Pug size chart: crate, harness & collar
What the published charts say for a Pug, across 19 harnesses, 6 crates and 7 collars. Every answer says how it was reached, and none of them replaces measuring your dog.

These are published breed figures, not your dog. Measure your dog — chest girth for a harness, neck for a collar, length and height for a crate.

Where a size reads as a span, the breed’s published range reaches across that many of the maker’s sizes. This site shows the span rather than choosing one for you.

Puppy?
Size for the adult and use a divider. A crate bought to fit a puppy is outgrown in weeks, and a crate with a spare end stops working as a den. Buy the adult size and move the divider back as the dog grows. A harness or collar is the opposite: buy for the dog you have now, because adult-sized straps slip on a puppy.
Is your dog a mix?
Mixes vary a lot. Measure your dog. A breed figure describes a published standard, and a mix is not held to one. Two dogs from the same litter can land two sizes apart on the same chart.
Measure your Pug
The tables above start from a published breed range. This starts from your dog. Crates need a body length and a standing height, plus 4 in of room.
Size your Pug
Enter what you have measured. Every answer below is the maker’s own published range against your number — a starting point, not a fitting.
Published range for the Pug: 18 to 24 in chest, 13 to 17 in neck (Hund & Shore, "Dog Collar & Harness Size Chart by Breed").
Measure your dog and enter it. A published range is a range: the boxes below stay empty because the middle of a range is a number nobody published. Full Pug size chart

Sizes come from each maker’s own published chart. Check the maker’s current chart before you buy: charts change, and nothing here is a guarantee of fit.
Common questions
- What size harness for a Pug?
- On the charts published by their makers, a Pug comes out at Julius-K9 IDC Powerharness Mini-Mini to 0 (3 sizes), Ruffwear Front Range Harness XS or S, Ruffwear Flagline Harness XS or S (by published chest girth), with 19 of 19 charts giving a size. Size labels are not comparable between brands, so read the range rather than the letter. Measure your dog's chest girth at the widest part of the rib cage and check it against the maker's own chart before you buy.
- What size crate for a Pug?
- By the makers' own weight guidance, a Pug comes out at MidWest Homes for Pets iCrate Single Door Folding Dog Crate 24-inch, MidWest Homes for Pets LifeStages Single Door Dog Crate 24-inch, Petmate Sky Kennel 21". Weight is the rougher route: a crate is sized on the body. Measure your dog from the nose to the base of the tail and from the floor to the top of the head while standing, add 4 inches to each, and compare that with the crate's interior, not its outside.
- How big does a Pug get?
- An adult Pug is 10–13 in tall at the shoulder, 14–18 lb. Published sizing charts give a chest girth of 18–24 in and a neck of 13–17 in. These are breed-standard ranges, not your dog: individual dogs sit outside them. Measure your dog.
