[nagdu] Belly strap?

[Raven Tolliver]

I would personally leave it on the loose side as you are. This
definitely won't be the last time you have to adjust the belly strap,
so it's fine. She's still growing, and she'll fill out in the chest as
well.
A good rule, as Emily said, is to be able to fit your hand between the
belly strap and the dog's belly, or technically their chest. That way,
you know it fits just right, and they have breathing room.
