What size is my dog by weight?

I found a really helpful reference that provides a size chart for dogs based on their weight and chest circumference. It’s super useful when trying to find the right size for your pup. Let me share the chart with you!

According to the chart, there are four sizes available: small (s), medium (m), large (l), and extra large (xl). The weight range for the small size is between 10 to 20 pounds, with a recommended chest circumference of 16 to 18 inches. If your dog falls within this range, then the small size would be a perfect fit.

Moving on to the medium size, it is designed for dogs weighing between 20 to 35 pounds and has a chest circumference of 18 to 22 inches. So, if your furry friend falls within this weight range, make sure to measure their chest circumference to determine if the medium size is the right choice.

For larger dogs, the large size is ideal. It is suitable for dogs weighing between 35 to 50 pounds and has a recommended chest circumference of 22 to 26 inches. Finally, the extra large size is perfect for dogs weighing between 50 to 65 pounds, with a chest circumference ranging from 26 to 32 inches.

Remember, it’s important to measure your dog’s weight and chest circumference accurately to ensure you choose the right size for them. This size chart provides a helpful guideline to help you find the perfect fit for your furry companion.
