Dog coat measurement guide

A Dog Coat measuring guide

For a comfortable well fitted dog coat, it is best to measure your dog from just below the collar line to the beginning of the dogs tail. If your dog is a good healthy weight the correct length of coat should give the best fit around the girth as well. The majority of dog coats increase in size every two inches; in even numbers, for example    12inch, 14 inch up to 30" in some styles. If your dog has a length measurement of say 13 inches it may be better to go for a 14 inch coat rather than a 12 inch to allow for fastening around the girth.  A size larger rather than a size smaller is often better, however there are always exceptions to that rule and we are happy to exchange should you choose the wrong size.

When fitting your dog with one of our dog coats for the first time, we ask kindly, if you wouldn't mind placing the tissue paper provided on the inside of the dog coat before trying it on your dog. This will just prevent any soiling of the coat in case it is the incorrect size and you need to exchange it.

The coat should fit snuggly around your dogs body allowing normal movement when walking and running and free unhampered toilet relief. If your dog hasn't had a coat before, occassionally some dogs need to get used to wearing one and a few short trials with treat rewards normally does the trick.
