Measure your dog’s neck circumference when choosing clothing size for your dog

2. Measure the length of the dog, which is the back length. The dog's back length is measured from the neck circumference to the base of the tail. Back length data is very important in choosing dog clothing.

3. Measure the dog’s chest circumference. The length of a circle from the base of the front leg is the bust, and the size of the bust is related to whether a piece of clothing can be worn on a dog. However, this area is very hairy and fleshy, so it is difficult to measure accurately. You need to add 2-3 centimeters more.

4. Specific measurements of specific parts: If you need to make more delicate clothing, it is best to measure their leg length, the distance between the two front legs, and the length of the lower body (male dogs can be slightly shorter, female dogs can be slightly shorter) slightly longer) and so on. Some dogs suffer from overnutrition and have a weak stomach, and some dogs have short legs. This situation requires specific measurements and measures based on the "dog's" conditions.
