I'd go with the large. I have a smaller dog, about 45-50 and it ran decently big, but considering she's 1/2 the size, a large might be good.

Medium. The Large is for dogs who are as large as a horse (no exaggeration).

Hi, I purchased a medium for my pitbull mix who weights about 70 pounds. It fits him perfectly, so I believe a large would suit your dog better. I use it for hiking and it works great to hold our waters!

medium for now, but he may grow a little bit more. I use mine in a 95 lb. German Sheppard. fits very nice

I have a 186lb English Mastiff and have the XL. My ex-wifes English Bulldog is only 60lbs. So splitting the differance, I would go with the medium.

Go with a large. You can always adjust it to be smaller not bigger. I have a Rottweiler and I wish I have gottan the large size.

My dog is 100lb American Bulldog and I had the same concerns of inbetween the large and medium. I went with the medium and it fits great. So I would choose the smaller of the two sizes your looking at.

From memory they do make a couple of diff sizes so you obviously would need to go for large dog. Hopefully when he grows you won't need to zap him anymore.

My dog is pretty long tall and lean and the medium was good. I think a small might be good for you unless his chest is big for his size. There is quite a bit of leeway on the straps as well.

We got the small for our Malti-tzu who is 14lbs and 17in. girth and it fits him with a little room to spare (has adjustable straps) and we got the medium for our pug who is 23lbs and 25in girth. The medium is really too long for him but because of his thick broad chest & neck we had to get a larger size (he is only 15in from his neck to tail the malti-tzu is 17). The life jacket does have a neoprene belly band that is made to fit a little snug, but does not seem uncomfortable to the dogs (it has a small margin of adjustment to it). It's a very well made life jacket and you can't beat this price anywhere. Your dogs' girth is so close to the max for the small it could probably fit a medium but keep in mind that it would be long and maybe even a little loose. However, if your dog keeps a summer haircut the small may be just fine. Hope this helped you.

Hard to answer without more information about your dog. I have two Golden Retrievers and a Labrador. My Golden male is about 65 pounds with a very lean build, and fits comfortably in a medium. My Golden female is small for the breed, about 52 pounds, and also wears a medium. My Labrador female is in between, and she wears the older-style Float Coat in a medium. I'd say the range for the medium is about 40-70 pounds or so. We previously had a larger Golden male of about 75-80 pounds, and he wore an older-style large.

Rather than by weight, your best bet would be to measure your dog neck to snout, and check out the company's sizing guide and video @ http://www.allfourpaws.com/the_comfy_cone-sizing_guidelines.php. The example breed they show for the medium size is a French bulldog, so that might likely be your dog's correct size. Hope this helps!

I think the small would be right for your pup. I have a basset hound who weighs about 50lbs and has 27.5-28 inch girth. I got the medium and it fits fine (smallest girth on medium is 28) with plenty of room to grow as he ages. It is a great harness. He pulls less. I find the handle helpful and offers great control of his excitement when small children approach and want to pet him. There is a video at the manufacturers' website that shows you how to measure. http://www.dtdogcollars.com/DT-Harness-High-quality-Nylon-Dog-Harness-p/dth6.htm

Its really all about weight. This is probably pretty close to allow for some growth. We bought the medium for our sons 11th birthday and he's about 80 lbs. the zap web site has some guidelines on sizing as well.

We just checked our Medium harness on two other Goldens we have. One is about 75 lbs but very sleek and narrow around the waist. The other is about 82 lbs and though he isn't fat, he is very stout. Around the waist, the sleek one is 24" and the blocky one is 29". There is a clip on the harness that secures it around the waist. At the max extension (it is slightly adjustable) it isn't quite big enough for the bigger boy but it fits just fine for the skinny one. So I would measure around the waist and check, if your dog is more than 28" around the waist, I would go to another vendor and get a large, or an XL. You could have a 110 lb Greyhound that it (a medium) would fit and a 82 lb Golden that it wouldn't. We just checked our Medium harness on two other Goldens we have.

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.

You would need to measure him, but I bought a medium for a Hairless Chinese Crested and he weighs 17 pounds. He measures 14" long from neck to the base of his tail. Hope this helps you some..

It really depends on what size around the chest he is. Our dog is 15" neck to tail and a medium is too big. She weighs 10 lbs. Try a small. These rain coats really don't fit as nice as the picture shows.

I believe that the shirt size goes by your dog's weight. Our Border Collie is about 11 pounds overweight at 54 lbs. He is 9 y/o, so mid-life spread? LOL! Anyway, my daughter bought him a Large, and it fits, but a bit loose. We believe that the Medium may have been too small, and he falls between the manufacturer's sizes. For your Border Collie - Beagle mix, I'd say to stay with a Large. These Thundershirts do seem to run a little big.

Disregard my first comment, after rereading your question I noticed the 42 pound weight. I would try a medium for your JR mix.

I have 2 Bearded Collies and I order Medium for them. One weighs 38 pounds and one weighs 45 pounds. Hope this helps.

My dog is 100 pounds [small for a Mastiff, but he was the runt of the litter] and he is comfy but roomy in the largest size. I can't say for sure about your dog, but they give crate measurements, so I would just take out a tape measure and eyeball what crate's measurements look best for your dog. I actually also measured my dog with the tape measure too. Measure him or her completely stretched out so you know the dimensions will accomodate him or her with his or her legs stretched if you intend to have him or her sleep in there. Good luck! [P.S. I got mine thru Amazon warehouse and it was a little cheaper and still came in excellent condition!] My dog is 100 pounds [small for a Mastiff, but he was the runt of the litter] and he is comfy but roomy in the largest size.
