How to measure your dog
It is important to take correct measurements of your dog to determine the right size of an item of clothing or an accessory.
- We recommend following the advice given below on taking your dog’s measurements.
- For greater convenience measurements should be taken using a tape measure.
The length of the back (1)
- To correctly measure the length of the back, your dog must stand up straight on all four legs.
- Place the tape measure along the spine from the base of the neck to the start of the tail.
Around the neck (2)
- Measure the size of the neck where the collar is placed.
- Be careful not to over-tighten the tape measure. Make sure to leave space for a finger between the neck and the tape measure.
Around the chest (3)
- Measure the widest part of the thorax, just behind the two forelegs.
- Be careful not to over-tighten the tape measure. Make sure to leave space for a finger between the chest and the tape measure.
You have taken your dog’s measurements, now you can check the chart below.
