Measuring for a Dog Harness
We size Dog Harnesses by the Girth Measurement of a dog.
Don't just try to guess by breed type - there's lots of variation in sizes of individual dogs, so a Girth Measurement will get the right size harness first time.
Check the picture below to see where the "Girth Measurement" should be taken.
Use a soft tape measure.
Place the tape measure around your dog's body, just behind the front legs.
Pull it to be a tight, snug fit and read off the measurement.
Now check the chart below, to select the correct size.
| Dog Harness Size | Min (cm) | Max (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 39 (cm) | 53 (cm) |
| Medium | 51 (cm) | 73 (cm) |
| Large | 70 (cm) | 100 (cm) |
| Dog Harness Size | Min (inches) | Max (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 15½ (Inches) | 21 (Inches) |
| Medium | 20 (Inches) | 29 (Inches) |
| Large | 27½ (Inches) | 39½ (Inches) |
Dog Harnesses - Medium - 20mm (collar) 25mm (girth) wide webbing straps - adjustable for a girth from 51cm to 73cm
The "Step-In" style harness is extremely easy to fit, fully adjustable, comfortable and strong.
Can be used for walking - particularly useful for dogs with neck, or throat issues.
Can be used in a car to restrict a dog moving around and becomming a distraction to the driver.
When combined with Black Dog's Car Strap (sold separately), the Dog Harness will hold a dog steady even under emergency braking from a high speed, but it is NOT INTENDED as a dog's "safety belt", as most harnesses will fail under the extreme forces generated in a car crash.
The Harness clips together with just one small buckle, yet is extremely secure when clipped to a Lead for walking, or in a car with the Car Strap.
