Size guide
Finding the perfect fit is easier than it looks: all you need is a tape measure and two minutes with your pup 🐾. Here's how to measure, which harness to choose and all our size charts; if anything's still unclear, have a look at our FAQs.
How to measure your dog in 3 steps
Grab a soft (sewing) tape measure and measure your dog while they're standing calmly, not sitting or lying down.
- Neck: measure around the neck where the collar would sit, halfway between the head and the shoulders.
- Chest: measure the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs. This is the most important measurement for choosing a harness.
- Room to move: the tape should be snug but not tight; you should be able to slide two fingers underneath. Add 2-3 cm to your measurements and check them against the chart.
In between two sizes? Go by the chest measurement. If it's right on the edge, choose the larger size: our harnesses are adjustable, and it's better to tighten a little than to end up too small. Still not sure? Send us the measurements and we'll help.
Which harness should I choose?
Adjustable harness
Adjusts at the neck and chest, with a fabric outer and breathable mesh lining, plus a D-ring on the back. It's the most versatile option for growing dogs or dogs with a broad chest compared with their neck. Sizes XS to L, and the Honey Stripes and Quilted Moka designs also come in XXS for the tiniest pups. Shop adjustable harnesses.
H harness
A lighter, H-shaped design that leaves the chest more open. Ideal if your dog likes to stay cool or you prefer a minimal look. Shop H harnesses.
Please note: neither is a no-pull harness, and both are designed for small and medium dogs on relaxed walks.

- Depending on the design, one size or two widths: M (2 cm) for small dogs and L (2.5 cm) for medium dogs.
We recommend not going for the tightest fit: leave 2-3 cm of room so your pup feels super comfy and enjoys every walk.
⚠️ Our harnesses, collars and leads are designed for relaxed walks with small or medium dogs. They're not suitable for large breeds or very strong dogs.
Size guide by breed
This chart is a rough guide only: always measure your dog. Dogs of the same breed can be slimmer or stockier, and their actual chest measurement is what counts. Sizes refer to the adjustable harness.
| Breed | Suggested size (adjustable harness) |
|---|---|
| Chihuahua | XXS (larger ones, XS) |
| Yorkshire terrier | XXS or XS, in between: measure the chest |
| Toy poodle | XS (very small ones, XXS) |
| Pomeranian | XS |
| Maltese | XS |
| Miniature dachshund | XS |
| Standard dachshund | S or M, in between: measure the chest |
| Jack Russell terrier | XS or S, in between: measure the chest |
| Shih Tzu | S |
| Cockapoo | S or M, depending on the size of the cross |
| Cocker spaniel | M |
| Beagle | M (broader-chested ones, L) |
Remember that XXS is only available in the Honey Stripes and Quilted Moka designs.
Sizing FAQs
My dog is a puppy and still growing. Which size should I buy?
Measure their chest today and choose a size where they sit at the lower or middle end of the range. That way the adjustable harness can be let out as they grow. If they change size a lot, they'll need to move up a size later on.
My dog is in between two sizes. Which one do I choose?
Go by the chest and choose the larger size: it's better to tighten a little than to have it too snug. You're welcome to send us their neck and chest measurements and we'll confirm.
Can I exchange the size if it doesn't fit?
Yes. You have 30 days to exchange. You'll find all the details in our FAQs.
My dog is very fluffy. How do I measure them?
Pull the tape a little tighter so you're measuring the body rather than just the fur, without making it uncomfortable. Then add the usual 2-3 cm of room.
Do the harness and collar take the same size?
Not necessarily. Each has its own chart: the collar is chosen by neck size only, and the harness mainly by chest size. Check each chart separately.
