Find the right fit

Chest

Measure the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.

Neck

Measure the base of the neck where a collar would sit.

Using the tape

Use a flexible fabric measuring tape. Keep it snug, not tight—one finger should slide underneath. Measure in inches.

Choosing a size

Choose the size range that includes your measurement. If you fall between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit.
