How to Measure for your Dog Coat
1. Measure your dogs back length. Measure from the base of your dogs collar to how far you would like the coat to go down the dogs back. This is usually just before the tail joins the body.
2. Measure the dogs collar circumference
3. Measure your dogs chest circumference measurement at the widest point
THE SIZES ONLINE ARE THE LENGTH OF THE DOGS COAT ie 20" / 50CM
The length measurement of the dog coat is usually sufficient when ordering a coat. However, if you are ordering a dog coat for dog breeds such as staffie, Bull dog, Pug, Great Dane etc we would recommend a Made to Measure Bespoke dog coat as this will help ensure a good fit of the coat on the dog.
Advice Note:
Please do not over measure the length of your dogs coat. If you add on extra length you may find that the belly strap will not fit in the correct place on the dogs coat
Advice Note:
We advise to measure from the base of the collar along the dogs back to just before the tail joins the body. Please do not over measure the the length of the dogs back. If the coat is too long the belly strap will not sit in the correct place and the coat may hang over onto the dogs tail.

-

LENGTH, COLLAR AND CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE
-
To Measure the Length of the Coat:
Measure from the nape of dog’s neck where their collar sits to just before the base of their tail. When you do this, make sure that your dog is standing straight and try to prevent them from moving around too much or it could lead to an inaccurate reading. You will find if you over measure the belly strap of the coat / jacket will not sit in the correct place.
-
To Measure the Collar of the Coat:
Measuring around your dog’s neck is as easy as putting their collar on. Just measure around their neck, leaving the same gap as you would leave for their actual collars. Many of the coats are adjustable and this adds a little flexibility for the coat.
-
To Measure the Chest of the Coat:
For your dog’s chest, measure their girth just behind their front legs as shown in the diagram.
For many of the standard dog coats online the measurement required is usually the length of the coat, ie that is the size that is listed when you click on the online size. If however, your dog is deep chested, a little odd size or in general not a standard fit we would always recommend a Made to Measure option. This will allow your dog to have a perfect fitting jacket suitable for light rain or heavy winter wear
Dog Trouser Suit Size Chart
To Measure for the Dog Trouser Suits:
The main measurement that you see online is the LENGTH of the DOG SUIT, ie 20" / 50cm. To measure the length of the suit you need to measure at the base of your dogs neck along the spine of your dog to just before the tail joins the body.
