Doesn’t size matter?
In the dog world the English Springer Spaniel standard is 50 to 55 lbs and always described as a medium sized dog. If the Chihuahua is as small as 2 lbs and the Saint Bernard as large as 240 plus lbs, then a Springer is definitely a medium sized dog. However, when I need to purchase anything for Eliot, I find that he always fits in the large category.
His Frontline Plus is for large dogs 45 lbs to 88 lbs. Most of his other medications are listed as large for over 50 lbs. His coat, raincoat, safety car harness, and halti are all a size large. Even his crate was a large. The larger sizes always cost more.
Is this a way for manufacturers to make more money?
Do you find this to be true with your Springer?
