its because of where his breastbone is i think. you are wrapping it too high. i buy mens depends large bladder pads, and i feel with my hsnd (i know nasty) exactly where his penis is, then put the depends pad with it square in the middle of the penis, hold pad there then place wrap around the pad pulling it snug around pad and his body then velcro fit on top. it should b behind the breastplate and fit him. poodles, chihuahuas etc have large breastbones, you have to go behind it and physically fit exactly where he will pee at. hope this helps

My basset doesn't seem to fit into diapers. I bought the male wrap. It works okay. I say okay only because I have a dog that loves to roll on his back and have a good time. This will turn the wrap or he has even managed to roll it off. As long as he is sleeping....it works!

We got standard diapers for humans, cut the sides, and tied them around the mid section of the dog so they made a band across the ureter and around his back. To change them, we had to cut them off. The dog (furry) was very wet all across his front with each changing and we had to bathe him often.

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!

You might ask your vet or specialist if they have one you can try on for size. That is what my veterinary internist did for us - he had us come in and we tried the different sizes on Angie and then I ordered it online via Amazon

I have a 17 lb Border Terrier, with a 16 inch waist. I bought the small first and although they fit, there was little room to adjust. I prefer the medium because it allows more space to adjust.

You can only adjust around the waist with the velcro and there is a little pull tab that makes the tail hole smaller. Our german/lab mix is about 70-75lbs and they fit, but they have gotten slightly looser over time. I don't think the XXL size would be good (that's the size I'm using), but possibly a smaller size. The pull string on the tail eventually becomes useless because it gets messed up when you wash it and it sticks to the velcro. If you get the right size meant for the your weight of dog, my guess is it should be okay - can always put it on and if it doesn't fit, send it back?

just like clothes, different brand sizes are not the same. we tried another brand for our other dog about the same size as yours, went to a medium and put double pads inside with no problems

Try the extra large...these things are great but for dogs with a belly, can be too tight when they are laying down...

I suggest you get the next size up (tall large). The large works for my 75 lb dog, but I wish I'd gotten the tall.

The large size came to me big enough to fit a poodle. It came from China, so there may have been an ordering disconnect in regards to sizes. Based on this, I'd say Large for your little guy, but maybe they would get the sizing right for you and then it would be far too big. I am of no help, sorry!

I had a gorgeous female greyhound, 70 lbs. Greyhounds have a very small tuck(waist). I probably could have gotten away with a size large but the xl was just a tad large and she was comfortable with my selection. I am willing to bet that on most 70 lb dog breeds, xl would fit well. Also, I think you could probably return if the fit was wrong. (Try on over a diaper for sanitary reasons).

I bought the medium for my toy poodle and it fit perfect. You may want to buy the large.

I bought large ones for my 105 lb dog, and they fit, but there is some problem with them rotating so that the fabric actually on the bottom. I'd be inclined to go a bit smaller than you'd think.

I have not received the diaper yet, it always takes them at least a month to get it out. I would think that as long as you have the measurments correct the bob tail won't matter so much and you could probably adjust for the supper skinny part.

I bought a Large for my 50 lb standard poodle. The leash part isn't very long when you wrap it around their chest. I would recommend a large so the leash isn't too short

The Buddy System is sized for your waist - not the size of the dog. The sizes are all adjustable but the medium would give you room to adjust it to where you want it to rest comfortably. I have one for my 35 # dog and my daughter has one for her 65 # dog and we both bought size M.

I would get the next size up. I use mine on a 7# chihuahua and tho there is extra room it isn't a lot. Lori

I would try the medium to start with. For my 50 lbs Dalmatian, I found the medium too tight and the large to big. In the case of it being too tight, his back legs went to sleep and he could not get up or walk. I thought the end was near for him and was in a panic until I removed the band and after a few minutes, he was back to normal. I ended up with 12 of the mediums since he would go through about 3 or 4 a day (even using sanitary pads inside the band). That way, I did not have to wash as often. To deal with the size not being quite right, I made an extension with some heavy fabric and lots of velcro strips so that I could adjust it to whatever size was required in case he lost or gained weight. Worked for us.
