We are frequently asked to suggest the right size of coat, boots, collars and harnesses for pets.  We offer suggestions, but ultimately, the final decision has to rest with the customer for a number of reasons.  Pets of the same breed differ in weight, height and length. 

Determining the Right Size of Coat and Sweater for Your Dog

With the dog standing, measure the length of pet’s back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. If the measurement is between sizes, we recommend going up one size. Also, if pet has a stout build, a deep chest, or is overweight, we recommend going up a minimum of one size for proper fit. If the dog is long-backed, like a Dachshund, a smaller size is recommended.

Determining the Right Size of Boots for Your Dog

While dog is standing, measure from the front edge of the small pads to the back edge of the large pad (do not include the nails). We recommend placing the foot on a piece of paper, marking the paper at the front and back of the foot, and then measuring between marks on the paper.
