Take a tape around the deepest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs, and pull it snug rather than tight. Neck size and breed labels are no help here — two dogs of the same weight can be 8cm apart through the chest, and it is the chest figure the buckles work against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnywhere inside that band the harness adjusts to fit, so a 35cm dog and a 45cm dog end up in the same shell with the straps taken in or let out. Ancol build it from poly-weave webbing with soft air-mesh where it lies against the coat, and fit a reflective band.
