My dog measures 30" around his chest. He's an Akita /Golden Retriever mix weighing 74 Lbs. Would the large or the extra large be a better fit for him

I think it would be best for you to contact the seller of this harness. I no longer use the harness. Previous answer by David is excellent. Give that loving doggie a big hug and kiss for me.

I have a standard poodle. He measures 31" do you mind telling me what size you got for your pup. 30-31'' fits in both the large and extra large range. I would appreciate some advice. THanks so much

This is a quality harness and is very well built. The harness runs a little on the large size. My best suggestion is to measure the dogs chest at the widest spot and then find a harness size that fits into those measurements. (Your dog will love the extra attention you give him while measuring his chest also.)

I got the medium for my 14 pound Bichon, donated it to the local animal shelter as it was too snug, I would opt for the large for your dog.

I have a 42lb Dalmatian. I got the extra small for her and it has room to spare. If I remember correctly she was right on the line too. I would put my money on the medium.

A size large? Probably not unless it's a very small German Shepherd who likes tight spaces. I'd go with extra large.

My 2 border collies (both about 40lbs) fit with lots of extra room in an extra large. I would think that the large would do as the extra large takes up a huge amount of space and when the dogs curl up, there is lots of room. I will say that I put extra cushioning in the bed (just put a blanket inside, which is easy) so the dogs can sink in the cushioning more.

I would get the large, I got the XL for my olde English Bulldogge and his girth is 34 and there was still about 6 inches of extra space on the tightest adjustment!

I would go with the extra large. You want this to be snug, not too loose and baggy.

I would think the large should fit. We have a medium for our 55lb hound mix - he's thin, but has a very large, deep chest - and the straps still have a lot of extra growing space. We also sewed some cushioning around the straps to keep them from chafing. Used pieces from an old, fleecy crate liner and it was quite quick and easy.

I think the large size should work. I don't know if there is an extra large, but if there is I would get that. The large is on the big side for our 45lb Border Collie mix, but she likes larger sizes toys.

My dog is pretty long tall and lean and the medium was good. I think a small might be good for you unless his chest is big for his size. There is quite a bit of leeway on the straps as well.

Hello, It is tough to say without the girth measurement. I think the large will work for a long time but he could out grow it. However, the X-Large might not fit right now and he will have to grow into it. If you measure his girth and let me know I'll be able to better fit him into the right vest.Regards,Doggie Stylz

I have a lab that uses the large. I would say you need to go to the extra large if he is still growing.

You should be fine with a large. It comes with straps that you can either tighten or loosen. I have a 75# doberman and I have to tighten the straps to fit him, but there's plenty of slack left for a dog built larger or with a larger frame.

I would go for the XL size. I have a bigger dog that sounds about your dogs size and he fits but it is a little snug. the XL would account for the dimensions of your dog and leave him a little room to move around.

We have a golden retriever who weighs over 100. We bought him the XL which fit fine with a bit of room to spare. However, the clasp that holds the front together broke when we first buckled it. It seem to be made of a rather flimsy material. The other clasps were fine. We returned the product and bought a K9 which was considerable more expensive but very sturdy. Hope this helps. I think a large would be fine for 55 lbs. You might even be able to do a medium.

Hi our dog is about 45 to 50 lbs. I ordered the large because she is very big around her chest and stomach. It was a good size for her. I think you should go with the XL!! I hope I was helpful? Happy New Year!

I'd recommend being conservative and going larger rather than smaller, if you are trying to decide between sizes. They have a size chart on the ad, but without looking at it maybe you'd be OK with a large. I have a 70 lb but very lean mixed breed and thought I could get him into a large, but he ended up needing an extra large. It fits very nice and my dog seemed happy to put it on, but in the end, my dog is tough to get into the water, so I never got to see how well it kept him afloat.
