How to Measure

In order to determine the best clothing fit for your dog, please measure using a soft measuring tape or use a string and measure against a ruler.
 
Please measure:
  1. Neck - not tight, please allow for some natural movement
  2. Girth - measure just behind forelegs, this measurement is very important when selecting proper clothing fit
  3. Length - from the base of neck to base of tail
 
Please refer to each individual product's size chart when selecting size. If your dog's measurement falls in between two sizes, we recommend you select the larger size. Your dog's comfort is important to us! Please do not hesitate to contact us at[email protected] if you have any questions or concerns about sizing.
To determine the proper muzzle size for your dog:
Length - measure your dog from the eyes to the tip of his/her nose.
Circumference - measure just below the dogs eyes at the widest part and go all the way around the snout. 
Small dogs add a 1/4"to 1/2" and Large dogs add 1 1/2" to 1" to the circumference.
