In order to find the right size of clothing for your dog, please complete the following measurements with a measuring tape. If you don’t have a measuring tape use a piece of string or a shoe lace, measure them and then measure the string with a ruler or tape measure.

Chest/Girth

Is the size of your dogs chest, at the widest point, which is generally found directly behind the front legs and up and over the back, or alternatively the thickest part of the body or trunk. Take into consideration the amount of fur your pup has. 

It is our opinion that this is the most important measurement for clothing. As with humans, if it doesn't fit around the chest, it won't fit!  Next important measurement is the length unless you have a breed with a large neck.

Length

The Length measurement is from the base of the neck (where their collar sits) to the base of the tail (where the tail is attached).
This is the most common measurement for clothing, however the back length will not matter if the chest measurement is not appropriate. Do not go by weight if it is a clothing item.  The lengths stated are the length of the item, this is more of a guide to how long the item will be on your pet's back.  The dog should be standing for this measurement, sitting can add inches.
