How to measure

Three quick measurements

Use a soft tape measure while your dog is standing. Treats and a helper make it easy.

Where to measure a dog: 1 chest, 2 neck, 3 back length from the base of the neck (point A) to the base of the tail (point B)
  1. 1
    ChestMost importantAround the widest part of the ribs, just behind the front legs. Snug, not tight.
  2. 2
    NeckAround the widest part of the neck, where a collar sits.
  3. 3
    Back lengthFrom the base of the neck (A) along the spine to the base of the tail (B).

Wiggly pup? Measure twice and use the larger number. Don't measure over a harness or sweater.
