How to measure your dog?
Three numbers, back length, neck and chest, are all you need to pick the right size.
Get ready
- A soft tape measure. No tape? Mark the length on a piece of string and measure that.
- Have your dog stand naturally. Do not measure lying down or sitting.
The three measurements
- Back length: from the base of the neck (roughly above the front legs) to the base of the tail. This is the number that matters most.
- Neck girth: around the thickest part of the neck, leaving a finger's width of slack.
- Chest girth: around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.
Reading the size chart
- Small Dog series: choose a size 5 to 7 cm shorter than the back length. For a 32 cm back, S fits snugly and M is relaxed.
- Big Dog series: choose a size about 10 cm shorter than the back length. For a 52 cm back, M fits snugly and L is relaxed.
- Between two sizes? Thick coats and round builds go one size up.
Good to know
Measurements may vary by 1 to 3 cm depending on the material. Every product page has the size chart for that model.
