What size is best? We have a Golden Retriever puppy. Currently weighs 35#. What size is best for a 50-60# dog?

my dog is 40 lbs. perhaps the next size up would be good for your larger dog.

I bought the 8-inch for our 50lb dog. It's about the size of a soccer ball, so it's perfect for kicking. My old roommate also had a 30lb Lhasapoo, and I bought her the 8-inch ball, too. It was her absolute favorite toy. Our bigger dog hasn't done much damage to it yet, but she only plays with it outside. My roommate's dog chewed the handle off in about a week or two, but it rolls better without the handle, so it was probably a good thing.

Our dog Pete is a Queensland heeler mix and he has the big one,and he loves it, he also has the ball with no handle this one is his favored one, he herds it and get a high pitched bark,Pete has a great time. I guess it depends on what your puppy does with it.

I think the 8 Inch with the molded in handle is best. I have 2 60+ pound German Shepherds and they carry it around just fine and cannot damage it either.Bob

We have two English Bulldogs, the male is 70lbs and the female 50lbs, we have had both the 8" and 10" red jolly ball tug-n-toss, either way you go that handle will be chewed off in the first couple of days (if not hours). Once the handle is gone they still love it and play with it, so no worries there. Both sizes worked great for our dogs. But I advise to stay away from the colored/flavored ones, our male can destroy those in minutes, only the red ones have lasted for for us.

I bought the 6" for my 31# Aussie puppy and that is plenty big for her. I have a 62# shepherd (who isn't interested in it all, BTW) and the 6" is still a big ball for her. It took my puppy awhile to figure out what she wants to do with it. Now she hurls it like a shot put or lugs it around.

I think mine is the medium. I have a 150 lb black lab/Great Dane mix and it seems small for such a large dog. But it works! And Lexidog loves it

I would suggest a medium. My dachshunds are about that weight and the medium works perfect!

You can get either the medium or large. I have the large one for my German Shepherd (100 pounds), Husky (65 pounds), terrier mix and husky mix (both about 55 pounds) and Jack Russell (20 pounds). I use it for water only and all of them drink from the bowls.

What type of dog do you have? How large is your dog? My Newf weighs 120-125 pounds and a size large is perfect.

Our Bernard weighed 160 and the large was great. Its adjustable. Enjoy your big guy, we sure miss ours! I do still have his tags and collar!! :-)

My 5 small dogs range from 9 lbs to 21 lbs.. The small was way too big for the 9#, the medium was ok for the rest of them, but too short in the length to the tail for the 21 lb. Ordered the large for the 21# and it was HUGE! I ended up altering the small slicker for the 9# and altered the large one for the 21#......I recommend if your pet is at the higher end of the range for a particular size, I suggest you order the next larger size. If the slicker is not long enough to cover the pets back, what good is it? I like the material and the quality. But the sizing can be tricky. The sizes are for the length and girth of the pet, not the lbs. Hope this helps.

We had to buy this size for our golden retriever because the basket for the company recommended for a golden retriever was was tiny. They let me exchange for a different size without any problems. I strongly recommend using their measuring guide listed on theit website.

After reading all the reviews that said it ran small, I ordered an xl for my 90lb golden retriever. It was way too big for her. Not sure if it would be big enough for a dog twice her size though. I think it depends mostly on chest size.

My golden retriever weighs 68.5 lbs. and it is fine for her, but it is hard to get her lifted up there. Hope that helps.

should do well with the medium or large size. I have a Lab, Golden and a Basenji, all three do well with the large size.

My golden retriever is about 65 lbs. and I bought her an XL, which I think would be too large for your springer. I think a large would probably fit better. On a side note, I really like the zipper and handle features on this vest. Hope that helps. Teri

I suggest the 5". There's no draw back to getting a larger one. The toy isn't made to be carried around by the dog, but rolled and pawed around. Its lightweight, even with food or treats, so there's no worry about the bigger one being too heavy. Like others said, the larger one would hold more and would have less of a chance of being lost under things. Go big! =)

Even though he is heavy, I think 48x30 should be fine. Our Golden can stretch out in that size & she is long. I'd go more by his length than weight. Great crate!

I bought a large for my Golden Retriever, which I expect to get to about 80 lbs. It will fit him perfectly. I have the divider in it currently because he is still a puppy.

Buy the smallest...my ShihTzu is 10 pounds, my friends Westie is 15 XXS works on both. Love them. Tried them on the Westie today in the house and she never wanted them off. Just ordered 2 more sets.

I have the large drop style and my springer is 35 lbs right now and it seems to do a good job. If you can find a size smaller that might be best for your dog otherwise the large will probably work.
