Cockapoos are one of the most popular pet dog breeds in the United States, and they come in a variety of sizes. The smallest cockapoo is typically around 12 pounds, while the largest can weigh up to 28 pounds. When it comes to choosing the right size harness for your pet, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.
What is a Cockapoo
A cockapoo is a small, spindle-legged dog that was bred in the United States. They have a gentle, playful personality and are great family pets. However, they require a smaller harness than other breeds of dog. If you’re planning on getting a cockapoo, it’s important to know what size harness is best for them.
Here are four popular cockapoo harness sizes and their corresponding fit recommendations:
Small: A small cockapoo should wear a harness that fits comfortably around their chest and shoulders. We recommend the Halti® Small Dog Harness for Cockapoos.
Medium: A medium cockapoo should wear a harness that fits snugly around their chest but is not too tight. We recommend the Halti® Medium Dog Harness for Cockapoos.
Large: A large cockapoo should wear a harness that fits loosely around their chest and is at least 2 inches wide across the chest. We recommend the Halti® Large Dog Harness for Cockapoos.
Extra-Large: An extra-large cockapoo should not be wearing a harness at all; they are too big for most standardharnesses.

How to Measure Your Cockapoo’s Neck Size
If you have a cockapoo, you likely know that they are one of the cutest dog breeds around. They have big eyes, floppy ears, and a snout that is just the right size for kissing. However, like all dogs, cockapoos need proper attire to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In this article, we will discuss how to measure your cockapoo’s neck size so you can choose the right harness for them.
When it comes to sizing a harness for your cockapoo, there are a few things you will want to take into account. First of all, remember that the harness should fit snugly but not be so tight that it causes pain or discomfort. Second, the harness should fit close to the dog’s body so that it does not create any excess room on their chest or stomach. Finally, make sure to measure your cockapoo’s neck circumference before selecting a harness as this will give you an accurate idea of which size to order.
Once you have measured your cockapoo’s neck circumference, use our guide below to find the corresponding size harness. The first step is to find the length of your cockapoo’s neck, which you can do by stretching it out as far as possible. After you have measured the length of the neck, use our chart below to find the corresponding size harness.
If your cockapoo’s neck circumference is between two sizes on our chart, we recommend ordering the smaller size. If your cockapoo’s neck circumference falls on a size that is not listed on our chart, we recommend ordering the larger size.
Which Harness is the Right Fit for My Dog
There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to harnesses for cockapoos. Your dog’s neck size, build, and age will all play a role in determining the right fit.
If your cockapoo is overweight, a larger harness might be necessary to keep them in check. Conversely, if your cockapoo is underweight or has a slender neck, a smaller harness may work better.
A good rule of thumb is to size up for larger dogs and down for smaller dogs. Look for a harness that fits snugly but not so tightly that it restricts movement. A good way to determine if the harness is too tight is to have your cockapoo lay down on their back with the harness on and see if their chest rises and falls with their breathing. If it does, the harness is too tight and should be replaced with one that is more comfortable.
How to Measure Your Cockapoo for a Harness
There are a few things you’ll need to measure before you purchase a harness for your cockapoo. The first is the size of your cockapoo’s neck. Then, use the following chart to find the right harness size.
Cockapoo Neck Size Harness Size (Inches)
6-8″ 10-12″
8-10″ 12-14″
10-12″ 14-16″
How to measure your dog for a harness
When it comes to choosing the right harness size for your cockapoo, here are a few tips to follow:
-Measure your cockapoo around the chest behind the front legs at its widest point. This is your dog’s chest measurement.
-Then measure around the dog’s waist at its narrowest point. This is your dog’s waist measurement.
-Add 2 inches to both measurements to get the overall harness size. For example, if your cockapoo’s chest measurement is 28 inches, then their overall harness size would be 30 inches.
-Choose a harness that fits snugly but not too tight, and make sure the straps are wide enough to fit comfortably around your dog’s body without being too tight or restrictive.
Conclusion
When it comes to sizing harnesses for cockapoo puppies, it is important to consider their size at the time of purchase and not grow into the harness as they do. Harnesses that are too small can cause discomfort or injury when worn and those that are too big can be extremely frustrating for a pup who isn’t yet strong enough to handle the restraint. A good rule of thumb is to buy one size bigger than your pup’s current weight so that the harness will be comfortable but still provide adequate restraining force.
