Not sure whether to order Small or Medium for our dogs; each weighs approx. 22-23 lbs (Shih Tzu mix and Lhasa mix)? Medium seems a very wide range.

Hi CarolMy Italian greyhound is only ten pounds. The small fits and there is much of the adjustment strap to make it far bigger. I really don't know, but I has such a fine experience with the customer service dept thereYou could call and ask. Personally, I'd order the small ����151;

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.

I'd get a small. I have a Medium for my 45 pound Cattle Dog. While it would cinch down quite a bit more, 20 pounds is a lot. If I were Carol R, I'd go with small.

I ordered the extra large for my 100# dog and it seems to be pretty true to the recommended sizing.

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.

The instructions say for under 40 pounds; however, if you have a tall, thin dog like mine, the weight is not the issue. I would recommend getting a medium if your dog is 16 inches or taller at the shoulder.

I would go up a size. My Shih Tzu is 4 3/4 lbs and it is just right for her. Hope this helps.

I have a 13 pound Shih Tzu and she wears a small. You may have to get one size bigger than you would normally get.

There is on the ruffwear site. It is based on the dogs chest measurement. Our two smaller labs 65 lbs took mediums and our big lab 95 lbs to a large. Hope this helps

I don't think you should have a problem. I had my 2 mini dachshunds in it together (each weighing 13-15lbs each) and they fit with ease. So just 1 Shih tzu should be quite fine. Have fun on your adventures!

We have Shih-tzu's that weigh about 16 pounds. They have separate crates but can both sleep together. A medium size dog could probably fit with b=no problem.

I purchased a small for my two dogs, one is about 15 lbs, the other 17lbs and they fit just perfectly. I would probably suggest an XS for your pups. :)

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.

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.

I ordered Medium for my 3 dogs, all of them weigh about 60 pounds...medium fits fine...if they would have been to large that would have been ok, as they are used only at night, and have leather collars for the daytime. Main thing with these collars is it's visibility.

Yes, I put both of my shih tzus in and they weigh a total of 27 pounds on a chubby day! It has been a blessing for my three legged pup! they enjoy riding in it.

My pug is 22 lbs but considered a small breed. If you had a medium size breed at that weight not so much

There was s guide that showed me I believe it went by weight rather than measure. I have two Bichons. One runs 16 to 17 pounds, The medium fits him perfectly. My other Bichon weighs between 22 and 25 pounds and the large fits him perfectly. You also have some wiggle room since it is adjustable like a dog collar is. Sorry it took so respond.

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 two Yorkies and they weigh between 5-6 pounds. You would need to order a extra small. I love these dog pants and they last a long time.
