WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

A FLEXIBLE MEASURING TAPE

A PEN AND PAPER TO JOT DOWN MEASUREMENTS

TREATS TO KEEP YOUR DOG CALM AND COOPERATIVE

STEPS TO MEASURE:

NECK MEASUREMENT: MEASURE AROUND THE THICKEST PART OF YOUR DOG'S NECK. MAKE SURE THE TAPE IS SNUG BUT NOT TOO TIGHT.

CHEST MEASUREMENT: MEASURE THE WIDEST PART OF YOUR DOG'S CHEST, USUALLY RIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT LEGS. AGAIN, ENSURE THE TAPE IS SNUG BUT COMFORTABLE.

BACK LENGTH MEASUREMENT: MEASURE FROM THE BASE OF THE NECK (WHERE THE COLLAR SITS) TO THE BASE OF THE TAIL. THIS WILL DETERMINE HOW LONG THE SWEATER SHOULD BE.

TIPS:

MAKE SURE YOUR DOG IS STANDING UP STRAIGHT WHILE YOU TAKE MEASUREMENTS.

IF YOUR DOG IS BETWEEN SIZES, IT’S USUALLY BETTER TO GO FOR THE LARGER SIZE FOR COMFORT.

CONSIDER YOUR DOG’S BREED AND BODY SHAPE, AS SOME MAY NEED ADJUSTMENTS FOR A PERFECT FIT.
