The tape alone will not settle it. A deep-chested dog — a Labrador, a Boxer, a Rhodesian cross — carries that girth over a barrel ribcage and wants the longer webbing of the large, which sits lower and further back. A leggy, shallow-bodied dog of the same girth, a lurcher or a Collie, does better in the medium, where the straps run shorter and there is less to gather in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second question is headroom. At 63cm the medium is near the top of its range and the large is near the bottom of a 25cm span, so the large keeps something in reserve for a winter coat or a dog still filling out. Poly-weave webbing, soft air-mesh lining, one reflective band, in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits a 60–85cm chest girth — a 25cm adjustment span, the widest below the XL.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverlaps the medium at 60–65cm, so a deep-chested dog at that girth can take the roomier shell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable poly-weave webbing with soft air-mesh fabric for breathability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully adjustable at the neck and the girth for a secure and comfortable fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncol say the design distributes pressure evenly for improved control and support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective band for increased visibility in low light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs measuring 60–85cm around the chest, just behind the front legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabradors, Boxers, GSDs, Weimaraners and similar deep-chested builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs measuring 60–65cm that are deep through the ribcage, thick-coated or still growing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday walking, and car journeys used with a separate vehicle tether.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA shallow-bodied, fully grown dog at 60–65cm is neater in the Ancol Viva Exercise \u0026amp; Travel Dog Harness Black M 45-65cm; over 85cm, use the black XL, 80-120cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure round the deepest part of the chest, just behind the front legs, and note whether the figure lands in the 60–65cm overlap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf it does, judge by depth of chest and by how much growing or coat is still to come.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFasten the girth strap behind the elbows with the chest panel over the breastbone, then close the neck opening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjust until two fingers slide flat under the webbing, and no more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor car use, clip a separate tether such as Ancol's ISOfix Seatbelt, item 741600, to the harness.
