What size is my dog by weight?

I recently came across a handy reference chart that provides information about the size, weight, and chest circumference for different dog sizes. It’s useful for anyone who wants to ensure they have the right measurement for their furry friend.

According to the chart, there are four size categories: small (s), medium (m), large (l), and extra-large (xl). For the small size, the weight typically ranges from 10 to 20 lbs, with a chest circumference of 16-18 inches. Moving on to medium-sized dogs, they usually weigh between 20 and 35 lbs, with a chest circumference of 18-22 inches. Larger dogs in the large category weigh around 35-50 lbs, and their chest circumference measures 22-26 inches. Lastly, extra-large dogs can weigh between 50 and 65 lbs, with a chest circumference ranging from 26 to 32 inches.

Having these measurements at your fingertips can be incredibly helpful when in doubt about the right size of a harness, coat, or any other item you plan to purchase for your dog. By referring to this chart, you can easily find the appropriate size for your furry friend based on their weight and chest circumference. It’s always better to have accurate measurements to ensure your dog’s comfort and well-being.
