'd be a super happy gal.
I purchased from k9instyleclassic.com because they had a great selection at a great price, and their customer service has been really great. They were great about me needing to go a size up and worked with me about alternatives since they didn't have the style I purchased in the larger size (in that color at the time). I am simply a happy customer without a usable harness because I am unemployed and can't afford to pay the shipping to them and back to me again. (Just not cost effective when I can try and sell it on ebay to re-coop most of my cost vs paying shipping both way yet again because I was silly.) I do love the puppia haness, and we will be ordering from them again when I can afford it! |
I had the same fitting problems with Maddie. There was NO WAY the xs was going over her head but with the small her front legs could get into the neck hole becuase it was too big. Luckily a store around here carries them so I didn't have to order it. It was really cute on and everything, it just doesn't fit. I've seen the blue and the camo in person and the blue is very handsome!
Good luck
