my dog weighs 9 lbs, measures 15.5 girth and 12 length. Are they cotton? What size should I get? In the past they have fallen off because they were too big even though the measurements were right for the size I got. Do they shrink?

I would definitely get medium in those they run very very small. I had purchased a snowsuit with hood from this company in medium as well and it didn't fit my dog it looked like for a newborn puppy (wouldn't recommend those). But pajamas are fine they just take a little while to arrive as they come from china.

This is the review I submitted for this harness under a different color. Hope it helps!:"I have ordered several of these harnesses in the light blue, pink and purple as my mini dachshund has grown and they are all beautiful. They have rich pigmentation and are well-made. They seem to run small, so make sure to measure your pup. My baby girl is 11 lbs now and fits the MD perfectly. She was 4 lbs in the XS (which was a tad loose when we first got her) and 7ish lbs in the SM, for reference. I **highly** recommend them if your concern is a harness that won't pull on the spine, especially for Dachshunds. She has grown up in them and refuses to use any other kind."

I would order a small. I have a 9 lb Havanese, girth 17, 14 inches long and I originally ordered an XS, which I had to return. This runs a little small. I hope I helped you.

I think I went by size instead of weight. My Newfie was a giant breed, but not nearly as heavy as most. He needed the larger size, plus I added a pad or disposable diaper. I bought one and tried it before I bought more. They came very fast!

All I can do is tell you what weight my dog is so you can use that info, I was worried if they would fit at 4.5 lbs. they fit perfectly and you might say bulkier but a lot more comfortable for the dogs, I scoured the internet just to find this kind. Hope this helps

I noticed they shrink a little bit after their first wash but then they stay consistent. I just measured one of mine and it is 23" x 14".

I went by weight as well. I had purchased XL disposable diapers for my lab/shepard cross in the past, but they always seemed way too small, uncomfortable and fell off. So the XXL washable is a bit big for my dog, but for the most part they do the job. And like others said, the waist is adjustable to an extent. My dog is 15 years old, these have been a blessing! Good luck!

It would probably be alright. I purchased small for my 11 pound shih Tzu -poodle mix and am thinking they are a little small. He has rather curly hair on his legs and feet which makes it very difficult putting them on him when he is objecting in the first place. The zippers are troublesome pulling up over that hair also. So I'm not sure I get them entirely on his feet. If they were medium, I think it would be better. I hope this helps.

I have not had an issue with shrinking at all. I do wash the belts by hand. I have a toy poodle that weighed 12 pounds and I had bought him a medium last year. He has lost a little weight since then (18 years old) and body configuration and I had to order him this year the small one because the medium was just to big. He is about 14 inches at the withers in other words tall and skinny as a rail. As I said shrinkage has not been an issue by air drying and hand washing. Hope this helps you.

Sorry it took so long to answer. My dog is a Bichon. He is about 13 pounds and 17" long but seems to be bigger than your dogs. Medium fit him fine. I think small would be too small and large too big for your dogs. The large usually go on really big dogs. Hope this helps. Loretta

the sizes run a little small, its pretty good fabric i dont think its cotton but im not sure.it does have a little stretch to it which helps. Ive washed it a couple of times already it didnt really shrink. I got my dog a medium she weighs 15lbs so on the back part where its stretchy fits her a little short but over all it was well worth it.

my guy is about 11 lbs and the smalls are big on him, but I find that I can wrap them around him better, if they are too small then I fear the tape would just pop off. on a 9lb you should be good with extra small. these have been a life saver. And to extend them, we put a maxi pad in them ($3.46 for 20). The pad for the most part keep the wetness only to the pad, not the wrap.

I agree with the other responder. The part that made the most difference to me was the length because I wanted the dogs covered. I have 2 12-14 pound yorkies and I ordered the Medium. The hoods are so big they cover the dogs eyes but I've folded them back so that's better (that could be glued or sewn - I just haven't done it). The girth is really too big but I wouldn't have been happy with them any shorter in length. I wish the girth straps with shorter and had elastic in them. Maybe someday I'll make that alteration on them too. On my dogs, the front hangs almost to the ground but they stay pretty dry and that was the primary goal. Plus they look adorable in the coats!

You need to measure your dogs girth/chest. My dog is only 12 lbs but needed a medium and it was still too small.

I have 2 dogs who both wear the medium. One dog is a med size dog, 60 pounds ( all heavy muscle, very short hair,slender, no fat.) The other dog weighs 45 pounds, has longer,thicker hair, is shorter but has a big belly. I don't know if that helps, but I went by their chart for both dogs and they fit pretty well.There was a big difference between the med and the large. The med is shorter than I'd like but the large completely covered her like a blanket ( too big.)

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!
