Measuring Dog Clothing;

Dog clothing sizes are based on your pet’s length, height, and weight measurements.

There are two main measurements to consider,  in order to get the correct fit – the length of the backbone and the girth. To find the correct size, it is best to measure your pet when it is standing up.

Length: The best to measure the length, is by measuring the backbone of the dog from the base of the neck to the start of the tail (the base of your dog’s back). Start the neck measurement where the collar would sit naturally on your dog’s neck/back.
Chest: measure around the chest ½ inch behind the front legs. This is the deepest part of the chest. This measurement is often referred to as the “girth.” Remember that this may vary by breed.  The chest is a really important measurement, getting it right will mean your dog can move freely without any restriction.
Neck:  The neck size determines whether your dog will be comfortable wearing the clothing. If the neck size chosen is too tight, your dog can feel more restricted and may have trouble breathing comfortably.


Measuring for a Collar
Neck
: measure for a new collar by measuring your dog’s neck. A previous collar that still fits comfortably is a good starting place, but since manufacturers vary their measurements depending on a particular product, new measurements need to be taken. This is for your pet’s safety and for maximum comfort.

Ensure that you are able to fit two fingers (flat) easily between the collar itself and your dog’s neck. A collar shouldn’t be tight around your dog’s neck and it shouldn’t be the exact measurement of your dog’s neck. A snug fit is correct and all leather stretches a little over time.
Remember that collar sizes are the overall size of the collar. For safety reasons, be sure of the correct size so that the collar can’t snag on anything nor can the pet slip its collar.


Measuring for a Harness
Chest:
 measure snugly around the ribcage, just behind the front legs. Allow about 10% extra for comfort. The girth should rest close to the front legs so that it is supported by the ribcage, not the belly.

Remember that weight should be used as a guideline only, as it will not give an accurate length or width.
