To get the best fitting coat, you will need four measurements.
1. Around the base (lowest/thickest) part of the neck, usually where the collar sits. This is your 'neck' measurement. Our coats come with an adjustable neck, the measurement listed on each product is the size of the neck with the velcro even.
2. Around the chest - just behind the front legs/the deepest part of the chest. This is your 'girth' measurement.
3. Length from base (bottom) of neck to base (start of) tail (this is where the coat will end). This is your 'length' measurement. We recommend for a good fitting coat to have the coat end 1-2cm from the base of the tail.
4. Depth from inbetween your dogs shoulder blades down the side of your dogs body to it's elbow on it's front leg. This is your 'depth' meausrement and will tell you how far down the side of the body the coat will come to.
Measurements should be firm but not tight, with your dog tanding up straight, not sitting or laying down. It is best to measure with a soft tape measure, or string and then measure the string on a ruler.
