I ordered the small size going by the size chart on the product page, which fitted my dog around her belly ok but the neck strap was too short and her head wouldn't go thru once it was fastened, so I sent it back and ordered the next size up - Medium. I would say the Medium is the same size as the more famous brand's size S-Mini.
It fits her perfectly and the chest strap folds over so the end almost meets the other side, making it extremely secure, as she does lunge at times, so I'm confident it won't come apart. There is the recommended 4 finger width gap between her armpit and the belly strap, so the strap won't rub her skin, and my hand slips under the saddle area comfortably as recommended.
I can't praise the quality of this harness enough. I compared it to my friends Julius harness and to be honest you can't really tell them apart, and the quality is exactly the same in fact I think this one is better! And what a price! Under £15 so less than half the price of the more famous brand. Coming with the Service Dog labels was an added bonus, I am now looking for some Assistance Dog labels as that's what she is, there is a difference (Google it).
All the rings on the harness and coated steel and the stitches on all area's is strong and neat with no stray ends or slipped stitches. Believe me I've checked this over for any faults and can't find any. I bought a matching padded colour and a new orange lead and both those products from other sellers on Amazon match this harness perfectly in colour and style as you can see from the photos.
I would definitely recommend this harness but would say go up a size as they do come up a little on the small size. If you, like me, can't really afford the famous brand IDC harness this is identical and I doubt anyone could tell the difference. The IDC harness is an improved design with a more sloping chest strap and this harness has that same design improvement, even the handle on the top of the harness is brilliant quality and strongly stitched. This harness will give me years of service!
I'm so pleased and Dora loves it too and feels comfy in it which is the important thing. So don't hesitate if you are thinking of ordering one.
Dora is a Jack Russell cross Dachshund so a little difficult to get coats and jackets to fit, as she's like a
stretched tubular JR and she weighs around 10Kg. Her vital statistics are Belly: 21" - Neck 12" and her hobbies are rabbit pot holing and chasing tractors. Oops sorry thought I was writing a Miss Pooch profile lol
