My dog is fully grown and is 26in. Can the medium be let down to 26in or do I need to get the small, and can the small be let out a few inches?

We have a siberian huskey. He is approximately 26" from his foot to his shoulder. His chest is muscular and his body narrows towards his hips. This pack fits him very well. It is adjustable, but I am not sure it would be small enough for your needs. I hope this helps...

I would go with the small. I got my dog the L/XL which starts at 32", my pup is 32" now and it just fits with all straps tight. It looks like the small goes to 27" so you should be good.

Yes, the medium can be brought down to 26".I have 3 dogs: 2 w a 26" & 1 27". I bought the medium & I adjust it to each of them comfortably. They have three different body styles. Just make sure you keep the weight distribution even or it will slide off to one side. As they drink the water I have stored in there, it obviously gets lighter so I pick up rocks & sticks & stuff to put in the pockets to keep the weight even. I split 2 water bottles, a collapsible water bowl, treats, & 2 toys between the pockets as that also gives me materials to move between pockets while keeping the weight even.

I don't know if this helps but my 50 lb golden mix was also right on the edge od medium/small. I went with sma and there is plenty of room. Medium would have been too large. Also have to say it wears well for a very actice dog that I take hiking regularly and he carries four bottles of water.

I feel that the packs run a little large. I bought an extra small for my dog. He's 17 pounds and the extra small is still too large. Not unusable but also not a perfect fit. Awesome build quality though

My dog is 100lb American Bulldog and I had the same concerns of inbetween the large and medium. I went with the medium and it fits great. So I would choose the smaller of the two sizes your looking at.

My little guy has a 13 In waist and I get him a small and there is plenty of room for a bigger dog. I get him the small and it is for 12 to 19 in. You may be able to do the small but I would probably go bigger if it were me.

Medium should fit perfect and allow her some time to grow into it. Our daughter was almost two when we purchased and around 23lbs and she used it right away. She still has more growing room. You should be fine.

My 24 pound Sheltie (and all her fluff) fits in the medium, though just barely. You can always return it and get a size down if it doesn't fit. You don't want it too small because it'll rub their skin raw.

I would highly recommend following the size chart especially in the chest region. However, the medium fits my 7 lb maltese and the small fits my 4 lb maltese. Hope that helps.

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 would definitely purchase the medium if she likes to chew, their is a big difference between the small and the medium, the large is for 26 to 50 lb. dogs I give my smaller beagle the medium and she is 25 lbs. I give my 15 inch beagle either the medium or large. These are very expensive if you buy them through your vet as I did in the beginning. Hope this helps!

I bought the large. I have a Doberman that is 73 lbs and a lab that is about 65 lbs and they both use this bed and an old petsmate. I think a medium would be too small and would not be strong enough for your dog. Just my opinion.

My dog is small but I bought a med and cinched it down to fit. In my opinion, I think a large cinched to fit would be appropriate.

What kind of dog? I have a 4lb, 8 and half month old Chihuahua. I ordered the small and returned it. I'm happy with the medium. Cortez will not get much bigger. I can assure you if you get the wrong size the return is simple quick and easy. Please let me know if I can help any more. joanne

My dog has the same measurements as yours. I got the medium and it fits perfectly.

If you think your dog might grow more, I would get the large size. If he/she is fully grown I would get the medium size. I would not hesitate to contact the manufacturer with this question either.

I would get the 30 in so the dog can grow into it and you won't have to buy another one later. This size may come with a divider so the dog doesn't have the full space.

We have a beagle, about the same size - I order the mediums. Be careful that you don't get it too tight, you could cause a little issue with circulation, at least that's been our experience.

I agree that the small would probably be a good choice. My dogs are around 20lbs, but were a little heavier in the past. I have to cinch a medium down about as small as it goes to fit the neck. I was afraid that something that fit a 6 lb dog, the small, might not fit mine, but the straps are long to allow for a wide range of size variation. Knowing that now, I think a small would have been fine for mine as well.

No I don't think the medium will work for you. I have a 10lb Pom and the medium wasn't deep enough for her. Good luck and hope this helps

I would probably get the small one since it runs true to size. The medium girth is 21-27 and that's to big for a bichon. i got a lg for my bulldog and it fits but a medium would have fit snigger on him. Good luck
