Sizing question for anyone who uses AllSafe car harnesses

I'm going to buy one of these for Carbon for our travels but the sizing on the manufacturer's website is confusing (based on breeds and harness measurements vs actual dog measurements). If you use an AllSafe, what size do you use?

Carbon is small for a boy, 28 kgs/60 lbs. I'm thinking a medium may be better than large.

I have medium for W&S, and it's really too large in the chest. The girth is fine, but the front piece is too big. Carbón is rather broader in the chest, so it should fit him better :)
That's just what I needed to know - thank you! The online guide seems to point to a large, but then they mention "GSD and Doberman"...that is NOT the size of Carbon. :LOL:

If the medium works for W&S then it should be fine for Carbon too. Despite what you said, I think he is likely actually a bit smaller then they are!
 
Shadow is 26kg at his fighting weight (poor choice of words, maybe! 😬), but is a bit skinny right now, so probably about 25kg. His build looks a lot finer than what I’ve seen of Carbon’s; although Shadow is probably taller, I think he’s likely narrower in the chest. I can take a photo of him in the harness tomorrow for you to see :)

OK, I guess Carbon is a little bigger and a different shape: Shadow always looks so muscly in his photos! Carbon is more squishy. :LOL:

If medium is a tiny bit big for Shadow then it should fit Carbon perfectly.
