Ruffwear sizing is WRONG

By Backcountry.com Employee January 15, 2009

I bought the M (26in-36in) since my dog's girth is 31in and it does NOT in any way fit him! It is a good 4in too short around the widest part of his ribcage so I can't fasten it into place. The second fastener near the rear of his body closes just fine. I have the web harness size M and that fits him fine, he is a boxer/ridgeback mix, 70lbs., so the M should have fit him. Ruffwear's site suggests sizing down if in between sizes, but I would size UP. The tag says, 'performance fit' so maybe that explains the difference. The quality of this pack otherwise looks great and I own a lot of Ruffwear products but I have to give a low rating for the misinformation and inconvenience. Here's hoping the L works...

So did the Large fit? I have a german sheppard about 75 pounds and looking into buying this dog pack, but I'm not sure which one to order. Not so easy returning for me since I'm in Canada so I'd like to get the right sizing...
