While it would probably fit him, there won’t be a lot of wiggle room. The ‘medium’ size Tampa Bay Collar fits dogs with a neck size of 15-17.7.″ The ‘medium’ size would be a much better option for your dog. If his weight fluctuates or he gains some muscle mass, the ‘medium’ harness will still fit. However, if he gains weight or muscle mass with the ‘small’ harness, it will no longer fit him.
You also need to think about your dog's expected adult size if he is a puppy. Of course, your pup will need a collar, but it may not be best to invest in a personalized, high-quality collar until he is full grown. If you have a very small breed, you can probably buy one collar that will fit him for his entire life. But, if you have a large breed, he'll likely go through 3 or 4 different sized collars before he's fully grown.

How To Measure Your Dog For A Collar Properly
You will need to measure around your dog's neck. Pretend the fabric tape measure is a collar, and wrap it around the neck where a collar would usually sit. If your dog has a thick, fluffy coat, do not take the coat into consideration when measuring his neck. Wrap the measuring tape tightly around his neck. You should only be able to fit one finger between your dog’s neck and the tape. If you can fit more than that, you need to wrap the measuring tape tighter.
