I've noticed a lot of people mention their dog not being able to lay down with very much room in a medium and their dogs seem to be quite small. My dog weigh almost 9lbs and I was going to order the medium but now I'm considering ordering the large...

When in doubt order the larger one. My dog was only a couple of pounds when I bought it. Now she is about 6 pounds and just about makes it. Make sure you can position it. I brace it in between the seats in front and I have a larger bed for my other dogs (I have 4 small ones) that braces it as well. It works well for me the way I have it. Hope this helps, Judy

Try the extra large...these things are great but for dogs with a belly, can be too tight when they are laying down...

it really depends on your dog's body type. my dog is about the same weight, maybe a lil more and she fits in a medium one.

I think the medium would work great for your pup. Mine weighs 11 pounds and can lay down if she wants.

Yes it would. Definitely go with the Medium or Large size bed so your dog has room to spread out if it likes too. My dog is only 12lbs and loves to spread out, I have the size medium bed and he has plenty of room. When my father in law's dog come to visit, she loves the bed and she is 30lbs and fits just fine. They actually both lay in it together sometimes. Hope this helps :)

I had the same problem with my dog and I went with the medium. No problems so far and the straps are generous so if you're an inch off either way it wouldn't be a big deal.

I ordered an xsmall and had to return it for the small. My dog is a pugalier and I think she is about the same size as your dog. She weighs about 24 lbs. I didn't want it to be too tight on her upper body. I thought they run a little small.

All I can say is that my dog is a 15lb Shih Tzu and he fits into the (Large) bed comfortably with plenty of space to move around and from what I have experienced with my dog is that he takes up minimal space in the bed because he curls himself up into a fetal position and tends to sleep that way, but he has plenty of room to stretch out if he desires to do so as well. This Large bed fits in a corner of my bedroom comfortably, while providing my dog's needs as well. I hope that was helpful, as your dog is only 5lbs heavier than mine, Isuppose you would have to take in consideration the width and size of your dog.

There is on the ruffwear site. It is based on the dogs chest measurement. Our two smaller labs 65 lbs took mediums and our big lab 95 lbs to a large. Hope this helps

I would say the medium will be fine, I use a large for a 80lb+ Lab and even my German Shepherd uses it sometimes. A hint I read and used to buy mine was to measure your dog from head to rear, then you can adjust bed size (+ or -) based on how your dog sleeps. Also I and my dogs really like these beds. Hope this helps.

I have 2 dogs who both wear the medium. One dog is a med size dog, 60 pounds ( all heavy muscle, very short hair,slender, no fat.) The other dog weighs 45 pounds, has longer,thicker hair, is shorter but has a big belly. I don't know if that helps, but I went by their chart for both dogs and they fit pretty well.There was a big difference between the med and the large. The med is shorter than I'd like but the large completely covered her like a blanket ( too big.)

You need to measure your dogs girth/chest. My dog is only 12 lbs but needed a medium and it was still too small.

I got the large, and it is a good size for both of my dogs (55 lbs and 50 lbs). However, even though it is a good size for my smaller dog he seems to prefer carrying around the medium size better, but I think that is just his personal perseverance.

We bought a large for our 60lb German shorthair pointer. Enough room for him to lay comfortably. But difficult for him to sit up. We just use ours for the car to keep him enclosed, and it's really nice! Either size you decide on, you'll really like the product overall.

I got the large for my 18lb Tibetan Terrier and thought it looked huge when it arrived. But she's one to stretch out when sleeping, and takes up most of the length, so it's worked out just fine. I think it depends on your dog's sleeping habits.

I have the large, my 120 pound pittie and 55 pound Dalmatian mix are very comfy on it. There's room for my 10 pound yorkie but he prefers my lap! Mine will lay together and take turns. I say try the large and then decide if you need to add another!

I have a 5lb morkie who has plenty of room to jump in and lay comfortably for some time while I shop. 10 lbs would be snug but if they don't have a problem laying down would probably work.
