Here is my 5 1/2 month old baby girl: (I don't have very many videos of her updated size :) SHE GROWS SO FAST :) so these will have to do.) (My oversized mini schnauzer is in there too.)

I want to order this seatbelt:

Is there any way to guess if I will need a Large or Xtra Large for when she is an adult? She has a harness that I can use for now but I'd like to get the size she will need so I'll have the right size harness for later. I don't know if it is even possible to guess at the weight or girth but I was thinking maybe you all could tell me your dog's size and age for comparison and if anyone knows their dog's girth that would be great too! Thanks so much!
Leah (we gotta be safe in the car)

Her current girth is 26 inches plus the 2 that you're supposed to add (see below) so that's 28 total and she weighs somewhere around 50-55 lbs. ...but since there is only 8 inches left with the Large then would you suggest I get a Xtra Large? I've never had a dog this big and her huge growth spurts is very new to me. ha ha. :) and also I don't really know when she'll stop growing.

Sizing guide: Measure pet’s girth around the broadest part of the chest and add 2". If the measurement is between sizes or if the pet has a stouter build, select the next size up for a proper fit.
X-Small fits girths 7"-16"
Small/Medium fits girths 12"-28"
Large fits girths 28"-36"
X-Large fits girths 32"-44

My girls are both 5 1/2 years old, spayed. Maggie weighs 65 lbs and is fairly thin. Penny is 73 and needs to get down to 70. She's a little shorter and much bigger boned. Don't know heights.

I have varying sizes.

Maggie is the smallest, a field Golden and is 21.5" at the withers and weighs about 53 lbs.

Sasha is the oldest, from field lines, is about 24" at the withers and weighs 65 lbs.

Lucy is from show lines, is 22.5" at the withers and weighs 68ish lbs. (She's much too heavy and is dieting)

Ray is a big boy but needs to lose weight. He has stomach problems however, so it's not easy with him. He's 27" at the withers and weighs about 100 lbs.

Amos has huge bones, is 26.5" at the withers and weighs about 87 lbs.

Chandler is slender. He is 24.5" at the withers and weighs 65 lbs.

Benny is also slender. He is 24" at the withers and weighs 63 lbs.
