Start MeasuringA medium harness from Brand A might fit a 25 lb dog. Brand B's medium fits a 45 lb dog. The labels mean different things everywhere. Your dog's actual measurements are the only reliable starting point.
A crate that's too small causes anxiety. Too big and a puppy might use one end as a bathroom. The right size lets your dog stand, turn, and lie flat with a couple of inches to spare.
Puppies change fast. A 12-week-old Labrador might need a new harness every month. Save your dog's profile here and come back to update measurements as they grow.

Have someone offer treats while you measure. If your dog won't stand still, measure while they're lying on their side. For chest girth, wrap the tape around and slide it into place during a calm moment. Two quick measurements are better than one long struggle.
You should fit two fingers flat between the harness and your dog's chest. If you can't, it's too tight. Watch for chafing under the arms after the first walk. Red marks mean you need a bigger size or an adjustment.
If your dog can back out of the harness, it's too loose. Step-in harnesses should hug the chest without gaping. Front-clip harnesses need the chest strap sitting flat against the breastbone, not sliding to one side.
Start with short sessions. Feed meals inside the crate with the door open. Never use the crate as punishment. A properly sized crate feels like a den, not a cage. Most dogs adjust within a week or two.
Large breed puppies can gain 2-3 pounds per week. Check harness fit every two weeks. An adjustable harness with multiple adjustment points will last longer than a fixed-size one. For crates, buy the adult size and use a divider.
Brand charts vary. Use PupFit's recommendations as a starting point, then check the specific brand's size chart on their website. If your dog is between sizes, read reviews from owners with similar breeds to see if the brand runs large or small.

Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of your dog's ribcage, just behind the front legs. The tape should be snug but not tight. Your dog should be standing. If you don't have a tape measure, use a string and measure the string with a ruler.
For harnesses, go with the larger size if your dog is still growing or if the measurement falls right at the boundary. Most harnesses are adjustable by a few inches. For crates, always size up so your dog can stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
Yes, but puppies grow fast. Measure every 2-4 weeks and update the profile. Consider buying an adjustable harness that fits a range of sizes rather than a fixed size.
Crate sizing includes room for your dog to stand up, turn around, and stretch out. If the crate seems large, that's correct. A crate that's too small causes stress and discomfort. Some owners use dividers for puppies and remove them as the dog grows.
Not exactly. Each brand uses its own measurements for XS, S, M, L, and XL. That's why PupFit gives you the measurement range for each size so you can compare against any brand's chart. Always check the brand's specific chart before buying.
