My golden is 89lbs. but is 16yrs. and has about a 32in. chest. Which size would you recommend?

My dog is 67 lbs now (started at 80 lbs.), 8 years old with a chest of about 30 to 32 in. He is a Husky mix, and has very thick fur. I bought the large one that was labeled 70 lbs. to 130 lbs. and we have it adjusted down now as far as it will go. I think I would go with the large. It takes a little bit to figure out how to adjust the harness, and you really need two people unless your dog is really well trained to stand and let you put it on him. He has had it on pretty much continuously since April, and has no problems with it chafing him anywhere. It has been an answer to prayer for him. Hope it works as well for your dog.

We have an 89 lb. English Pointer (14 Years Old) with a large barrell chest. We used a large, it gives you plenty of room for adjustments (larger or smaller); fits him fine. A tip on the "leg straps"; we tuck the ends under the metal handle-loops, keeps them out of the way (and clean) when he poos. Hope this helps. Good luck.

My Australian Shepherd is 94 lbs and I went with the large which after a little adjusting the first time, works fine. Best of luck to you and your pup.

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 has about the same size chest and weight, "large" was fine. You will need to adjust it to the exact fit the first time you use it.

I can't recommend this product at all. It did not work and was not safe as the clips, when using the harness to lift the dog's weight, did not hold. You are better off using a towel or finding another product. I ordered a large for my 85 pound shepherd. I think it was probably a bit too big, but proceed with caution. Sorry, that's the best I can tell you.

Out doggie is about the same size,we bought the large one,works well and I would recommend it for any dog which has trouble walking

Sorry to be so long answering. I think you would need the large size. I see it is on sale now, so might be a good time to try it. Some people seemed to find it quite helpful. And I am sure as most dog lovers, we are willing to try anything to help our best friends!

To be conpletley honest if there is a next size up get it. The one I got my dog who is a golden weighed 76lbs when I got it and it fit but he has had to be house bound due to surgery and now weighs 105lbs (he gained a ton of weight :-) and the harness is pretty snug on his underneath

I have a 17 lb Jack Russell and he uses a medium. Mostly for the length and girth of his chest. :)

I'm not sure. My sister's golden lab is 93# and her girth is large and it fits fine. Hope this helps!

I got this for my 15 year old golden & we love it. Now she gets to come with us on walks. I highly recommend it. I think it would work great for what your dog needs. Make sure you order the size you need. It wasn't easy to find the size when we ordered ours - it took some looking.

I would recommend a large. Our golden pup wore a medium when he weighed about 35-40 lb

We have a golden retriever who weighs over 100. We bought him the XL which fit fine with a bit of room to spare. However, the clasp that holds the front together broke when we first buckled it. It seem to be made of a rather flimsy material. The other clasps were fine. We returned the product and bought a K9 which was considerable more expensive but very sturdy. Hope this helps. I think a large would be fine for 55 lbs. You might even be able to do a medium.

If its very deep chested I might recommend xl if its not to deep then maybe large. I have a 72 lb American bull dog mix and large is good for him but his chest is not very wide for a bully breed and not deep at all ... Really it's all about the chest as the pack its self fit him in a medium but the chest strap was to tight.

While the straps can be lengthened to fit, I would recommend you buy a large. To be certain, measure his chest. My 45 lb sheepdog has a 27 inch chest and a large fits him just fine. If yours will be growing to 65 lbs, you might want to either look at an extra large now, or buy one when he outgrows the large. Heck, for less than $20 it would be worth getting both as needed. Check the listing where it says what chest sizes go with which jacket for more information. (Click on "Large" then "Extra Large" and read the description that pops up below each.)

Medium seems good for my 76 pound golden retriever. I'd go smaller for a cockapoo.

I bought the large for my 70 pound boxer. It fits him nicely around the chest, but is a little long on him. Hope this helps!

One of my shih tzu's measures 16 and one measures 15.5 inches around the chest. The large is adjustable for both and fits well.

I went with the manufacturer's size requirements based on the weight. Small goes to 25 lbs - medium 26 to 40 lbs. I have a large dog (84 pounds) and the XL seems to fit fine. There was enough room in the chest area to expand to a stocky dog. Hopes this helps.

I have the super large. My 100lb newfie and 75lb golden both use this all the time. Depending on how big your golden is the extra large may be a better choice to save on heat.

there is a size chart on this page. measure your dog's chest and match it with that chart.

I purchased a Large for my 65 and 75 pound pitts. There is plenty of room for adjustment on both dogs to increase in size.I could even tighten if needed.

I ordered a large for my whippet. She's above average for a female in terms of sizs , especially length. I have my doubts that an xl would be that much bigger to accomadate a golden. I could be wrong, my whippet will scrunch down to fit in the tiny bed my sister has for her tiny Italian grayhound.
