I have a 7.5lb cat with thick fur. What size harness should I get?

My cat is about 8.5 pounds with long but fine fur, and the small/medium fits her perfectly. That would probably work best for yours as well! There is also a sizing guide on the manufacturer's website: http://www.kittyholster.com/FAQs.html

I got the s/m when my cat was around that size, though he did grow out of it relatively quickly (young maine coon) if you go to the makers website they have neck and chest measurements that will help you too! there is some play as its velcro and there is a built in level of adjustment. hope that helps some

I have the large ones-- it was a little tight for 13-14 lb cat but he could turn around in large one. I have a 7 lb cat and the large one was great size for him. He had plenty of room.

I had gotten a medium- large for my cat- eight pounds or so. probably a . it would have fit but it also would have taken an army to fasten it around her neck. i returned this.

Go with a large, I bought a medium for my rather big cat and it fits very awkwardly.

Dusty,I started out with the small size when my kitten was three or four months old. She did grow, and I ended up purchasing the medium only because I wanted to make sure that the harness fit properly.Good luck. I love walking our now ten month old kitten.

Once the harness is on, i have had no issues with either of my cats. Large maine coon and a small torty. The velco holding the middle area is wide and doesnt come off easy unless you want it off. I have had to pull my cat back by the leash a couple times and have had no issues. I love these harnesses and do not regret the purchase. My cats love the walks.

I would suggest the long haired FURminator. I have two cats, one short haired and another more medium with a really thick undercoat, and I sometimes feel like I should have gotten the long to use on both.

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.

My 10 pound dog can wiggle her way out of it. I think your cat is probably more agile than my chihuahua :) Your cat may be able to squeeze out of it. Maybe a small would fit more snugly than the medium. Other than that its a really good quality harness and if properly fit its safe and seems comfortable for the pet.

My cat is appx. 10 pounds, I got the large so he'd be comfortable but it works good for his size. I think the regular may have been too small.

measure around your cat, just behind its front legs. There are charts that show the size range of the harnesses.

I would go for the medium for the long term ; my cat weight is about 9lbs. and i use the large. The harness has sliding adjustments and if your cat is still growing a medium for sure. I am happy with mine, get her used to it as soon as possible and enjoy the outdoors.

I agree with v-kat that your kitty needs to be finished growing. I have both sizes, because I have 3 cats. The larger fits my 12.5 lb and 15.4 lb cats. The smaller fits my 7lb cat. It is important to note that the piece that goes around the neck is wide...about 3 inches for the large vs. 2 inches for the smaller. The Velcro gives you about 5 inches of play to adjust the size.

I would suggest getting the large size- I have a cat that's 10 pounds, and even the large size is a little snug (but she really likes it). The large should be a good size for your dog!

Make sure you get the right one. Do the one that is 10-20lbs. My cat is only around 7lbs and that's the one we got her for to walk around in. it's huge for her. though it's perfect enough for her to stand up in and walk around

Which measurement is the most essential for this harness? My Pom is 12" at the neck and 15" girth but he is only 7 lbs? XS or S??? Thanks

I have a 20 lb Pekingese and I bought the medium harness. It was too big. I would go with the small harness.
