barkOutfitters Service Dog Vest Harness - Light Weight But Durable - Available in 4 Sizes - M (24" - 29" Girth)

After reading several reviews stating that these vests run small, I ordered the larger of the two size ranges my 36lb Pocket Pitbull (24.5" chest girth) fell into (the 23"-31" size). Well, she definitely did NOT need the larger size. She was swimming in it until I tightened the straps almost as far as they would go. I'm going to keep the larger size since there's no harm in it being a little bigger (more room for her sweater in the winter) but the sizing was 100% accurate.For comparison, we loosened the straps and tried it on our 70lb German Shepherd (31" chest girth) and it fit him just fine--although it did LOOK better on the Pitbull (it looked quite dainty on the Shepherd). Simply put, measure your dog's chest girth and choose the corresponding size. There's no need to size up.As for the quality, it looks and feels well made.

The article description matches this vest perfectly. The Vest is lightweight, and sturdy, and seems to sit quite comfortably on my tiny Cocker Spaniel.I was a bit thrown off by the many customer reviews that claimed that the vest was too small, so I purchased a size M (21" - 27"), for my 20lb Cocker who is exactly 22" chest girth. To my surprise I felt that this vest was rather big, I had to adjust the straps to the smallest size possible so it would not move and rub around, so if you have a dog with 21" chest girth I'd rather go for a size S.The vest is bright red with a reflective border, so your pup will be easily visible. Another plus is that it is quite water proof (which is a relief since it rains a lot where we live), so the vest won't be soaked when you come home from a rainy day, and neither will be your dog.The "Service Dog" patches seem quite good quality and are easily removable and quite visible, they are about 3/4"x2 3/4" which unfortunately I didn't know before purchasing, so I bought a wrong sized patch (I wanted to use an "Emotional Support Dog" patch). The Patches I ordered are about 1"x 5 1/2" which is a bit too big, but they still stick well. Still, I recommend not to buy patches over 1 1/2"x 4" should you want to use a different patch from the included "Service Dog" patches.

We needed a new vest for my partner's service dog, and came across this one.There is no official vest for service dogs, so we are always on the lookout for ones that look official, and this one definitely does—a good vest minimizes conflict while you're out and about! We have a hard time keeping him cool during the summer, so this vest also has the added bonus of being about as lightweight as we've seen (and removable patches!)We found it to be true to size. He is a 50lb Goldendoodle, and is very narrow across the chest/shoulders, but still has a pretty deep chest. He is 27" girth, so we bought him the 24"-31" girth size. Has room to be tightened and loosened, which will be nice for the winter when his coat is grown out.Only tiny complaint we have is that it seems to be made for dogs with slightly shorter bodies, at times the vest looks a tad puny on him. Like if his body was about five inches shorter it would be perfect. Curious as to whether getting a size up would increase the actual saddle size.

This is a small vest. It fits my 20 lb mini aussie and my 20 boston terrier well. Both very different body types but the adjustable straps under the belt and around the chest give a bit of flexibility on body type. I would say it's not a very solid harness but if you have a service dog then you should have no problem because they shouldn't pull. In traffic or on busy streets where there are lots cars to be safe I do switch the lead to the collar for absolute safety because I'm not sure she wouldnt slip out of the harnes in an emergency. But that's just me. The harness functions great for its purpose. Also as a dog groomer Iwas worried about her coat. This does not rub or cause issues matting/breaking/itching my aussies coat when she has to wear it all day while we are airport and traveling. I have not had my boston wear it long periods of time so I'm not sure with under arm rubbing on short hair coats. She has just tried it on for size comparison.
