What size for my dog?

Almost every gear mistake is a sizing mistake. Set your dog's weight and build, and get the size class to shop in for a harness, crate, bed, and toys — plus the treat-calorie budget that keeps the trainer's pouch honest.

Size class

Extra small · 11 lbs

Daily treat budget: about 35 calories (the common ≤10%-of-diet guideline — your vet's number wins).

Harness size

XS in most brands (verify: chest girth typically 12–16 in)

Harness picks →

Crate size

18–22" crate — 24" for the leggier end

Crate picks →

Bed size

Small (~20–24" bed, 23" donut)

Bed picks →

Toy sizing

Small / XS sizes only — large toys won't engage small jaws

Toy picks →

Approximations for shopping, not veterinary advice. Brand size charts always win over letter sizes, and your vet's guidance always wins on calories and joint health.

Then verify with a tape measure

Weight puts you in the right aisle; a soft tape measure buys the right item. The three numbers worth writing down: chest girth at the widest point behind the front legs (harness size), length from nose to base of tail plus a few inches (bed and crate), and standing height at the head (crate). Brand size charts beat letter sizes every time — especially for long, low, and deep-chested dogs.

From there, the fitting guides go deeper: harness fitting, crate sizing, and the long-backed dog home setup.
