How to Measure Your Dog
Use a soft measuring tape and measure in centimetres while your dog is standing naturally.
-
Back length
Measure along the back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. -
Front leg length
Measure upwards from the point where the lower edge of the clothing will sit on the front leg to where the leg meets the body. Do not start at the ground. -
Back leg length
Measure upwards from the point where the lower edge of the clothing will sit on the back leg to where the leg meets the body. Do not start at the ground. -
Height
Measure vertically from the ground to the top of your dog’s torso, not to the head.
How to Avoid Ordering the Wrong Size
- Measure your dog carefully. Do not choose a size based only on breed, weight or the size your dog usually wears.
- Keep your dog standing naturally. Keep the tape close to the body without pulling it too tightly.
- Check all four measurements. Compare back length, front leg length, back leg length and height with our size chart.
- Allow for a thick or fluffy coat. Measure with your dog’s natural coat without flattening it tightly.
- Between sizes? If your dog is between sizes, or different measurements suggest different sizes, please contact us before ordering.
Still unsure? Send us your dog’s back length, front leg length, back leg length and height, together with their weight, and we’ll help you choose the most suitable size.
