How will you measure your pet

Be careful when you measure your pet, then it's never fun to get home after the highly anticipated products that prove to be too big or small! The size is as important to both clothes, shoes cages and beds. For the animal's comfort and well being. An animal should never feel too tight clothes, shoes crowd or a cage that you can not move.
Follow the guidelines below carefully to ensure the correct size.
If you are unsure do not hesitate to contact us, we will help you be happy to find the right size. When you contact us, it helps if you have the dimensions of your pet, then it is extremely difficult for us to ensure a size based on race or only estimated measurements.

 CLOTHING

Back length (a) is measured from the withers to the tail. Importantly, the dog stands in the position (back straight). The back length can be different at other angles
Neck Circumference (a) is measured at the bottom (where the neck is widest, closest to the back. Garment neck opening should be at least 3-10 cm greater than the perimeter.
Chest circumference (a) is measured around the dog's chest (widest) The garment chest measurement must always be at least 2" (small breeds) - 6" (larger breeds) inches wider than the animal's chest circumference. Long / thick hair may need more room. The dog should be able to move freely without the garment too tight.


 

Waist is measured around the dog's waist where it is narrowest (front legs) This measurement is rarely shown on dog clothes, but such Hurtta have this on their overalls.
Front leg length is measured on the inside from the chest down to the ankle. The garment front legs should be shorter than the dog's inner dimensions. (The garment length is right when it goes to the forearm.)
Back legs length is measured along the inner edge of the hind legs down to the hocks. (Garment length is correct when it goes into hock.)

Important to remember
Chest measurement is always the most important to adapt the selected size for. Clothing made of cotton always shrinks a bit in the wash. Choose never a size that is on the border. It is better that the dog has a few extra centimeters benefit, so the garment fits comfortably and does not affect the freedom of movement.

Footwear

Important measurements paws thoroughly.
The dog's claws should preferably be shorn before measurements are taken. Measure from the back of the foot to the ball as pointing the way out. The dog's claws, you must also reckon with, as this can differ greatly from dog to dog. Put the dog on a paper and draw around the paw. Or set it in a bowl with flour, snow or sand. Then measure more accurately based on the template. Shoes should never be exact in dimensions, but with no / few mm to the settlement at the forefront. Is the dog's paw measurement between two sizes, you should always choose the larger size.

 


 

Never guess for a shoe size without measuring carefully!
If you are unsure of the selected size, so choose the one you think and then type in your dog's paw size at checkout (contact details), so we check this before delivery.
