What is the sizing for these collars? I have a 5 1/2 lb. yorkie, with about an 8" collar???? So confused if I need an X-small, or Small?

We used the X-small on our 5 lb Yorkie and it worked fine. It has some adjustment with its Velcro strap.

I have a 6 lb yorkie and she fit perfectly into the x-small. I recently uploaded a pic of her under the reviews. IT was so comfy that she immediately fell asleep. The weight of the xs is also perfect for the Yorkie's fragile neck. Good Luck with your pup.

I used this for a cat that was about 6 1'2 lbs. at that time. She hated it so much that I took it off her after a little while. I used the E collar the vet gave me and she seemed to tolerate that better.

I have a small for my cat and I just tried it on our yorkie and it was too big, one swipe from his paw and it was off, however I did not loop his collar thru it, but it did appear to big in general.

definitely get small. I had a 5 lb chiuaua that I got a small for and it fit perfect. A extra small would be for a cat. you dog will love it, it is so much more comfortable than a plastic E-collar and so easy to put on him

I used an X-small with our 5 lb chihuahua. She is short haired and it was a little big for her.

My cat is average size and the collar has Velcro so you can adjust it to fit your dog. Nevertheless I couldn't make it small enough so Shadow didn't wind up wearing it around his waist.

The x-small is for neck sizes 6" and under and small is for neck sizes 6" to 10" - it's best to measure your dogs neck and base the size off of that. It's made so that the dog's collar goes through the small black loops on the inside of the Kong Cloud to keep it snuggly in place. Our 10 pound Chiweenie required the Small and it was perfect for him.

Hey LaurelI bought the small for my Pomeranian puppy. Fit well. Her collar was 9" . You have the option of controlling the size a little because the collar runs through loops on inside of kong collar and you can also adjust by inflating or deflating the kong collar. ;-) hope that helpsRobin

I bought the collar for my Himalayan cat. She weighs about 11 lbs. I bought her an X Small and it was a pretty good fit. She has a small neck...she may be bigger than your Yorkie but I would definitely get an X Small since the one I got for my cat still turned a little at the tightest point. Hope this helps!

I have an 8 lb kitty and she uses a Small which fits comfortably around a 16 oz bottle of water. I can also cram a Coke can (approx 8.5") into it but it's very snug. Hope this helps!

An x small would be too big. I don't know if they have an xxs. I would Google thundershirt and see the sizes and what they recommend for a very small dog.

an X-small would fit nicely because of the way the product is made around the neck! The details for a X-small for this product states "For dogs with a girth of 15-inch-19-inch and weighing 11-18-pounds" so that should work. It's true to it's size!

Measure around the largest part of their chest (girth) and that should give you a proper fit. My Yorkie is a little over 13 inches around so I ordered the XS. It fits her quite well. I also checked the Thundershirt website for a measuring chart, just to make sure. I found that the girth is more import than the weight of the dog. I hope that helps you!

I too have Yorkies! Only with exceptions will the size small fit otherwise it will slide right off. I have a 2.5 pound yorkie and use these but only after washing and drying 3 times to shrink it than with a U by kotex pad inside of it. I use the security maxi over night absorbent pads and cut 3 inches off the end. The bulk of the kotex pad is what helps it stay on. You can buy the kotex at a great price right on amazon. The pads stay really dry to the skin perfect for our babies.

Hi, I got mine the x-small, he was about 10 pounds and it fit perfectly. That being said, I think this product is a sham and did nothing for our dog.

I would think that a medium would be the size you would use on your Labradoodle. I have a German shorthair pointer and that is the size I use on her. Nice thing with these collars you can take links out or add. Very easy to do! Great collar! Hope this helps you!

I ordered an xsmall and had to return it for the small. My dog is a pugalier and I think she is about the same size as your dog. She weighs about 24 lbs. I didn't want it to be too tight on her upper body. I thought they run a little small.

If your dog is not likely to be growing into a thicker neck, I would think (but can't be certain) that the small, which claims to go up to 12" and is only 3/4" wide might be the better choice. Otherwise you will have a lot of extra loop hanging down (which dog could get caught on). I have only had experience with the 1" wide large & medium collars. Good luck to you and your canine pal!

my Newfie has 4 inch paws. I bought him the xlarge which says it is 4 inches. They fit really snugly and I wish they were about 1/4 - 1/2 inch larger. They work okay as is though. The website has a good description of the sizes. The small says it is 2-1/4 inch, the medium 2-3/4 I think. Measure carefully. You want them reasonably snug so they don't slip. I hope this helps

Hi! My Yorkie is about 4 lbs and the small is a little big on him. So, I think the small would for your pup nicely! I agree, it would be helpful if they added a description. Hope I helped :-)

Hi, I bought a Small for my 6.7 lbs puppy, it was too big, so I got the XSmall, fits perfect

Our XS fit our 8.5 lb. Yorkie just fine but could accommodate an even heavier dog so there's room for growth. That being said, I think the XXS would work for you. Yorkies tend to be chunkier, where Chihuahuas are quite lean in comparison. Good luck!

I have a 1/2 Corgi, 1/2 Mini Aussie Sheppard that is a dense, but svelt 24 lbs. He wears a small and they fit perfectly. Hope this helps.

Medium. I bought medium for my Bichon Frise (14 lbs.) He managed to get out the collar. Small was a perfect fit. Corgis are slightly bigger, so medium will be a fit.

I would definitely go for extra small. I ordered the large because of the measurements and I was concerned because they recommend them for bigger dogs (which he is not, he's mostly Corgi ) but they did fit very well when I I put them on him (I guess he's a "husky boy". ;)) so stick with their measurements and you will be fine.

I have an extra small for my 4 lb yorkie and a small for my 6 lb. I'd say either medium would work. A snug fit is better than a loose fit.
