My Bichon is hot in his harness. Is this vest a good summer substitute for him?

We have a dachshound, she doesn't seem to mind. It's a good sturdy harness !

The Puppia vest does run large..so if your pooch is between sizes, go for the smaller size. This vest is super comfortable, I'm so glad I got it for my dog.

This vest is adjustable and I got it for a 9 pound Maltese who can't swim. I got the small, of course, but the straps to adjust are about 10 inches long, you could probably get away with the small, but you should, probably get the medium, because of his girth and adjust from there,

Use a regular collar. I even use an Easy Walk Harness with mine (underneath the vest)! LOVE this vest and so does Kody. I sewed my Service Dog patches to it as well. It is very visible and wonderful for this purpose.

with my 22 1/2 pounder I checked into dog harnesses, they don't have the velcro security I feel I have with the ones made for cats, if you can find one made like the kitty holster instead of just straps, measure girth and neck size and go to a pet store and see if they carry the vest type, usually all they have is for little tiny dog.

I would say No. Not comfortably. My dog is 5 pounds and he has little room to rotate. 10 pounds, max. Also, experiences from our hikes, the padding is heavy quilt and no air circulation so, on hot days your pet will overheat. I have been wrapping a gel icepack at the bottom to keep him cool.

I have a 15 pound Bichon, and I ordered a size 'small', which works well......but he is pretty short, so that may be why the small worked for him. And actually, it just fit...so probably a medium would give you more option for adjustment..

Although he's pretty good at adjusting his speed, our 75# boxer can haul like an 18 wheeler if he sees a squirrel, rabbit or deer! I know I wouldn't be able to control him w/o this harness which places the pressure on his chest instead of his neck ( which is all muscle). It's really the best harness we have ( and I have several) .i would certainly recommend you try it. It won't change his habit of pulling w/o training but it should give you more control.

Not at all. It is a harness just like they put on dogs, but small. Our bunny loved it! Or at least loved being out and about!!

I have a pug that weighs about 22 pounds and he wears a small. I would think an extra small would be better for your dog.

Get the large vest. We got the x-large and it's to big for our lab who weighs 90lbs.

This is a quality harness and is very well built. The harness runs a little on the large size. My best suggestion is to measure the dogs chest at the widest spot and then find a harness size that fits into those measurements. (Your dog will love the extra attention you give him while measuring his chest also.)

Hello, It is tough to say without the girth measurement. I think the large will work for a long time but he could out grow it. However, the X-Large might not fit right now and he will have to grow into it. If you measure his girth and let me know I'll be able to better fit him into the right vest. Regards, Doggie Stylz

Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. My dog never had the opportunity to use her vest. She became ill shortly after I purchased it.

Absolutely! We used ours at home & up at our ranch (while our pup was small). I would suggest having a towel to drape over top as it it netting & sun beating down on top might get pretty warm. Have fun!

I think a med might work best for your dog. Our dog is a beagle and approx 25lbs. He needs a diet but the straps allow for you to snug down if needed. Truly is a great vest...

The product will fit him well enought. But if I were you I'd get him a plate carrier. This vest tends to fall apart
