MM, It would depend on your dogs waist size. I used the medium size on my Schnauzer mix who weighed 28-30 pds, and she had lumps I had to take in to consideration when deciding on the size. These diapers were the perfect answer for my dog and I had tried two other brands before deciding on these.Every situation is different and you may have to try different sizes to find the right fit for your dog. But I would go by waist size first.

The sizes run small. My german shepherd was 70 lbs. and the x-large was too small for her. You should go for a size up.

I thinks so. We have a 16lb dog and it works for her - just get the smaller size.

It will fit a 10 lb. dog or smaller. It would not fit my 16 lb. dog, but fit my 9 lb. one.

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.

I would say a Large. It's better to go by the waist size, and your pooch is on the high end of the large. I have a 26 pounder with Cushings, so her belly is bigger, and the medium was too small (had to revise by adding velcro tabs to make it bigger, but over time the velcro wears out and curls with washing). The large stays on and also leaves more room for a pad to add inside for extra incontinence. You stated you have a Basset mix...how low is the belly to the ground? If you decided to go for the medium, you will definitely need velcro strips to enlarge the waist area. (I had to do the same for my dogs Thundershirt). I personally think the Large would be best.

I bought medium size for a pug and were really big, so you will need the smallest

I would say a small should do. I have a 16 pound Shih Tzu with a girth measurement of 18 inches and he wears a medium. You can also cinch up/let out the part that goes around the dogs chest area. I have bought several of these and the price is much better than in the doggie stores. They are very well made. Hope this helps !!!

By the time I received them from online order, my dog was over her cycle. However, I do know that the small size baby diapers I purchased at store did not work at all and kept falling off. Probably the Simple Solution diapers would be worth trying since they are made for that purpose. To me they would be worth trying.

I'd go larger. Unless your doggie will try to squirm out of it. I have a miniSchnauzer that fell between the 2 small sizes. She's more comfortable in the slightly larger size, which is also easy to make tighter, if I ever need to - just sew on 2 Velco patches to the diaper to make the attachment place larger. Can't make a too-small diaper bigger easily!

i believe there are two sizes. I got the small one for my dog who will eventually weigh 15 pounds. Not sure if the big one will work for you or not. I love this product. it is fairly inexpensive so worth a try. I put newspapers between the pad and the plastic to absorb more urine. it works really well.

I don't know about a diaper -- I bought them for my dog who is not house-trained & we bought very very large ones, which he uses consistently while we try to train him.

there is no need for an additional disposable diaper if you use 2 of these reusable ones. but you might take the next lager size if you are planning to. my son was about the same size and height then yours and the medium still fits him.

This item may be too small for a 16 lb dog. My chi/mix fits well in it and he is under 12 lbs.

I believe a large would do the job for your Newf. I have Greyhounds and the medium works just right for them, but greyhound paws while long are on the skinny side in terms of width.

I would get extra small for an 8 pound dog. We have a 16-18 pound dog and got the small and it fits well.

Hi Karina, I was looking for a diaper that will hold poop also and settled on the Snuggease http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VJ33C6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 They work pretty well. My Bichon has lost a lot of weight and is down to 12.6 pounds now and the small size fits him (with a peekeeper underneath loaded with an xlarge Poise pad). Point being that I *think* maybe the small size would work for your Yorkie...oh I see he is 15 years nto 15 lbs, so so for the superfluous information.
