How to Choose the Right Size Clothing or Vest for Your Dog
Finding the perfect fit for your dog's clothing or vest is essential to ensure their comfort and mobility. Our sizing guide helps you measure your pet accurately and match their size to the chart provided. This guide is designed to make choosing the right size simple and effective.
Step 1: Measure Your Dog
To determine the right size, you’ll need three key measurements:
- Chest Girth: Measure the widest part of your dog’s chest, just behind the front legs.
- Neck Girth: Measure around the base of your dog’s neck where their collar naturally sits.
- Weight: Weigh your dog to match their size to the chart.
Tip: If your dog’s measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
