My 10 year old 40 pound male corgi will need 8-12 wk rehab for hind leg ACL surgery. He has always been touchy about harnesses.What size will be good?

I think you will need the medium size. My dog was 80, then down to 70 pounds during and after his two knee surgeries. We had the large harness and adjusted it down to as small as it would go. We had the front and rear sections and kept it on him all the time. He spent a lot of time in his kennel, and the handles made it easier to help him out of the kennel and down the one back step to the yard for bathroom breaks. I don't know how we would have managed without it. Well worth the money.

We use the large one on our 75 lb. 14 year old lab. We have it almost on the smallest setting, so I don't think the large would work. I think the small will work at the largest setting. Our dog was not happy with the harness at first, but she got used to it pretty fast.Hope this helps!Johnnie

I would probably get a small. Double check by measuring his chest. Having said, the hardware is pretty substantial and seems to be overkill for a dog as small as a Corgi. We dismantled our harness and used only the front portion for our 125# Rottweiler. To raise him from a down position and to help him negotiate stairs we used a sheepskin padded sling (similar to a log carrier) and that worked best. Finding a dog lifting aid for such a large dog was a challenge. For our smaller breeds we would not make the same choice. We would opt for the padded sling.

I'd recommend the Large size. My German Shepherd weighs about 70lbs and the Medium is the best fit for her. The Harness is great. I don't know what we would have done without it.

My dog is a pug/affenpinscher mix. He's 20lb and about 12" at the shoulder and his hind leg is too short. A 6-inch or maybe 5.5 might have been ok. I think these are best for longer leg dogs. Also make sure the knee is the problem, I thought it was my dog's knee and it was his hip. I just had to visit the right vet.

My Aussie is about 65 lbs and shaped like a square but not quite as extreme as a bulldog. We got a medium and its plenty big so you maybe get 1 med and 1 large- we love this harness!

Since your dog is at the max end of the size Medium, my advice is to contact Horgan Harness to discuss the size, shape of your dog for a recommendation. You can e-mail or call 954-789-9580 (9A-3P). I emailed them and got a response the next day.

I think it would be best for you to contact the seller of this harness. I no longer use the harness. Previous answer by David is excellent. Give that loving doggie a big hug and kiss for me.

I had the same problem with my dog and I went with the medium. No problems so far and the straps are generous so if you're an inch off either way it wouldn't be a big deal.

I'm sorry to hear about your Corgi. My best guess would be to go by waist size - and if the cancer might continue to grow, maybe the XXXL. The elastic around the legs and tail might help with the bunching and extra material - but at least it will fit and stay secure.

I don't see a sizing chart on Amazon, but I did find it online elsewhere. Measure your dog's girth, follow the chart and you should be set. The harness adjusts over the back, under the belly and two spots across the chest (to keep the martingale piece centered) so It seems as though the harness will fit correctly regardless of whether your dog is at the top, bottom or middle of the size range. Good luck!

I have a 40lb dog and the medium fits perfect and works perfect. Hope that helps.

I think the easy walk gives some sizes by weight. I have a 50 lb 10 month old Border Collie he is about as tall as a Lab, I think the medium size would be good if your lab is a bit on the small size. My Border Collie is on the bigger size so I bet that would work for you. Check the site and in the description there was a weight guideline I think. Good Luck you should love this harness. I won't use anything else.

the small should work fine. it'd very adjustable. also this is the only harness my wiggly little Pom can't wiggle out of and he doesn't chew it like he did with stiffer ones.

They do come in different sizes, ours is a medium. I think it would depend on the length of your dog's body and their height. The straps are adjustable so that allows for a range. The picture shown is a bit confusing because it really doesn't cover the full torso of the dog between front and rear legs, it is meant more for just the waist area. I think the only time you may have a sizing problem is if you have a long, short dog like a Corgi. I would think the medium would work more for 45 to 110 probably, depending on the breed.

My dog weighs in around 65 to 70. The x-large works great for him. However, he is an older dog with arthritis in his back legs so the aren't very beefy. He is long in the through the middle, so I decided on the X-large. Yours may even need the XX-large. I just checked his length, 28 inches from tail to shoulder, if that helps.

Well you would need to purchase size small for you dog. The small harness girth size ranges from 22 to 27 inches.

I bought it for my chihuahua who is 2.50kilos havn't used it a lot the small is still a bit big for him and very stiff. I have been told harnesses can be a hazzard for older people due to possible injury. Hopefully will fit as he grows but I don't think so as he is only going to get to about 3kilos. Sorry not much help to you.

I bought a size small for my dog who is 30 lbs. If the girth of your lab falls into the range listed it should bit. There is quite a bit of adjustability with these harnesses. I swear by mine. I would not use anything else for my dog.
