What size would be recommended for a 56 lb. pitbull?

There is only one size. My Chesapeake has an iron jar and it takes him a year of endless chomping on his ball to even start a crack in it. These balls are the best and make a wonderful fetching toy as well as an activity the dog can do alone.

I would recommend a size 5. We have an 85 lb American pit bull/Boxer and he wears a size 6 and it is big on him, but allows more "yawning" room than the size 5. I bet the size 5 will be a good fit, allowing your boxer room but still being safe.

This maybe too big? But I have a pitbull mix who is about knee height on me I'm 5'3 and she's about 25" long. She has enough room to stand and turn and lay. Which is recommended when buying a cage.

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.

my lab is 67 lbs and the size large is almost too big to fit him. so, i would suggest size medium for y our beast. i am very happy with the quality of this product. he pulls me on my bicycle with no problem from the harness. good luck. put that bulldog to work.

I agree with the others "the XL would be your best size" due to the Velcro strap closure on the belly side of the jacket on the Large not fitting if your Pit is Well Built (Heavy around Stomach & Chest). The jacket may be Long fully covering your Dogs Back but, it's better to be longer than not fitting at all. You Dog's going to Love the warmth of this Coat��

My dogs are about fifty pounds and they were a large, so a large or an extra large should fit.

You might try a medium actually my pit is 70 ib n the large is good for him. But the padding is a little light so I want to add some more so he floats better. Also the return policy is awesome so if it doesn't fit u can return it and order the right size.

I have a 45lb American Pit Bull and the large fits her. Since bully breeds can sometimes have wide chests, I measured my dog's chest girth, neck, and back then went to the Outward Hound website to look at the sizing chart to find the best size. The website says the chest girth is the most important probably because the chest straps have the least room for adjustment. Good luck! It's a great backpack :-) http://www.myoutwardhound.com/2490.html

My boxer is about 58lbs and when she lies in the large size it seems too big, so I am getting her a medium. But if your dog likes lots of room I would stick to the large.

I went with the medium for my 18 pound Jack Russell and it fits well. That should be fine for your dog.

My dog weighs about 26 and I got the medium for him. He's a Scottish Terrier and is stocky. The medium is a little large but not uncomfortably so. If you know what size the Pit Bull was you can sort of go by that. My Amstaff terrier weighed 100 lbs. but he was a purebred. I would think that the extra large would be a better bet. If, however, your dog seems to have small bones and not a large chest, the large would be better.

I have a 57lb boxer mix and he needed a Large. I think this runs small, but there are 2 straps that are adjustable on the backpack, which I did need to shorten up to the smaller end for my dog. You may be okay with the large for your dog at 83lbs since I would think the XL would be for a dog the size of a Newfie or large lab. I hope this helps.

A medium is too large. I recommend the small. My 75 pound pit mix takes the medium.and it fit s perfectly.

I bought the medium and my pit bull is small with a 25" girth. I have extra strap hanging off. You should be (at most) fine with what I have left hanging.

Yeah, go ahead and try the XL. I have a 7 pound boxer and it fits him just fine. If not, I'm pretty sure they would allow a return.
