As long as the actual solid sleeve part safely covers above and below the wound / incision, the straps and the lower leg Velcro closure are highly adjustable- especially the straps!!! They are stretchy and quite long enough to tie them either tightly or loosely (for walking around vs. sleeping. SO if your dog’s measurements run somewhat in between sizes, at least in our case the larger would have been too big while the smaller was just right. I’m not positive but I believe I bought a medium instead of a large for an 80 pound Golden Retriever. In my opinion it’s worth buying this brand because it’s way better than all the alternatives available that we saw - it is the only one that actually would NOT fall down or get out of place (due to the highly adjustable stretchy strap placement) or ride up on the leg (due to adjustable Velcro closure). Hope you get what you need! **Q: I measured higher up on the thigh than the diagram. Is this correct?** A: My best answer is that you want the bottom of it to be at least a few inches below the "knee"(depending on your type / size of dog) so it hits at the thinner part of the dog's leg; it secures down there with adjustable velcro; I don't know where your dog's wound is but even if it is up higher, it cannot hurt to have the lower part with the velcro closure down by the "ankle" so it does not ride up. I had a 75 pound Golden Retriever and I followed the instructions and diagram for measuring and the size worked perfectly. The devise is stretchy and the ties are stretchy so there is a lot of flexibility in adjusting it. If you tie the string to the collar too tightly, you will see it pulling the collar too much and especially, when you tie the part around the abdomen, be sure you are not impinging on any organs. If you dog is just lying in one place or sleeping for the night with supervision, you can make the ties looser. This thing really stays on it is the only thing that did work for me. Bottom line, I would NOT measure higher up on the thigh than the diagram shows -- you need the bottom part lower down than the thigh - it needs to hit at the narrower part of the leg so the dog cannot push it up; plus the diameter of the velcro bottom probably would be too small to go around the knee area. Best of luck in both the long and short term with your pup! **Q: People have asked this but not gotten a good response yet: where on the thigh is the measurement made? Or, what part of the device are they measuring?** A: The measurement should be made around the highest point of the back leg up to the belly. We also suggest rounding up to the next size if the sizing falls in between two sizes. **Q: what is the length of the two leg sizes?** A: The large measures at 22" and the x large is at 24". My dog measures almost 26" from floor to hip. They both fit him, but the XL fits him better. It has more room on the under part of his leg. I rolled the cuff up on both of them and used safety pins to secure them. They tend to work their way down under his foot. The tie strings are holding up nicely, that kind of surprised me. Lol. I have been taking it on and off at least 4 times per day for walks. The stitching on the raised reflective strip came loose in the washer. That doesn't bother me because it does not interfere with the function. So, hand wash if needed and hang to dry. :) I will reccomend this product and would buy it again if needed. P.S. I am in cold country, so on the XL one I cut some wool to the shape and hot glued it into place for his walks and such. I use the L for warmer days. :) ## Frequently Bought Together - After Surgery Wear Hip and Thigh Wound Protective Sleeve for Dogs. Dog Recovery Sleeve.
