What size for a dalmation whose neck is 17" and chest is almost 28'?

I have a dalmation mix about that size and the large is a perfect fit. I also have got the tether to anchor the harness to either the tie down in the back seat or the seat belt in the front. The harness has a range of adjustments and fits well. Betsy wore hers almost constantly a couple summers ago where we traveled across the country. She never had any problems with rubbing.

I have a lab/beagle mix, who is the size of a lab with a broad chest. I'd say she'd probably be about equal to your dalmatian. I got her the large and it fits great, it adjusts.

My Ridgeback is about 70 lbs. and she's using a large. They're about the same body type.Hope this helps.

I brought a M size. 17 inches chest is difficult! It works max 16 inch only, the whole thing is 17 inches only, but when you close it with velcro, it only have 15 inches, remember the fabric has no elasticity. Also in between of 2 front legs, there are only 1.5 inches width. I mean cat's body is more flexible then dog, it should be okay but I can see that my dog Is not comfortable with that small distance between his front legs. Btw, my dog is 16.5 inches in chest behind front legs. He can barely wear it. But I can't say it's fit!!

The measurement for this harness is as follow, you should measure you the bottom of the neck before the chest. Small - 10-5/8-inch Neck; 11-7/8-inch to 16-5/8-inch chest, a medium will be 13 inches will be too big.

According to the packaging information, it depends on the dog's neck size and girth size. I have one of these harnesses in my inventory and it is a Medium.If the dog's neck size is 8"-14" and less than 20" in girth, you would want a small. If the dog's neck size is 14"-20" and less than 28" in girth, you'd want a Medium. Finally, the Large harness is for dogs with 18"-26" neck size and is less than 36" in girth. Hope this helps in your decision-making!

I an not sure, I would say a large and to confirm I would check torso length, as he is over 6 feet. Thanks, I hope this helps. :-)

Hello,My dog's neck is 17.5 inches, and I had to take links out of it. I don't know about extra links.

That question made me look at the original ad for the harness. For the medium harness, it specifies that it works for neck sizes 12" to 17". For the large and extra large size, the spec is 16" to 24" CHEST size. This is clearly incorrect. A 16" chest size corresponds to quite a small dog. They must mean neck size. My dogs have 21" and 18" neck sizes and 32" and 31" chest sizes. The large harness fits them both just fine. My advice is to go for the larger size if your dog has a relatively large chest or if you think it is going to grow.

take Baxter's leash and wrap around his chest, measure the length, then you can order the correct size. Good luck

It really depends on what size around the chest he is. Our dog is 15" neck to tail and a medium is too big. She weighs 10 lbs. Try a small. These rain coats really don't fit as nice as the picture shows.

I have an 85 lb. Akita and the 20" collar just barely fits around her neck. It is summertime and she is shaved; during the fall/winter months when her fur grows back, this will not fit her.

We have a 65 lb Husky (very tall and lean for a husky) and an 85 lb Great Dane / Doberman mix (short - for a Dane - but very solid, with a barrel chest). They both wear the large, and it works for each of them, but very differently. Fortunately, the straps are adjustable both around the middle, and the chest. I'm guessing the small with the straps let out a bit, or the medium with the straps really tightened down would probably work, but I'd likely opt for small for a streamlined fit (dog will likely be more comfortable without the bulk).

If your dogs neck is 18 inches you should probably consider going with a large. My dogs neck is 14 inches and there is no room for growth, so a large is definitely the way to go for your dog.

A small fit my miniature dachshund's neck. She's about 10 pounds. Didn't work for her though. Due to her long body she could get to her rear end.

This one should work better. I had the same problem as you. I ordered the small for my mini dacshund and it was to short. So I ordered the long short and the neck width was still perfect but the snout length was much longer and prevented her from getting to her tail & back legs.

I'm sorry but I didn't do that. I went more by the overall size of my dog. She is only about 6 to 7 lbs, so I went with the small. The neck and chest straps are adjustable. Hope this helps you.

Measure the dogs neck and add about 1 inch, then refer to the size shown in the ad. I ordered a medium after measuring my Cairn's neck and had to reorder for a large. I kept the medium for my Lapso. The collars are somewhat adjustable with the velcro strip. I say that because my terrier is not a big dog but the large fits closed, but there would be a good adjustable area for larger dogs. The medium was just too tight and it really scared him. He is 13, a great dog and must be comfortable enough to get used to it if we need to use it again.

One of my shih tzu's measures 16 and one measures 15.5 inches around the chest. The large is adjustable for both and fits well.
