What size for your dog?

The breed is enough to start. A tape measure gives the surest answer.

Type the first few letters, or pick “I don’t know”.

We do not know this breed yet.

The silhouette and the weight give an answer just as useful.

cm For the collar and the bandana
cm For the harness and the bathrobe
One measurement is enough.
How to measure?

Run the tape where the collar sits, at the base of the neck. You should be able to slide two fingers between the tape and the coat.

For the harness, measure the chest girth at its widest, just behind the front legs.

No tape measure? A piece of string and a ruler do the same job: wrap, mark, measure it flat.

The neckline is wide and does not adjust: the head has to go through, and a flat-faced dog may need the next size up. The bathrobe is then taken in at the flank. Check the back length if your dog is long on short legs.
