If it's big, try to see if you can exchange it for a L. We bought a L for our 60 pound lab and it fits great, but also has room for him to grow into it.

Hi, As per the Manufacturer size chart , Extra Large seems to be the right option:Extra Large: 25" - 41" girth, 70 - 90 lbsThe Large option covers 50-69 lbs. Large: 20" - 35" girth, 50 - 69 lbsHope that helps!Surgi Solution Customer Care

I think a large would be fine! My dog is a pitt mix that weights 57 lbs and the straps were way too big for her. There is a ton of room in the pack so even if it's shorter then your dogs hipsThe large will be able to fit all the things that you two need!

Based on my experience, a medium might be the best option. My dog is a lab mix. She's about 65 lbs, 31" chest, 22" waist. The medium size fits her quite well. I've adjusted the harness so it's just a little bit loose on her; there's still enough room to expand the front harness by 3 inches or so around the chest and the rear harness has enough room to expand by about 11 inches around the waist. The rear leg straps are adjusted as big as they go and they were just about right for her; the circumference where her hip connects to her body is about 19". I've since started using the harness without the rear leg straps as my dog recently had one of her legs amputated. Even without the rear leg straps the harness works quite well.

I would go for the XL size. I have a bigger dog that sounds about your dogs size and he fits but it is a little snug. the XL would account for the dimensions of your dog and leave him a little room to move around.

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 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��

Can I ask what you ended up getting for your Berner. We have a Berner also and the xl at 4" seems a little large. I don't want them so tight it is uncomfortable though. She is 100 lbs and getting weak in the hips.

I purchased the XL for a slender 70 pound shepherd and 60 pound lab mix and it fit them perfectly. So you can sort of go from there.

Agree with the others, go with a bigger one. I have a 45 lb lab mix and it is bug enough for him to curl up and stretch out. Double him, and I would say go for the 52".

Ive bought both sizes they love them, but probably xlarge it's a better fit for a Labrador.

A large will be fine. They are for 60-130 lbs. I have a 65lb black lab and it fits her just fine. Now if only she wouldn't hate it so bad...works great for keeping her from pulling, but she really gets irritated with it and constantly rubs in her nose on the ground trying to get it off. Good luck! You can't beat this price either.

A Med will be too small. My lab is 50-55 lbs and the M is too small for her. The L/XL works perfectly. You'll just need to do some adjusting before the first use.

I have the XXL for my 120lb. German Shepherd. The XL was too small for him, he was always hanging off the edge because he's very long and likes to stretch out. I guess it all depends on how your Boxer sleeps. If he curls up, get him the XL, but if he likes to stretch out, get the XXL. My guy is very tall and long, at 100lbs., I imagine yours is too.

I have a Doberman who's about 85 lbs and we have the XL. It fits and works fine but we probably could have gone with the large.

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 have a 75 pound lab-boxer and it fits him nicely...but his neck is probably not as big as yours...he has more the lab neck instead of the boxer neck. The collar is very sturdy and is great for water dogs!

My son has a 90 lb. lab mix with long legs. He was very comfortable on the x-large.

This collar adjusts from 13" - 22". To get a correct fitting, measure your labs neck circumference at the widest point then add 1 inch. If the measurement is less than 13 inch, then it won't fit right now, but will grow into it over a few months. This collar is probably the correct size for at least the first 1-2 years. After 12-16 months your dog should have reached full size at which time you will be able to determine permanent collar size.The X -Large (Lumberjack) is the preferred size for Labrador (adjusts from 17" - 27"), but will depend on your dogs growth.
