So, small size or medium? I have a 21lb Long Haired Dachshund with neck trouble and an 18lb Cavalier Spaniel. Want to keep clean ears also.

I would go medium. It is pretty low to the ground. I don't think a small would hold too much water. With the medium you don't have to worry about running dry and refilling constantly. You can always return if it doesn't look like a good fit.

I bought these in small for a 13 lb elderly bichon whose legs would start slipping out from under him when bending down for his food bowl on the floor. I did not buy the ceramic liners. The bottom of the bowl is about 1.25" off the floor and holds maximum 1.5 cups of water or dry food. Since he was a short dog these worked fine, and his long clipped ears pretty much stayed out of the bowls.

Given the option, my dogs use this water bowl. I would buy medium. Dog census--small Jack Russell, ancient, blind 25 lb mutt, and younger 35 lb mutt.

I bought this for my cats for a water bowl (have one that thinks its funny to tip them over and drag it - which with this bowl he cannot do) I would consider it a small bowl (it holds a cup maybe a little less). The little tabs on the side I think would be good to keep the ears away from the bowl... I love this bowl. it's super easy to clean, it's hard to move and tip over. It should work for your dogs if they don't eat over a cup of something at a feeding :) Hope that helps. My elderly cat doesn't have to bend or lay down to drink he can stand up and he's pretty tall (according to my vet) in the legs.

Get the large--I recommend getting a Stainless Steel bowl to put in this-Its a great holder-but not good for pets to eat and drink out of plastic-A stainless bowl for this is a standard size but you may want to get this holder first to be sure what size you need==can get anywhere-walmart,etc

I have two 13 pound Dachshunds, I put a body pillow in there, a blankie & their toys. There is plenty of room. A small would work, I just wanted to give them enough room to play on long drives. Hope that helps?

I'm sure a medium would be fine. My poodle is at 17 lbs. and I have a small aerodawg. It works perfectly. It only has to cover the snout.

I have an Australian Shepard mix, he is a medium dog. So I bought the long hair/medium size. And it works really well. For you I think large/ long hair would be perfect.

I started with a small for my German Shepherd puppy. She was 10 weeks. A small should work for about 4-5 months.

I would suggest a medium. My dachshunds are about that weight and the medium works perfect!

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.

Just read other responses, I'd check the Cesar Millan site as suggested. That is how I decided. My smaller dog who wears the small is short haired. My medium size one has long hair & a much gentler personality. He is more into the Medium size per fitting info but I think he could wear a small.

Judging from the size of my dogs, I probably would go with the size small. My 25 pound terrier mix fits nicely in the medium. Hope that helps.

I would go with small, medium would be WAY to big. I have a Pom/ Havanese mix he is about 9.5 pounds and the medium is WAY to big, but the small is way to tight.

I ordered a small for our dog... she is an 11 lb cavalier... it fits her well but might be a little small for 18 lbs...

I would recomend Large. My dog had a 19' neck and the large fit great with room to grow. They are really nice collars.Hope this helps!

I'm thinking the medium. We have the small and it is almost too big for our tween dachshund.

I would go up in size. I have mini-schnauzers. Works great for them, but a bigger dog, I think, would need bit more space. The length is ok, but the width could be an issue.

I think you would use a small. The med fit my standard dachshund. He is narrow but has a deep chest and goes 29 lbs

My miniature dachshund weighs 10 lbs. and gets the mini-size which are about 2.5 inches long. You could probably go up a size (you get more for the money with the larger size).

If your dog is not likely to be growing into a thicker neck, I would think (but can't be certain) that the small, which claims to go up to 12" and is only 3/4" wide might be the better choice. Otherwise you will have a lot of extra loop hanging down (which dog could get caught on). I have only had experience with the 1" wide large & medium collars. Good luck to you and your canine pal!
