Re: Harness Size
hi chowjeff
I've just got my chow chow last week and taken him to the pet shop where they measured him and fitted a small padded harness with adjustable straps....however as Oz will no doubt be a large dog by the time he's one, so I will need to replace this with a medium/large harness. Definitely take your chow to get measured and try a few styles on as I came away with a completely different style that I thought I needed.
Good luck!

Re: Harness Size
Oscar's Mom is correct. If you are getting a harness for your pup, you will need to get him measured and buy the largest harness that will fit him now expecting him to grow into it up to a certain point. Most likely, he will outgrow it (in fairly quick time), and need a larger size. This would be true for a standard collar as well.
