I am not sure whether to get a small or medium size for my Pug. He is 20 lbs. and his waist is 19 inches.

I don't know if your pug is paralyzed, or what the issue is. I highly recommend the drag bag for indoor and outdoor use. It has been very helpful for my paralyzed dachsund I got the medium. He was 29lbs and about 25in at the waist at the time. He has gone to 23 lbs, not sure on the waiste right now but it has been a huge help for us!!!

Personally, would go with the medium. We got the small, male dashound - 15 lbs, but doesn't seem like he really has a lot of breathing space when he has it on. Plus, we keep a male diaper wrap with liner on him when he has it on, too. Hope this helps. good luck

I ordered a med for my 15lb daschund/terrier and it worked out great. The elastic waist zip area has a lot of stretch to it.

Our foster doxie uses a small and he is about 14 pounds. I would think you need a medium.......can you check with the folks who make these to be sure? Lance is in his bag almost all the time and we too use a belly band with liner on him while he's in the bag. Don't know what we would do without it!

I bought this for a dog that weighs approximately12-15 pounds. I think the medium would have plenty of room if you wanted to add a blanket or something. But I would assume the smaller one would work better.

I am not sure how big a Bichon is compared to a pug, but I ordered a small for our pug and if I had to do it again I would order a medium.

I have a 20 lb Pekingese and I bought the medium harness. It was too big. I would go with the small harness.

I purchased the medium size for my dog. She is 21 lbs, and just about fits in it.

We got the small for our Malti-tzu who is 14lbs and 17in. girth and it fits him with a little room to spare (has adjustable straps) and we got the medium for our pug who is 23lbs and 25in girth. The medium is really too long for him but because of his thick broad chest & neck we had to get a larger size (he is only 15in from his neck to tail the malti-tzu is 17). The life jacket does have a neoprene belly band that is made to fit a little snug, but does not seem uncomfortable to the dogs (it has a small margin of adjustment to it). It's a very well made life jacket and you can't beat this price anywhere. Your dogs' girth is so close to the max for the small it could probably fit a medium but keep in mind that it would be long and maybe even a little loose. However, if your dog keeps a summer haircut the small may be just fine. Hope this helped you.

My dog is @39 lb, 17-18" length and 27" girth. The Large was much too long but fine around the girth. I exchanged for the Medium and the length is perfect but too small on the girth. So I think the Medium would probably fit your pooch perfectly.

The small should be fine for your pug. I have a lg. Jack Russell (19)lbs. and two cats. They seem to drink more water.

If the pug is only ever going to eat 3/4 cup, get a small. I have a medium and it holds almost 2 cups for my black lab pup

I would say the small. I got the medium for my 18 pound dog because he likes to stretch out. He wouldn't sleep in it of course, so I returned it but I think medium would be pretty big for a 12 pound dog.

If you are going to get this harness, I would go with the large. My 26 pound pug mix fits in the medium with just a little extra, but my 50 pound pitty can't even get it over her head. This harness also stretches out quite a bit when worn, and needs constant adjustment to stay secure. So if you are using for a dog who is a little crazy(like my pug) and you need it to stay fitted on him correctly, you might want to go with a different harness.

Definitely not a small! A small fits snugly on my 22# terrier mix. I agree with the previous poster, a medium would probably work for you.

The large size should. Our pug was 20-21 pounds. There was plenty of room for her to move around in.

I ordered a small for my 19-pound beagle-mix and it fits fine. The medium might be too big for your pup.

I have a 53 pounds bull terrier/border collie mix and the medium is just a tad loose on him. I would think a small might work better on a 19 pounds dog.

I'm not the seller, but it fits my 16lb. pug just fine. According to the Description on Amazon, it 'Fits 12"-28" girths.' So measure your pooch behind the legs (at the widest point, where a normal harness would be), and if it's within that size range, it should fit just fine.

I have a 20 lb dog, and the small works for him. He is slender in the body, and thick in the neck, so I bought the medium first, but had to return it.
