I've noticed a lot of people mention their dog not being able to lay down with very much room in a medium and their dogs seem to be quite small. My dog weigh almost 9lbs and I was going to order the medium but now I'm considering ordering the large...

When in doubt order the larger one. My dog was only a couple of pounds when I bought it. Now she is about 6 pounds and just about makes it. Make sure you can position it. I brace it in between the seats in front and I have a larger bed for my other dogs (I have 4 small ones) that braces it as well. It works well for me the way I have it. Hope this helps, Judy

I can relate to your question, we have had the same problem. Our dog is 12 pounds and 12 inches long. We bought the medium size and it fits perfect. These are nice because they have elastic by the top end of the legs (close to the hip area), this helps them to fit better. I think you will be happy with this product.

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!

My little Shihtzus each weigh 9 lbs and the Medium fits them. I would measure the "girth" of your dog before ordering. Hope this is a help.

My 5 small dogs range from 9 lbs to 21 lbs.. The small was way too big for the 9#, the medium was ok for the rest of them, but too short in the length to the tail for the 21 lb. Ordered the large for the 21# and it was HUGE! I ended up altering the small slicker for the 9# and altered the large one for the 21#......I recommend if your pet is at the higher end of the range for a particular size, I suggest you order the next larger size. If the slicker is not long enough to cover the pets back, what good is it? I like the material and the quality. But the sizing can be tricky. The sizes are for the length and girth of the pet, not the lbs. Hope this helps. My 5 small dogs range from 9 lbs to 21 lbs..

My dog is 28 lbs. The medium fits good on her. My sisters dog I ordered a large and it didn't fit because I went by measurement guide to order. I feel that the lbs. chart is more accurate.

Just measured ours. Looks like the medium, pictured above, is correctly measured. Ours is about the same size as yours on the bottom which makes it a small. Its interior is a perfect fit for our Shih Tzu, all 11 pounds of him, and he loves riding in it.....in comfort and style. This was a great investment and it keeps him safe and happy.

I am not sure how big a Bichon is compared to a pug, but I ordered a small for our pug and if I had to do it again I would order a medium.

Hi! Sorry? Just saw this from yesterday right now. I got it large for my 34 pound mixed breed, and I wouldn't get it any smaller. So, definitely go with the large? Also, I actually looked at a YouTube because I couldn't figure out how to put it on.mi'm not stupid, just too impatient to read directions so I exhaust myself! Lol. It's a great thing. She walks so much better! Good luck!

I have a mini Australian Shepherd and she is 40 pounds. I purchased a medium. I think it still might be a tad large. Her girth (widest/thickest part of rib cage, front) is about 24". I'm wondering if the large would be much too large for your dog. medium seems about right, in my best opinion.

Get a large. Then post the pic for us all to enjoy! The medium is too small for our 20-lb border terrier.

We bought a large for our 60lb German shorthair pointer. Enough room for him to lay comfortably. But difficult for him to sit up. We just use ours for the car to keep him enclosed, and it's really nice! Either size you decide on, you'll really like the product overall.

I got the large, and it is a good size for both of my dogs (55 lbs and 50 lbs). However, even though it is a good size for my smaller dog he seems to prefer carrying around the medium size better, but I think that is just his personal perseverance.

My boxer is about 58lbs and when she lies in the large size it seems too big, so I am getting her a medium. But if your dog likes lots of room I would stick to the large.

Our beagles fit great into a medium. Our male is 40 pounds and our female is 36 pounds. They're a great product and the dogs don't mind wearing them at all. So they must be comfortable.

My dog weighs 65 lb. so I needed to get the large bed. Your dog will be just as happy with a smaller one. I don't remember if it comes in smaller sizes. I do like the construction of the bed I got. and hope you will find one that suits your dog.
