Red Light Therapy Vest · Size Guide

Find the right fit for your dog.

The Solaura therapy vest comes in two sizes — Standard and Large — designed for medium to large dogs. The vest is not recommended for dogs under 30 lbs, as the panel may not achieve a secure, flat fit on smaller frames. If your dog is under 30 lbs, please measure before ordering.

How to measure your dog's back.
1
Measure back length
With your dog standing, measure from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) to the base of the tail. This is your primary fitting measurement.
2
Measure chest girth
Measure around the widest point of the chest, just behind the front legs. The vest straps need to close comfortably — not tight.
3
Compare to panel dimensions
Your dog's back length should be equal to or slightly shorter than the panel height — Standard 40cm, Large 55cm — for full lumbar coverage.
4
Fit check
When fitted, the panel should lie flat against the back with the LEDs in full contact with the coat. You should be able to fit two fingers under each strap.
Between sizes? Measure your dog's back length and compare it directly to the panel heights — Standard 40cm (15.7"), Large 55cm (21.7"). The panel should cover from the base of the neck to the lumbar region. If your dog's back length falls between the two, choose the larger size for greater LED coverage and therapeutic area.
