My labrador measures 35 inches in the chest just behind his front legs. Will this fit? Appropriate for moderate mountain hiking?

I just measured my Lab/Golden mix and she is 33 inches so yes, it will fit your lab. The great thing about this harness is that it allows your adjust the tightness of the harness. You put the harness on the dog, then pull on leash and move a clip to the appropriate fit on the dog. Yes, this would be appropriate for moderate mountain hiking. Both my dogs were un-walkable (would drag my wife and/or pull until they gagged) prior to this harness. I now go running everyday with my lab/golden mix with minimal issues. This product might now work for every dog, but it worked the first time and everytime we walk our dogs. Great product.

I am presently on vacation without the dogs, however my dog is a Weimaraner and with adjustments, this harness fit great. Hiking with it would work well.

I bought a large/XL for my dog who measures 31 inches in that area. The L/XL should work perfectly for you and your lab. It really does reduce pulling. I tried going back to my dog's choke collar once last week and it was an awful walk again....me being dragged around and "yelling" at him to stop pulling and heel! I couldn't wait to get back home and get the spoon halter back on. Happy hiking...should make it a lot safer for you, especially on steeper downhill slopes.

It will fit you easily and has a lot of room for adjustment. The size is great for a day hike and has room for phone, snack, extra water bottle, but nothing too bulky or large.

The small will fit up to 12" chest - measurements under the front legs. We have a 14 lb shihtzu and we use the medium because it gives more room to take it off & put it on, also nice length on the lead. The small we use for our little 7 lb papillon/Yorkie.

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.

It is 35" high so it will fit only if the opening is that large. Also don't know if it is large enough for a Great Dane. Our 100 lbs. lab-chow just fit.

Kathleen - my dog is a 95 lb lab mix ( not sure what he's mixed with, but he's big)with a deep chest and his fits with ample adjustment strap left over. Hope this helps

It fits my great dane and he's 42 inches around the chest and 22 inches around the neck so she should be fine! :)

I got it for my Mom's 20 lb Lhasa and there's plenty of room for her but I think 35 lbs would be too big. My mom loves it though. I got this one because it sits low to the ground and her dog could get in and out by herself without my mom having to lift her...plus, it doesn't look like a baby stroller.

I use this for a 12.5 lb dog 17 inches from toe to top of head. and he fits just comfortably. I do have 2 inches of foam padding covering bottom (it comes with no padding) and around the frame bars (so that does take up some room) because my dog likes to lean against the slanted frame rail and he was getting knocked against the rail each time we hit a crack in the sidewalk. But I wouldn't think a 40lb dog would fit in it.

The medium size was perfect for my 55-60 pound lab mix mutt. He's a lean build and all muscle. The chest size table on the info page is very accurate.

We had a male Labrador. He was at least 80 lbs. It was sturdy enough for him. We bought a pet bed that fit in it, and added his favorite blankets and just made it his nightly sleeping place so he didn't mind getting in when we needed him to. It folds compleatly flat for trave, bottom, bed and all and fit in the back of our Subaru.

My dog is a 90 lbs golden retriever and it fits just fine for him. Plenty of room for him.

I believe it would. I am no 115lb, but I am 5'4" and this pack is a very nice size for a day hike.

While the straps can be lengthened to fit, I would recommend you buy a large. To be certain, measure his chest. My 45 lb sheepdog has a 27 inch chest and a large fits him just fine. If yours will be growing to 65 lbs, you might want to either look at an extra large now, or buy one when he outgrows the large. Heck, for less than $20 it would be worth getting both as needed. Check the listing where it says what chest sizes go with which jacket for more information. (Click on "Large" then "Extra Large" and read the description that pops up below each.)

I think It may fit you very well.My hikes are for the day and of 5 to6 miles.I have adequate room for a book, first aid kit, lunch and a small soft cooler for two Coca Colas.

My chest measurement is 41 inches, I'm 5 feet 9 inches tall, and I weigh 175 pounds. I just wore the harness over my goose down winter coat on a hike, still cold here in the U.P. of Michigan. There is lots of adjustment left on the harness even with several layers and the coat. The harness is fantastic, so maybe take a chance on it. Hope this was helpful.

I hv a 100 lb Labrador and he fits fine. But he is an English Lab so he's shorter than most labs
