Go to the Video Gallery for detailed measuring and adjusting videos.
The AKC (American Kennel Club) currently recognizes 200 breeds of dogs; that does not include the number of non-recognized breeds or mixed breeds. Because of the wide size diversity in dog breeds, we offer 25 fully adjustable sizes to ensure each dog gets the perfect fit.
Other Harnesses are offered in 5-6 sizes, and no matter how adjustable, they do not fit the wide range of height, width, and length combinations. Poor sizing leaves dogs uncomfortable, which can cause rub spots or dogs backing out of the harness.
We have provided information below, both written and in video, to help you with fitting our dog harnesses, as well as understanding how to properly use them.
Section 1 is How to Measure.

How to Measure
ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR MEASUREMENTS, SEE "DOG HARNESS SIZE CHART" (further below) TO FIND YOUR FIT
If you're not sure how to measure a dog for our harness click on the "Video Gallery" in the menu. You can also use the "Let Us Choose the Correct Size Harness" form, just Click Here
If your dog is a trim, active dog, narrow bodied, or longer than tall, the Lucy Fit is the right option. If you have a bully breed with a shorter ribcage or a heavy bodied dog, then the Original Fit will work best. Please remember the harness is designed to fit loose on the dog. If the harness is too tight it will not work properly and it will cause the dog to be uncomfortable.
Take into account the dogs coat: for heavy coated dogs, measure over the top of the coat; the harness will need to float on top of the coat. If you are at the end of a size range then go up to the next size. If you are not sure what size to buy you can always chat or message us. Send a picture of your dog from the side with height, weight and age, and we will be happy to help you with fitting a dog harness properly.
