How to Get your Dog's Clothes Size

In selecting your dog’s clothing size, the most important thing to consider is the length. Always remember that when choosing any type of clothing for your favorite pet, the length must be close to the base of your pet’s tail. To get the exact size of your dog, use a measuring tape to determine his/her neck, back and chest. After doing so, please refer to our helpful tips below on the proper way of measuring your dog’s body parts:

1. For the neck—measure around your dog’s neck, allowing enough room for his/her neck to be comfortable.

2. For the back-- measure the length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.

3. For the chest—measure your dog’s chest starting from behind the front legs up to around his back. Make sure that you get accurate measurement for the chest because this will determine if the clothes that you are going to buy will fit your dog or not. For example, it you measure it smaller than the exact size, the clothes will not fit. On the other hand, if the measurement is bigger, your dog won’t be able to walk comfortably.

Our size guide will help you in determining the best fit for your dogs because our chart shows the measurements for the neck, back, chest and even the breed of your dog.
