Dog Size Guide
Suggested Dog Measurements
Note: Suggested dog sizes are just-a suggestion. Despite our breed suggestions, please double-check sizing your dog or puppy based on the measurements listed.
1) Measure the broadest part of the chest (shown as Chest on the illustration above):
For chest measurement, measure the chest at its widest point, which is typically right behind the front legs. If the dog has a large girth, going up a size in the top line measurement is always a smart choice, since some additional fabric will be used up.
2) The length of the backbone (shown as Length on the illustration above):
Measuring should be done along the dog's backbone from the base of the head to the base of the tail. This is from the base of where the collar rests to where the tail is attached. The measurements you see on all our apparel indicate this top line measurement. However, it's important that the dog's girth be taken into account as well as the top line measurement.
3) The circumference of the neck (shown as Neck on the illustration above):
The neck size determine whether the dog will be comfortable wearing clothing. If the neck is too tight, the dog would be hard to breath. There are different sizing ranges for different types of garments, due to how binding or flexible the material used is. The most important is the chest size, so if the chest size is ok the other measurements should be ok.

Size Guide by Breed
These are just suggested sizes based on breed. Only you know if your dog is bigger or smaller, skinnier or pudgier than the typical breed. Also, females in certain breeds, such as French Bulldogs, tend to be significantly smaller than the males. Please take that into consideration when choosing your sizes.
Another thing to consider: what if you have a mixed breed like a cockapoo or labradoodle? Or a good old mutt like my hound mixes? Then you've got to go on both these measurements and eyeballing how your breed matches up with the list below. And when it doubt, size up. Even I was surprised that my 30-pound dog Sadie--I call her my little black dog--isn't so little after all. She wears a size large.
