I'm about to start my 9 mo. old lab in dock diving classes - suggestions on whether to get a size large or Xlarge for her?

I guess it all depends on how large your pup is and how big her mouth is. But I'd use a Cool Kong myself.

I have used both for my lab and I personally prefer the xlarge. We just use it for normal fetch type activities though! She seemed to love both.

smaller is better....dog will not swallow as much water when retrieving as his mouth will not be open as wide

I would get an extra large. I have a Yorkie and unfortunately even the large was not tough enough to last for more than 2 days. Not that the toy wasn't sturdy enough it was my dog eats through everything. I have not been able to find anything he will not tear in pieces within an half hour.

My 13 pound bo-chi (boston chihuahua) uses the large size for fetching. I too would suggest you get the extra large.

I would suggest an extra large. I got a large for my heeler when he was less than 6 months.

I have a 55 lb Catahoula. I bought the extra large. We don't do water play though, she plays with it inside and she loves it. I have found that toys that didn't suit her well as a pup do much better at 2 years. She tore up a wubba as a pup but this one is holding up just fine now.

I got the XXL for my 160 lb Great Dane. Had to add fabric to fit. So L for a normal lean lab I should think.

We got a Large for our Lab when he was 9 months old and about 50 pounds. We wanted it to grow with him, otherwise we may have gotten the Medium.

I would go with the small. I got my dog the L/XL which starts at 32", my pup is 32" now and it just fits with all straps tight. It looks like the small goes to 27" so you should be good.

I bought my 70 pound lab a large. But a medium or large should fit. You can adjust both.

I purchased a medium for our lab when she was about four months old too and I removed a few links, since then I have been slowly putting them back on. she is now 10 months old and over 75 pounds. So to answer your question I would recommend buying the medium size & remove or add links as needed. I hope this helps. I would not recommend the small or large size for a lab. Medium works just fine.

I have a lab pit mix as well as a great pyrenees mix and they have room to spare. I do noy regret the XL size.

I bought an extra Large for my daughter's big Lab mix, and a Large for my English Setter... Both were juat right... I would look for a small or extra small for a little dog.

The large is huge! It should be big enough, mine is 13lbs and she has a ton of room. If you really want a lot of space get the xlarge. Large really should be fine tho. I looove this carrier!

I would get the xl for sure except the dimensions are a little "off" in my opinion (too square). Most lg breed dogs like to stretch out and just like us humans we like to have some xtra space beyond our reach when fully stretched. I highly recommend any of these "orthopedic" beds for younger dogs, in fact the earlier you start them on one , the better. (Nothing like preventative maintenance!) I would not recommend the denim though because it's kind of slippery. Good Luck!

We have a golden retriever who weighs about the same but is taller. The large is a little big but she is only a year old. I thought the medium would be a little small. If the dog is going to grow another 10-20 pounds I would get the large. The life jacket is a great product.

1) XL barely big enough for my 93 pound lab. 2) if your dog has a belly, get XL, b/c these will pinch at waist and make him/her very uncomfortable 3) if your dog has a real waist go by this approximate guideline: Over 85lbs XL, over 65lbs L, over 45 lbs M... But these are just one person's opinion...

Go with the L. My 19 lb shiba at 17" can walk around the XL and my 21lb 16" shiba fits the L comfortably. Also, the XL causes every airline employee to harass me until I prove it will collapse small enough to fit.

Linda, I purchased a large for my 38 lb corgi who has a large neck. It was roomy it since you tighten with your own color inside, it is very forgiving. If your dog has a think neck, I'd go for the large.

I would suggest buying the largest size...I bought a large for my dog and it was a perfect fit for her. She is 16 years old and around 60-70 lbs, also Lab..the elastic band at the waist stretches nicely, probably forming to many variations of size large..

Unless he had very large paws I'd buy medium. I have a 65lb pit and bought the large. They were way too big, so I reordered the medium and they wouldn't stay on while swimming. They are very round with an opening. Not really what I expected. Depending on what you want them for I'd reconsider ordering them. I was super disappointed. I purchased them for swimming because his nails and paws get raw when he's in the pool.

Personally I would go with the 8. It may be a smidge loose, but shouldn't effect anything. The problem I found is, if I get the exact size, they will grow out of it by summer. If I get a size larger, they will grow into it, theoretically, it would save some money. Wetsuits are suppose to fit snug, but a little loose is ok. BTW....Amazon sells this stuff called "piss off". It's a wetsuit cleaner./deodorizer. Make sure he rinses, and hang dries. It does to get a funky smell so LET IT DRY ON A HANGER AND KEEP IT OUTSIDE.. on the hanger. Good luck.
