How to measure
- Neck: around the base of the neck, where the collar would sit.
- Chest: around the fullest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
- Back length: from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) to the base of the tail, following the curve of the spine.
- Front leg length: from the top of the shoulder down to the floor.
Keep the tape snug but not tight, with your dog standing.
Choosing your size
Every piece has its own size chart on its product page. Sizes are not the same across pieces, so always compare your measurements with the chart for the piece you are buying.
If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger size. Back length and chest matter most.
