a guide to sizing

Please use the guide below to see where to place the tape measure when getting your measurements.

When measuring your pet, use a cloth tape measure or a piece of string and a yardstick. Do not pull the tape tight around your dog as you do not want the clothing to fit too snug.

GIRTH: Measure your pet's chest all the way around the widest part of it, just behind the front legs.
NECK SIZE: Measure around your pup's neck at the widest part.
BODY LENGTH: Measure your pup from the back of the head at where the shoulder blades meet to the point where the tail starts.
FRAME HEIGHT: Measure your pup from the top of its back to its belly (only measure one side).
UNDERSIDE: Measure from the start of the breastbone between the front legs, back to where its navel used to be :-)
DOG'S BREED: If your pup is a mix of several breeds, just choose a breed close to its size.

Please note that this is just an approximation of the standard sizes. You must measure your dog as individual dogs are more lean and some are more plump. If you are unsure you may e-mail us and I will help you so that your dog's ready made clothing fits correctly. The measurements you provide for custom made items will be used to assure a perfect fit.

Make sure you measure your dog correctly as there are no exchanges or refunds on custom dog clothing.
