I have an 18-pound mini schnauzer. I got a medium thundershirt. It seems a bit big on her. Would a small polo thundershirt work for her?

When you order these you need to go by their weight. My dog is a Maltese and she is only 8.8 lbs and she wears a XSmall. It needs to be tight on them to work.. If a medium is to big then try a small cause you want it tight fitting.

Our Yorkie mix is 10 lbs and the small is pretty snug. It just fits her. Hope this helps.

My dog weighs about 13 lbs and she has an XS. They are meant to be very snug. That apparently is what makes them feel more secure.

I got an XS for my Yorkie. She weighs about 6lbs. You do want it very snug. I hope this helps you decide.

i think a medium would be fine, even if it is a little loose around the chest, you can adjust the neck. i have a yorkiepoo and a cavachon. the cavachon is a medium dog but wears a large and the yorkiepoo i believe is a medium or a small. Sorry I can't be absolutely sure but you could always return it if the medium doesn't adjust to your little ones's need.

I agree that the small would probably be a good choice. My dogs are around 20lbs, but were a little heavier in the past. I have to cinch a medium down about as small as it goes to fit the neck. I was afraid that something that fit a 6 lb dog, the small, might not fit mine, but the straps are long to allow for a wide range of size variation. Knowing that now, I think a small would have been fine for mine as well.

Hi- I bought an extra small for my 10 pound daschund - It is a little snug, probably a medium would work-

If I remember correctly malamutes aren't broadchested, right? I got my 80 lb lab mix a large and I've got 2 1/2 nearly 3 inches until I can't loosen it anymore. The large should suffice, but if she has a larger neck then I would consider an xl

I have a 17-20 pound Welsh terrier and the medium was a perfect fit. We originally bought a small based on the Thundershirt sizing but that was about 2 inches short on his back and too snug around his chest. Hope that helps.

I have a min. Schnauzer, weight 18b. I checked on the description when I order it. It fits perfect :)

I would go with the smaller of the two. I did the same with mine and it stretches out a bit much. I wound up going to petsmart and buying the newer version "Thundershirt Dog Anxiety Treatment". It was cheaper than online to my surprise. I still wound up buying larger than I should have, but it's not as difficult to put on, and I can adjust the fit even more in several places. But to your question. Yes go with the smaller size. And the the rest is just unsolicited free advice. :-)

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..

I would probably get the small one since it runs true to size. The medium girth is 21-27 and that's to big for a bichon. i got a lg for my bulldog and it fits but a medium would have fit snigger on him. Good luck

I have a 53 pounds bull terrier/border collie mix and the medium is just a tad loose on him. I would think a small might work better on a 19 pounds dog.

This one should work better. I had the same problem as you. I ordered the small for my mini dacshund and it was to short. So I ordered the long short and the neck width was still perfect but the snout length was much longer and prevented her from getting to her tail & back legs.

We had a similar experience. My dog was exactly between a small and a medium. We went with the medium and it worked out. I figured it was easer to tighten the pack rather then try and make it bigger.Also we love with pack! Best thing we got for our dog.

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.

My XS is perfect for my 9.5 poudd chihuahua/Hack Russell mix. The S is great for my 15 pound Shia txu, and the large works for my 54 pound Heinz 57. All 3 of my girls love their Thundershirts and give me "attitude" when I take them off to put in the washer.

My 65# Aus cattle dog/shep mix has a 30" girth, and it could have been made snugger to fit a smaller dog than her. You should be fine with a medium. However, as mentioned in my review of this product, the buckle rubbed her elbow something fierce and I had to return it. (I ended up getting a Wolfpacks Banzai dog pack and am extremely satisfied.) Good luck!
