The mini thickness is recommended for puppies and small breeds (up to 20lbs).

The regular thickness is appropriate for all breeds that are over 10lbs.

If your dog is between 10-20lbs, either thickness should work.

The Sidekick comes in a standard 6ft length only.

All other products come in varying lengths. The length you choose depends on your intended purpose. For example, if you will be using The Dynamic Duo as a harness, we recommend the 8ft length since it will be wrapped around your dog's body.

USPS Shipments May Not Be Scanned
Sometimes, USPS shipments may not be scanned at all or may only be scanned once, which can make it difficult to track the progress of your package. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as:

  • The package was not scanned at the time of shipment.
  • The package was scanned but the scan did not update in the tracking system.
  • The package was scanned but the scan was not recorded correctly.
  • USPS Shipments May Prompt as Being Delivered but Not Received

In some cases, a USPS shipment may be marked as delivered even though you have not received it. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as:

  • The package was delivered to the wrong address.
  • The package was delivered but the mail carrier did not scan it as delivered.
  • The package was delivered but you were not home to receive it.
  • If you are concerned that your USPS shipment has not been scanned or has been marked as delivered but you have not received it, you can contact USPS customer service for assistance.

Here are some tips to help you avoid these problems:

  • Request a receipt when you drop off your package at the post office.
  • Track your package online using the USPS tracking number.
  • Check your mailbox regularly, even if you are not expecting a package.
  • If you do not receive your package, contact USPS customer service immediately.
