How to Size Dog Apparel
Sizing Coats, Sweaters, Shirts & Safety Vests:
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, it is recommended going up one size. Also, if the pet has a stout build, a deep chest, or is overweight, it's recommended going up a minimum of one size for proper fit. If the dog is long-backed, like a Dachshund, a smaller size is recommended.
Midriff Style Jackets and Shirts:
For shorter midriff style garments, measure the length of pet's back from the base of neck to base of the tail. Due to the unique styling of midriff garments, they may sit higher on the dog's back.
