Concerned about the opening size, I have a 55 pound Pitbull/American bulldog mix. Does anyone have a smiliar sized dog, does the 48oz work well?

I was sent this question to see if I could answer it for you after purchasing the 24 oz bowl (by mistake) The 24 oz bowl would only be big enough for a small breed dog. Your asking about something twice its size but own a bull dog mix. I would say say probably yes, unless your dog has issues drinking from something close around his/her face. The 24 oz bowl was soooooo small! Hope this helps :(

I have a German Shepard with a long snout and a smaller version of this, because she only drinks smaller amounts of water at a time while hiking. The flexibility of the bowl allows for her to access the water fairly easy, as you can hold it for them and the material lets the water lay in the bowl in such a way that she wastes very little. I would say this size would be good if your dog will drink a lot and with a shorter nose there should be no issue regarding the accessibility to the water. You just may have to hold the bowl so all the water collects in a corner when it gets low. I really like it. Easy to carry; compact.

I have a 55 lb. shepherd/husky mix and this bowl hold enough water for her to get a really good drink and then some. I also like that when you put water in, the bowl sits perfectly and does not have a big tip factor.

I have a large weimaranier and the opening size is fine, this is a good product really well made. I used for hiking its a real good deal.

It depends on the term large. I have Great Danes and my opening is 13.5 x 24.5. This works fine for me. I hope this helps. The opening you may have to research Pet Safes web site to get the exact match. I hope this helps.

X-Large is a misnomer. Its a perfect size for my larger-than average beagle. I'm pretty sure that for a dobie it would be tight. But if you can get him or her to stand, take a measure from top of shoulders to bottom of rib cage (i.e. vertical height of torso) and I will give you the overall measure of door opening. You might want to take a maximium side-to-side measure of his/her torso, as well.

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.

yes, your size is fine. Ours was a 55 lb retriever and it was a bit too small.

In my opinion this collar would be a little much for a 5 lb dog. My dog is a 50 lb pitbull and it fits her pretty good. My recommendation would be to contact PetSafe to see if they have a smaller one for your doggie. I hope this helps.

My dog isn't full grown yet, but it is supposed to. I have my Pitt in the smaller one and have not had a problem.

You should have no problem I have the next size larger for my 75 pound pitbull and he fits in there no problem so you should be good

I have the Road Refresher model and it works really well. The smallest part of the opening is 4.5 in/11.5 cm. My dog is a large Lab and it has no problem at all with the opening size. I initially ordered a small size (by mistake) and though the dog used it, I was unhappy with the small size. Get the Road Refresher.

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.

I bought a large for my 60 lb. American Bulldog. I'm not sure if that helps but it had plenty room. If it were me I would get a medium to be safe.

I have three Shih tzu.the biggest 16 lbs.right now it's on the second to last setting.Im pretty sure the top last setting will be fine for bigger dogs.you can probably figure something out to mount another bottle on the back,if needed.additional bottles can be purchased at your local pet store,but they tend to drip.

I bought the Large/Tall. The opening in 10X15. I have a lab, super tall and about 75lbs. He fits through with ease.

I would say "no". My Doberman/lab mix is only 65 lbs, and I want him to stretch out as he grows. I got him when he was a tiny puppy and first bought the 36" version and before he was 5 months old, he had already out grew it and had to buy him the 42" version. I tend to upgrade when the top of his head can touch the top of the kennel. Now it is time to buy the 48" version unfortunately. I hadn't planned on this dog getting so big! If you haven't already purchased this, I recommend you go with the 48".

I have a 45lb American Pit Bull and the large fits her. Since bully breeds can sometimes have wide chests, I measured my dog's chest girth, neck, and back then went to the Outward Hound website to look at the sizing chart to find the best size. The website says the chest girth is the most important probably because the chest straps have the least room for adjustment. Good luck! It's a great backpack :-) http://www.myoutwardhound.com/2490.html

Hey the 40 inch which I think I bought is good for my puppy now she 4month lab but when she gets bigger it may be small so for a sm to med dog it's perfect but when my pup gets bigger ill buy her a bigger one. Large dog may be uncomfortable a bigger size would be perfect so I double checked I got the 40 inch and it isn't what it looks like on photo same color and kid but it is smaller

I have a medium (which holds 55-60 ounces of water) and it works pretty well for my two lab mixes. My larger dog is about 65 pounds and his front paws are about 3.5 inches wide. His paws fit in the opening, but just barely. The medium is a good size because it isn't too heavy. That said, it isn't deep enough to get the dirt on my dogs' lower legs. If your dog is active and likes to slide in the dirt, you may want to get the large.
