Help with sizing: I have a Beagle, who is a bit (ahem) overweight - should i buy Medium, or Small?

I went to granitegearstore.com and found the specs. Measure the dog at the widest point of their girth. XSmall fits 23-26", Small fits 26-29", Medium fits 29-32", Large fits 32-35", XLarge fits 35-38". I have a 75 lb. German Shepherd with a 29 1/2" girth, so I got the medium. The measurements are spot on. It fits her perfectly with close to 3 extra inches to grow into if needed. So you would have to measure the girth of your dog for an accurate size.

You should be fine with a medium but if you're worried about it not fitting, you can go with a large and cut the strap down to size if the dog is not at it's mature weight and still growing.

I would suggest a medium based on weight, but take a look at the following. The size chart I used from the company says petite (under 5 lbs like toys and puppies); small (less than 25 lbs- beagles, shelties); med (26-60 lbs-Dalmatian, spaniel); large (60-130 lbs -Danes, goldens, labs); XL (greater than 130 lbs- giants, oversized).

I would say a large. How many pounds? I have a small terrier and the medium is perfect.

I doubt it. I bought either a medium or a small for my beagle and it would have fit a teeny tiny dog.

Good morning, we have two miniature schnauzers weights 19 and 21 lbs and we have always bought small. They fit well. Medium would be too big.

I would definitely go for extra small. I ordered the large because of the measurements and I was concerned because they recommend them for bigger dogs (which he is not, he's mostly Corgi ) but they did fit very well when I I put them on him (I guess he's a "husky boy". ;)) so stick with their measurements and you will be fine.

I got a size Medium for our Min Pin mix dog. He is about 20 lbs and similar to Bichon size. I would guess a Medium would fit well for your dog. :)

The small fits dogs with a girth of 16"-20" and weight of 15-25 lbs. The medium fits dogs with a girth of 21"-27" and weight of 20-50 lbs. The small will be a better fit for your dog and shouldn't be too snug. The medium may be too large and not provide the proper support.

I ordered a small for my 10 lb dog, it is rather big, so for yours, I'd say a small.

My dog wears a medium and she is 17 lbs. Check out the Puppia website.... they will give you measurements.

My mini doxie is 17 lbs & has a girth of about 17 inches - wears the medium. I'd try the small on your dog, especially since they adjust.

Tough call. I got my 24-25lb Frenchie the Medium and it fit perfectly. My frenchie doesn't have one of those big chests-- he's kind of long and lean for a Frenchie. Hope this helps.

I got the medium for my 14 pound Bichon, donated it to the local animal shelter as it was too snug, I would opt for the large for your dog.

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

I think we went with medium for our Corgis. The straps are adjustable. I would go with a small for the dachshund.

My dog is a Medium size dog (like a large beagle...) and I got a Large. The shirt actually works wonders with my dog - I didn't believe it until I tried it haha.
