How to Measure Your Dog for Clothes: Easy Size Guide

Petsnugs

Choosing the right size is one of the most important parts of buying dog clothes online. A good fit should let your dog move, sit and walk comfortably without feeling too tight.

What you need

Use a soft measuring tape. Keep your dog standing naturally and measure without pulling the tape tightly.

Measure the neck

Measure around the base of the neck where a collar normally sits.

Measure the chest

Measure around the widest part of the chest, usually just behind the front legs.

Measure the back

Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.

Before you order

Compare all three measurements with the product size chart. If your pet is between sizes, check the product-specific fit guidance before ordering.

Browse dog clothes at Petsnugs and use the size chart on each product page.
