A small Sporn Harness is too snug around neck &amp; chest of our 13 pound Shih Poo. Should we get a medium or would it likely be too large?

i think a medium would be fine, even if it is a little loose around the chest, you can adjust the neck. i have a yorkiepoo and a cavachon. the cavachon is a medium dog but wears a large and the yorkiepoo i believe is a medium or a small. Sorry I can't be absolutely sure but you could always return it if the medium doesn't adjust to your little ones's need.

My dog is 67 lbs now (started at 80 lbs.), 8 years old with a chest of about 30 to 32 in. He is a Husky mix, and has very thick fur. I bought the large one that was labeled 70 lbs. to 130 lbs. and we have it adjusted down now as far as it will go. I think I would go with the large. It takes a little bit to figure out how to adjust the harness, and you really need two people unless your dog is really well trained to stand and let you put it on him. He has had it on pretty much continuously since April, and has no problems with it chafing him anywhere. It has been an answer to prayer for him. Hope it works as well for your dog.

Using the measurement guidelines provided, I bought the medium for my dog. She is about 40-45 lbs. It fit fairly snug around the stomach; and we had to pin it at the neck to keep it from coming unzipped in the water, but my dog has a big neck. I would rather it be a little tight than too loose in the water. It's a nice vest. I hope this helps you.hope this is of some help to you.

Hi, I got mine the x-small, he was about 10 pounds and it fit perfectly. That being said, I think this product is a sham and did nothing for our dog.

I have a 20 lb Pekingese and I bought the medium harness. It was too big. I would go with the small harness.

I got the s/m when my cat was around that size, though he did grow out of it relatively quickly (young maine coon) if you go to the makers website they have neck and chest measurements that will help you too! there is some play as its velcro and there is a built in level of adjustment. hope that helps some

Hi, For sizing, we suggest to measure snugly pet's neck size and add 2-3 inches to get the proper length. If the neck size is 12 1/2", we will suggest Medium size. Thank you! Amazon Seller: DogCollars

My 13lb dog wears a medium and it fits her loose. It depends on how you want it to fit the puppy.

I have a dalmation mix about that size and the large is a perfect fit. I also have got the tether to anchor the harness to either the tie down in the back seat or the seat belt in the front. The harness has a range of adjustments and fits well. Betsy wore hers almost constantly a couple summers ago where we traveled across the country. She never had any problems with rubbing.

The sizing is generous. Our 55 pounder is using a medium and there is ample harness left over after adjustment to fit. The excess is not a problem. As mentioned in another posting, the leftover makes a good close in leash if you are using a retractable lead. Your dogs would probably be fine in the small.

I wouldgo with a small or extra small. My dog is 13lbs and the medium fits him

The harness expands...I have a 42 inch chest, and I cinch it down as small as it gets. I think you should be OK.

Hi Allen, Please measure your pet's neck circumference snugly with a cloth tape measure. We start the holes 1/2" after that measurement. Then you can look at our sizing in the item description. Thanks!

My malti-poo weighs 16 lbs and wears med. my Yorkist weighs 4 lbs and wears x-small so I would order a small. The harness is adjustable and fits great!!

My french bulldog is 24 pounds with a 22" chest, his neck is 16" I got him the small and adjusted it as tight as it could go and it fits perfect. My boxer is about 70 pound 35" chest and 20" . I ordered her a med/large hers is adjusted almost as tight as it would go. SoMy guess is small will be perfect. They seem really nice more secure then the other brand I got them. They are fixed where you would adjust it, the other one I had the end was loose so if you made it to fit bigger a little tug could have pulled it all the way out and leave it open. Hope this helped!

I have a Lab/Boxer mix...62lbs.... the medium works great. She has a thick neck for a dog her size, but the straps are about half way tight... my understanding is to have it fit pretty snug. measure the circumference of your dogs neck...hope that helps! Happy Leading!

Measure the dogs neck and add about 1 inch, then refer to the size shown in the ad. I ordered a medium after measuring my Cairn's neck and had to reorder for a large. I kept the medium for my Lapso. The collars are somewhat adjustable with the velcro strip. I say that because my terrier is not a big dog but the large fits closed, but there would be a good adjustable area for larger dogs. The medium was just too tight and it really scared him. He is 13, a great dog and must be comfortable enough to get used to it if we need to use it again.
