  Getting a coat or jacket for your big fur baby during the Autumn and Winter months for walks and outings is a lovely gift. We have some top quality, comfortable winter coats and jerseys that are durable and eco friendly. Below is a guideline for measuring your dog to ensure you get the best fit.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.   

measuring for dog clothing

The most important measurement for jackets is the back length. You want to ensure your dog is covered and kept warm and dry.
The neck and chest measurements for the clothing ranges are generous and the velcro straps allow you to reduce or enlarge the fit depending on the shape of your dog.
We recommend you choose the size giving the most comfortable fit. If your dog is broader, has a thick coat or is right at the top of a size, consider going up a size.

Length - Measure from the base of the neck (where the collar would normally sit) to the base of the tail along the dog's backbone
Neck - Measure around the neck as you would for a collar
Chest - Measure right around the body around the deepest part of your dog's chest, usually just behind the dog's front legs
