I would try to order the large first--as the coat appears to run large. I have a medium o. My 65 lb PWD and I have plenty of room to adjust. Frankly I have used most of what is out there and this seems to be the best--however that I so Lu my opinion!

I purchased a large for my 28lbs. Boston Terrier (yes, big for a Boston); it was way to big for him. He has a large rib cage for a medium size dog, hence we decided to go up in size. This way a mistake, as the jacket seems to run true to size.

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.

I would do the XL because you appear to be between sizes (L & XL). My GSD is also a 25 measurement and I buy him mostly XL.

I got the XXL for my 160 lb Great Dane. Had to add fabric to fit. So L for a normal lean lab I should think.

No, the XL just fit my B Lab that weighs about 50 lbs. I really like the ZenDog better then the others because it has a good fit. Even though it is a struggle to get it over their heads and feet in, it has the consistent snug. The wrap ones do not seem to get that snug consistently as one has to really work to get it wrapped around them.

Hi Lauren, It doesn't go by the weight of the dog. You have to measure your pug at three places: Neck, Back and Bust (Chest). Then see which size would be the best. My dog is a bit busty, so that was the most important measurement for me. I hope this helps!S(Neck:22cm, Back:19cm, Bust:32cm)M(Neck:25cm, Back:24cm, Bust:36cm)L(Neck:30cm, Back:29cm, Bust:40cm)XL(Neck:33cm, Back:34cm, Bust:45cm)XXL(Neck:36cm, Back:35cm, Bust:47cm)

If I remember correctly malamutes aren't broadchested, right? I got my 80 lb lab mix a large and I've got 2 1/2 nearly 3 inches until I can't loosen it anymore. The large should suffice, but if she has a larger neck then I would consider an xl

The XL fit my 80 lb lab well. she is tall but not fat and there was a lot of room for adjustment on her. I needed the XL for the length. The size chart on the label indicates Extra Large is for 31"-42" girth and 70-90 lbs. Even if it fit your dog, I would be more concerned that there may not be enough buoyancy material to compensate for the extra weight.

Get the large vest. We got the x-large and it's to big for our lab who weighs 90lbs.

I see your dilemma. I have a dachshund. She has a 19 inch chest and she fits a medium. With an 1 1/2 inches to spare. I tried the large at smallest setting and it was too big.

Linda, I purchased a large for my 38 lb corgi who has a large neck. It was roomy it since you tighten with your own color inside, it is very forgiving. If your dog has a think neck, I'd go for the large.

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.

I have a 57lb boxer mix and he needed a Large. I think this runs small, but there are 2 straps that are adjustable on the backpack, which I did need to shorten up to the smaller end for my dog. You may be okay with the large for your dog at 83lbs since I would think the XL would be for a dog the size of a Newfie or large lab. I hope this helps.

Hi our dog is about 45 to 50 lbs. I ordered the large because she is very big around her chest and stomach. It was a good size for her. I think you should go with the XL!! I hope I was helpful? Happy New Year!

Look at ruffwear site or call them. But my dog is 47 pounds and wears a small so 50 prob wouldn't make a difference. You just need to measure for the fit. Ruffwear has measuring info on their site. I've found my dog to be a small across many of their coat types. But she's a border collie lab mix so her torso is a lot thinner than a pure lab. Just measure to be safe.

Hello, It is tough to say without the girth measurement. I think the large will work for a long time but he could out grow it. However, the X-Large might not fit right now and he will have to grow into it. If you measure his girth and let me know I'll be able to better fit him into the right vest.Regards,Doggie Stylz
