I used a medium puppia vest for my 10&1/2 lbs shitzu and it fit perfect, but reading the reviews on this puppia, I am not sure of the size

My dog is a chiquaqua and weights about 8 pounds. The medium size fits her well but is not overlarge. I normally buy a small for her.

I ordered by the size chart for my Chihuahua and it was too small. So much so I didn't chance and just sent it back for a refund and bought one at a pet store. This should be fixed because I read a lot of complaints about this.

If you are unsure of the size, take your pooch to a pet store and try one on. The one I get for my lab just did not fit at all and this is what helped me.

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

Jason I wish I could help you - I would measure around the girth or the dogs midsection and look at the sizes and measurements on each vest! Good Luck! great for dogs to swim!

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

I think I would go for an adult vest in a size small. If you can, measure her around the chest, and you can go by the exact dimensions listed. I went by weight, and that was a mistake.

Hi- I bought an extra small for my 10 pound daschund - It is a little snug, probably a medium would work-

Just measured ours. Looks like the medium, pictured above, is correctly measured. Ours is about the same size as yours on the bottom which makes it a small. Its interior is a perfect fit for our Shih Tzu, all 11 pounds of him, and he loves riding in it.....in comfort and style. This was a great investment and it keeps him safe and happy.

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.

The medium fit our 22 lb dog, he is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, so I'm thinking you may want a large one. It's a great life vest - highly recommended.

My dog is @39 lb, 17-18" length and 27" girth. The Large was much too long but fine around the girth. I exchanged for the Medium and the length is perfect but too small on the girth. So I think the Medium would probably fit your pooch perfectly.

I have a 11.6lb shitzu mix and we got her an XS. It fits pretty snugly, but it's short on her torso. If your dog has a lot of hair you may want to size up.

i agree with Deborah Brown's comment. I returned the medium as well. mu chiuaua is 10 lbs and is 9" at shoulder and 13" long from chest to start of tail. seeing only the medium size, i'd need an extra large (which i don't think think they make. it seems like the medium would work for teacup sized dogs (< 5lbs) that are very docile.

My dog is about 12 lbs yorkie jack mix and I bought a medium. It fits her well. I am not sure that medium would fit your dog correctly. Sorry I am not much help.
