Hi everyone. My pup Otto is now 8 months old and ready for a grown up harness. I have decided to get him the perfect fit harness from dog games after reading glowing reviews on it here on the forum. Otto is around 8kg and his girth is 48 cm. I just wondered what size other people have brought. I'm undecided between the 20mm and 15mm range, I want it to be comfortable and have growning room but be comfortable too. Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thank you
Perfect fit harness, what size to order?

Re: Perfect fit harness, what size to order?
We have a Perfect Fit harness for our minis and we have gone for the 15mm range as ours are not strong pullers when walking. Pip has the XS-XS- M size. She is almost two years old now and fully grown but will be about 7.5-8 kg in weight. If Otto is already 8 kg and you think he may grow bigger and/ or he is a strong puller on lead you might want to get something a bit larger although you can buy individual pieces as a dog grows rather than a whole new harness.
There is a general guide on the website ( breed is listed as schnauzer ( miniature) ) but I have found the staff on the phone at the company very helpful too

Re: Perfect fit harness, what size to order?
i purchased a 15mm when Torsten was 6 months. and it did him well, but by just over 1 the back piece was just to small for his now broad back, after a few emails back and forth and a trial of a bigger back piece, i ended up having to buy a whole new 20mm harness for him.
Thankfully Elica fits the first harness so it wasnt wasted.
so my long winded point is just to say, to contact them and if they recommend 2 like they initially did with me, go for the bigger one and save yourself some money ;)
