My dog, 1/2 lab-1/2 chow measures 32" shaved down. Since he is on the cusp of 2 sizes should I go medium or up one to large?

Greetings DA, Your question is more Item speculative in nature than Item qualitative . So I can not say if my answer is the one you are looking for, but I've never let that stop me from giving advice before. My thought is;; That it is always easier to take/modify a Garment, weather for man or beast "in" than it is to let it "out". As letting an Item "out" means one must add material to the Item. As a Sidebar;; My "takem ins" also generally have a better appearance than my "letm outs". Hava Good Day, Allan

We purchased the large for our lab,shepard mix and he was around 85 lbs. I think he could have used the medium. I think it depends on his muscular structure, rump and thigh size of your dog. This was a great purchase for us.

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.

Probably medium unless your lab has a broad muzzle,then the next size would work with some modification

Rather than by weight, your best bet would be to measure your dog neck to snout, and check out the company's sizing guide and video @ http://www.allfourpaws.com/the_comfy_cone-sizing_guidelines.php. The example breed they show for the medium size is a French bulldog, so that might likely be your dog's correct size. Hope this helps!

We got the medium for our American Eskimo who has thick fur and it is slightly big for him. He weighs 30lbs. For a 16 lb pup, I would definitely go with the small.

I would say a Large. It's better to go by the waist size, and your pooch is on the high end of the large. I have a 26 pounder with Cushings, so her belly is bigger, and the medium was too small (had to revise by adding velcro tabs to make it bigger, but over time the velcro wears out and curls with washing). The large stays on and also leaves more room for a pad to add inside for extra incontinence. You stated you have a Basset mix...how low is the belly to the ground? If you decided to go for the medium, you will definitely need velcro strips to enlarge the waist area. (I had to do the same for my dogs Thundershirt). I personally think the Large would be best.

I have a 20 lb dog, and the small works for him. He is slender in the body, and thick in the neck, so I bought the medium first, but had to return it.

I would say a large for sure. Have an 80 lb black lab and the extra is to big. Go with the large

My 9 1/2 pound Chi mix didn't come close to fitting in a medium. He's got long legs and a long body, though. If your yorkie is small, but solid, he might fit, but I'd go up a size. I had to return the medium.

I would go for the XL size. I have a bigger dog that sounds about your dogs size and he fits but it is a little snug. the XL would account for the dimensions of your dog and leave him a little room to move around.

I would go with the medium my dog is 31" and the med' fits him great with plenty of room to tighten it up more if I needed to

I got the medium for my 14 pound Bichon, donated it to the local animal shelter as it was too snug, I would opt for the large for your dog.

hi, I would probably recommend a medium. I ordered a large to fit a 65lbs golden doodle and that worked out well. the large would definitely be to big for your dog. how much will he/she weigh when it is full grown?

My lab mix is 33 lbs and the medium fit great. I would just search online for their size chart.

my 28 pound boston terrier just fits when he stretches out so the medium size may be a little short. always better to go up one size for comfort.

I bought the medium for my toy poodle and it fit perfect. You may want to buy the large.
