A pup measuring 36cm has almost the whole range left to let out, which is usually a year of wear; one already measuring 44cm has a few weeks. So with a young dog, buy on where the measurement sits in the band, not just on whether it fits today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere a pup is close to the top of the small range, it is generally better to go to the medium and start it wound in, since a harness set near the end of its adjustment leaves nothing in reserve. This is the only purple Viva harness we hold in small, and purple is one of the six colours Ancol make the range in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjusts across a 35–45cm chest girth, so there is real headroom for a dog still filling out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully adjustable for a secure and comfortable fit at both the neck and the girth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable poly-weave webbing with soft air-mesh fabric — forgiving on a young dog's skin.\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\u003eSmall dogs and growing pups measuring 35–45cm around the chest behind the front legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dog nearer 35–38cm, where most of the adjustment is still to come.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday walking, and car journeys used with a separate vehicle tether.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who would rather re-measure monthly than replace a harness twice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pup already at 43–45cm and still growing is better in a medium — we hold the Ancol Viva Exercise \u0026amp; Travel Dog Harness Black M 45-65cm and the blue and red mediums, which adjust down to 45cm.\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 where the figure sits in the 35–45cm band.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit the girth strap close behind the elbows, then close the neck opening down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave two fingers' clearance flat under the webbing, no more, and no less.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-measure a growing dog every three or four weeks and let the straps out before they start to mark the coat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor car journeys, clip a separate tether such as Ancol's ISOfix Seatbelt, item 741600, to the harness.
