Look to other brands these slid right off my Dobe, as their coats as about the same length and texture as your Doxie.

I think the extra small. My poodle is 11lbs with a 15" waist & uses the small size. I consider the waist where the diaper attaches. There is an inch gap between the two tabs. She sometimes wiggles out of these at night but has done the same with other brands as well. Wee wee's seem to hold the urine better. No leaks.

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

My dog weighs 10 lbs and she is very safe and comfortable in the small. I don't see any problem with your 2 fitting quite snugly in the small. As a matter of fact they may not be safe in the large if they are the tea cup variety. Hope this helps.

Hi there. Thanks for your question. My Millie is an Australian Silky Terrier X Shitzu. She is 15lbs and measures 18 inches around. Considering the size of your pup, I would suggest the size small over the medium. I just googled the small dimensions and they state small is suitable for 12.6-18.9 inches approximately. I'm sure you could even consider an extra small. The Vivien is classed as a "Group A Harness" - the XS can accommodate 9.45-13.39 inches. However if I had a dog your size, I would buy the size small. I hope this helps!! Melanie

We have the Large for an 80 lb Golden retriever and the small for a 50 pound Springer Spaniel. So, I think I would go with the small.

I would probably get a small to be safe. I originally ordered an xs for my chihuahua/Dotson mix pup who weighed 3 lbs then I changed order to small because of reviews and I'm glad I did. Since Maltese are mostly hair and have long bodies, small is probably going to fit yours way better. I hope this helps.

I have a small dog who weighs 9 lbs and I got her a medium. It fits her on the tightest loop. I would definitely go with a medium.

My dog is a 10 lb Yorkie and I just kind of guessed at small. I guessed correct. Any smaller than 8 lbs would require extra small. Small would probably fit up to 15 lbs or so. I hope that helps. If they don't fit Amazon lets you return stuff anyway.

When you order these you need to go by their weight. My dog is a Maltese and she is only 8.8 lbs and she wears a XSmall. It needs to be tight on them to work.. If a medium is to big then try a small cause you want it tight fitting.

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 got a medium for my 35 lb dog and a small for my 25 lb dog. You should contact the manufacturer to see if they make an XS.

My Doxie is 9lbs and it's on the biggest notch right now so if she's smaller then that yes. The med I have for my 13lb girl and its on the middle hole.

don't think the small would fit. I have a 8lb yorkie and it is on next to last hole. you would most likely need bigger size

I have a small lab that's 46 lbs. The large is perfect. I also had a 19 lb. Doxie and the small worked for him.

I'd err on the side of bigger! My 15 lb chi-mix needed a medium. These really run quite small. I also had to cut a piece out of the belly side because it was too long, but that wasn't a big deal.

A small would fit better. The x-small was too tight on my toy poodle. She is more comfortable with the small and takes thunders in stride.

I have a 7 lb. yorkie. I got him a small and it's way too tight for him. Extra small will be too small. A small will probably fit just right.
