Harness size by weight

Buy a harness for the puppy you have today, not the dog it will be: an adult harness slips on a puppy. Pupsize reads today's size from the chart below, then follows your puppy's growth pattern to say about when it will move up a size.

Weight todayTypical sizeChest
Up to 5 lbXXS9 to 13 inches
5 to 10 lbXS13 to 18 inches
10 to 25 lbS17 to 22 inches

Measure to confirm

Sizes differ from one maker to the next. Wrap a soft tape around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs, and check the number against the maker's own chart. An adjustable harness covers a few weeks of growth.
